2012 Panini National Treasures Baseball

Who cares that it doesn’t have the MLB logos? There is nothing Pannini can do about that. The MLB are a much of greedy jerks.

Having said that, too rich for my blood for too much of a risk, and FAR too many subsets. No way to possibly put together a set, as I am mostly a set collector.

If anyone one knows of a “Scooter” nickname card #/25, for sale or trade, I’m in the market. Thanks.

Great looking cards and fun watching breaks on livecasebreak.com

I bought another box while the price was under $400.00 and i did better than my previous box.My box yielded a Yogi Berra button card(#D/4),Bo Jackson prime 2 color logo patch/Autograph(#D/25),Don Sutton on-card auto(#D/25),Charlie Gehringer jersey(#D/25) and the main hit a legends book card of Joe Dimaggio multi-pinstripe(#D/25).To say the least i got a great box.The gambler in me would try another one but at the current price of $429.00 a box i’ll wait until NT Football comes out and again a 3 star rating because of the price only a few collectors can afford and enjoy.

In response to Brian: I neither work for Panini nor am I pimping their product. Rather, I am blown away by the fascinating array of historical artifacts, and auto-mem’ issues from athletes traditionally under-represented in the hobby due to the scarcity of material.
The beauty of The Cardboard Connection is that it’s a forum through which collectors can engage in an exchange of thoughts, OPINIONS and ideas.
That said, I have no vested interest in Panini products and I’ve roasted them before. I would consider it a personal favor if you refrained from belittling my opinions in the future as I will do for you.

I busted one box so far and while i didn’t get a “big hit” i like the idea of getting a book card in every box and while not every book card is autograph some have really nice patches and some just plain ole single color jerseys.Some of the book cards that i seen(Ty Cobbs cut auto/jersey,1/1)was a MONSTER hit.Yes your gonna get some no name players and plain old jersey swatches .I really think this product will be a big hit and steadily go up in price.I might go after some singles on Ebay before i try another box.I would of given this product 4 stars but the price is way to high for the average collector.

Jamey sounds like a Panini employee pimping his product. Those cards arehidoues looking. Except for the beautiful Jumbo all-white jersey patches.

Without the product having gone live, and with just the pre-sell images to go by, how can anyone accurately assess this product?
At $400+/8 card pack, this is clearly the Lotto of products. That said, the cut auto, the button cards, the bat knob cards, the inclusion of incredibly rare autos & mem’ from seldom seen yet pivotal athletes such as Satchel Paige, Carl Furillo, Joe Johnson, Tris Speaker, Miller Huggins, Walter Johnson, Roberto Clemente, Casey Stengel, Lefty Grove, and Ty Cobb, amongst others, demands that big-game hunters take notice. Further, collectors can expect auto-patch rookie cards from Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Yoenis Cespedes, Yu Darvish and Will Middlebrooks to reach dollar figures that look more like car payments than anything else.
Like any other super high-end product there is an element of risk. However, collectors who are seeking singles and once in a lifetime hits that will be virtually impossible to reproduce, those who truly seek cards that are more escapees from Cooperstown than Trading Cards… it seems we should look no further.

oh my, this product looks terrible for the price.

Tons of nearly impossible name to find…. Stick it to topps !

Agreed. No logos, no uniforms – boring!

No license? This looks terrible. Why have a product THIS high end with no license? Makes no sense.
