Cheap Wax Wednesday Box Breaks: 2022 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Baseball
2022 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Baseball features a 220-card checklist. There are some big name prospects included, with Jackson Holliday and Druw Jones being the first two cards on the checklist. The entire base checklist also has autographed versions, so there are some good autographs to chase down! Each box should yield five autographs, too.
Panini Prizm is a powerhouse brand in basketball and football, but doesn’t have the same prestige in baseball. Each base card is also found with a lot of parallels. Twenty five to be exact. Fifteen of those are numbered parallels, including one-of-one Black Finite and one-of-one Gold Vinyl.

Mederos was a sixth round draft pick in 2022. He is currently in the Angels farm system, but hasn’t fared all that well in minor league ball. He currently has a 6.19 ERA.
Pack 2:
Cam Collier, Will Mabrey, Chase Meidroth, Thomas Harrington Silver Prizm, Mason Barnett Blue Prizm, Jud Fabian Power Surge Purple Wave Prizm, Dylan Lesko Thunder Struck & George Valera Signing Sessions Autograph
Valera was a top-100 prospect before the 2023 season but has struggled some since. This season he has a .722 OPS in 52 Triple-A games.
Pack 3:
Adam Mazur, Walter Ford, Anthony Hall Silver Prizm, Trey Dombroski Red Prizm, Jace Jung Prizmatic, Nick Vogt Tiger Stripes Prizm (96/99), Logan Wagner Neon Orange Prizm Autograph (04/20) & Landon Sims Power Plaid Prizm Autograph (07/17)
Sims was drafted at the end of the 2022 first round. He has pitched well this season, with a 2.83 ERA between A and High-A ball.
Pack 4:
Jacob Misiorowski, Tyler Schweitzer, Jack Leiter, Hao-Yu Lee Silver Prizm, Ivan Melendez Mojo Blue Prizm, Jordan Beck Big Man on Campus, Drew Gilbert Tiger Stripes Prizm (49/99) & Logan Tanner Big Man on Campus Autograph
Tanner hit .285 over three college seasons at MSU. He has struggled so far in the minors, though, hitting just .195 in three seasons.
Pack 5:
Jackson Ferris, Kenya Huggins, Tyler Stuart, Joe Lampe Silver Prizm, Wilman Diaz Blue Wave Prizm, Tanner Schobel Power Surge, Ivan Melendez Power Surge & Blade Tidwell Silver Prizm Autograph
Tidwell has a 3.59 ERA through 45 minor league games. He is currently in Triple-A in the Mets farm system.
Lastly, the Ferris card back. Ferris is currently in High-A for the Dodgers, and sports a 3.89 ERA across 18 starts.
I lucked out with this one finding six autographs. Unfortunately, none were huge names, though. Pulling one of the big boys certainly could have made the box, especially if it was a low-numbered parallel.
