Product Review

2012 Panini Gridiron Football Product Review

Reviewed By Mike Smeth

Good: Great photography, Strong base set, Multitude of Insert Sets, Overall Nice Design, Some Great Rookie Inserts.

Bad: Unnecessarily large cast of rookies, "X" autographs look horrible and play a disproportionately large role in the product, Completely unrecognizable when compared to Gridiron Gear sets of the past.

The Bottom Line: 2012 Panini Gridiron Football is a bit of a head scratcher. It has a lot going for it, but it's so far removed from the Gridiron Gear brand it would have made far more sense to simply launch this product as a new standalone brand rather then a continuation of Gridiron Gear. The new look brand has a vastly improved base set that features some very cool photography that had me doing double takes as I was breaking my review box.

The insert sets are more of a mixed bag. About half of them are really good, and the rest are mediocre to average at best. Autographs play a more prominent role then in the past, but the focus seems to be more on quantity then quality. And don't be surprised if you pull a couple of memorabilia cards or patches along with them.

If you're looking for a product that features a compelling base set and gives you a fairly good shot of hauling in some really cool rookie autograph inserts and patch cards, 2012 Panini Gridiron Football is a nice change of pace football card product that is worth the price tag (which as of this review stands at around $105+ per hobby box).

Staff Rating:
3.8 / 5.0

Card Design: 4.2/5.0

The base set features great action photography and a design that puts this great photography at the forefront, without any unnecessary distractions. Insert wise, the designs that really steal the show are the Gridiron Kings Jerseys, Gridiron Kings Rookie Autographs and the O's Prime Material Patches. My absolute favorite cards in the set are the Rookie Gridiron Gems Autographs. They feature silver-ink autographs atop player worn jersey material which make the autographs pop off the cards.

There are also some inserts that are flat out eyesores. Atop this list are the "X" autograph parallels some of the ugliest inserts I've seen in quite some time.

Checklist: 4.0/5.0

Panini packed 2012 Gridiron Football to the brim with lots of insert sets. Considering the relatively small assortments of inserts per hobby box, it would have been nice if they were more judicious regarding which inserts made it to the set's final checklis as there are some truly fantastic insert sets to be had, but they are bogged down by a lot of unnecessary and forgettable inserts subsets. The ugliest and least desirable of the insert subsets are the "X" autograph parallels. This forgettable addition to 2012 Panini Gridiron consists of 100 rookies, the vast majority of which have little to no value to collectors.

I would like to see more of a focus on quality versus quantity in the 2013 edition in regards to the hits per box. There are too many potential low value rookie autographs pulls of late round picks, offensive linemen and defensive player that do little more then act as hit filler that pad the per box hit count.

Value: 3.5/5.0

Overall the value of the product is largely tied to which of the many insert sets your box contains. One of the main reasons Panini cut out the "Gear" in "Gridiron" was to reflect an increasing focus on autographs, inserts and the base set versus the memorabilia-centric product of old. While Gridiron features signficant improvements on the base set and insert set sides of things, they have relied far too much on their "X" autograph parallels as "filler' autograph hits. I would have liked to see these eye sores eliminated from the product completely as they do nothing more then artificially inflate the hit counts of boxes and take up space that could otherwise be taken up with some of the many other extremely cool insert sets that 2012 Panini Gridiron has to offer.

The Fun Factor: 3.5/5.0

Gridiron Gear was one of my favorite Donruss products, so I'm sad to see it go. I would have rather seen it return to its Donruss roots. The biggest buzz kill for me was that half of the 4 hits in my box were "X" autograph parallels of no-name players - which are far and away the worst part of the set.However, 2012 Panini Gridiron is still a fun set that is a worthwhile addition to Panini's 2012 NFL product line. It's a product that offers a complete box breaking experience because the value extends beyond just the hits thanks to a well crafted base set and a selection of worthwhile insert sets.

I pulled a Jermaine Gresham /250 that looks like a die cut x… but it isn’t actually cut from the card stock. I can see the impression of the cut but it is still in the card. Is there anything special about that or is this card just filler.

I thought that the design was very nice, and it’s easy to get cards #ed to under 300 from top rookies in the NFL. One of the best sets of the year!

I like this product because I bought a rack pack and got a Justin Blackmon gridion gear. It is the first hit I ever got. The photography is great and I like the design.

A nice inexpensive addition to anyone’s collection as well as another option for set collectors. Many high end collectors tend to shy away from these products, but we all have purchased products like this in our youth. Which nicely segway into my next comment, great product for entry level collectors, I for one have picked up several “Retail” versions as a curiosity. For that purpose, it has served me very well. Will I cease collecting Triple Threads or Black? Never! But this is a fantastic product in between one release to another!

I give these cards a 3. That low mainly because as opposed to most of the other 2012 cards these aren’t very unique. Plain-jane cards and even the inserts are of very little value. I really don’t like the look of these cards at all.

Great set of cards i would prefer them. Like the design and just the quality in general. Got me a set not to long ago and i’m very pleased.

I have bought two boxes and multiple packs so far and I really like the look of the cards. Pulled rookie gems signed jersey cards of Griffin, Martin, Blackmon and Foles. Would give five stars if they had a price point under $100 at the card stores.

JC

The use of HDR photography for the base cards makes the images pop and look very modern. The insert sets look fine, but they lack the wow factor to really make me want to collect a set. The slide-out signed relics are horrible. The signatures often look faded. And what’s the purpose of allowing the relics to slide out? None. Seems like a failed gimmick.

Vince

I have to agree wit bob. I have open 5 ” HOT ” boxes now. Only one i would actully consider “HOT” cause it thru out a luck gridiron auto and a griffin dual jersey auto. Thats what i consider a hot box not 6-7 jersey cards n few no name autos

set is basically the same as previous 2 years in what it yields. most “HOT” boxes i’ve seen broken on line just have extra jersey cards of no real value and auto cards of defensive position players worth maybe $4 or $5 on ebay.
