So Panini had me fooled. I have busted two boxes of this stuff over the past few months. I didn't hit anything huge, but I had fun. Pulled a few trade-able pieces, a few PC pieces, and have enjoyed the Crusade rainbow chases. I was very impressed that Panini seemingly had released a very well-balanced product with a low base card count (100), a focus on the key rookies, and good hit ratio, and some great parallels. Well today I was brought back to earth by how lame a box can be.

There is an average over the 5 boxes of a 24+% duplicate ratio leading to significant challenges in my attempt to compile the base set. And the number of quality GU's, AU's and parallels over the course of several boxes is much less than expected.

This break (everything I up in the Org and listed for trade:

Kobe: All base

Crusade Blue: Marcin Gortat, Cedric Maxwell (PC), George Hill, Metta World Peace, Thadeus Young, Andrew Bynum, Zaza Pachulia, JJ Hickson, Deron Williams, Dwayne Wade, Josh Smith, Alonzo Mourning, Calvin Murphy, Anfernee Hardaway!, Steve Francis

Crusade Red /99: Lance Thomas, DeAndre Jorda, Jeremy Lin
No other colors!

Inserts (1 per box): Dirk Nowitzki Nobility, Walt Frazier Royalty, Chris Paul Knight Court

Quest Autos: Tornike Shengeli, Jimmer Fredette, Lavoy Allen, Greg Stiemsma, Kent Brazemore, Robert Sacre, Doron Lamb Redemption, Lance Thomas Redemption

Majestic Auto: Mark Price

Quest Memorabilia: Raymond Felton, Ben Gordon, Tristan Thompson, Enes Kanter, Brook Lopez, DeShawn Stevenson

Majestic Memorabilia: LaMarcus Aldridge, Shawn Marion

Majestic Memorabilia Gold/ Prime /25: Tyreke Evans, I include a picture of this because I think it is a beautiful card, I just wish it was a different player.

You have done well with this stuff though over all. These boxes looked rough though. You hit a sweet kobe relic and base in previous boxes. The reke is a great card man.

Also I should hAve added this. Shoot me a list of your base needs. If I can be any help I will just send them. I think I broke 3 boxes all told so I might....might be able to help.

Looks like a fun break! Sick patch on the Evans!!

I would love the Wade and Mourning if they are available.

You're right, that Tyreke Evans patch is a beautiful card and has a sick patch.
