2012 Panini Prime Signatures Football Cards

Picked up a box for $40. Product looks great and I pulled a Peyton Manning Gold auto #10/18!

Surprise, Surprise! Mrs. Toshi picked up a 2012 Prime Signatures at Walmart! Yes, this is not a typo. A hobby box at Walmart. Stranger things have happen.

I have seen, read, and viewed this product on several occasions. For some reason, I have overlooked this product in favor of ’12 Limited and ’12 Prominence. I am pleased to report that I am pleasantly surprise with Mrs. Toshi’s purchase.

It is a extremely attractive product. That’s just the way that the box is presented and opens. So when the pack was lifted from the box, just the weight alone told me of the nature of the card stock. The stock was of such a excellent and a very high quality stock, it took away from the realization that all four corners were made of titanium. Well, this might be a slight execration, for whatever panini utilized in producing a card that had no nicks for it’s thickness is a revolution for the card industry in itself. I have read horror stories in damaged cards that have thick stock.

The first cards that were base was well made and had a minimalist presentation. The hit, a dual auto was somewhat of a surprise as it was well laid out in an offset pattern. This is definitely a “Prime” product.

Ok I like that you included the full set and Photo’s but I own a 2012 Prime Signatures Lem Barney Gold Autograph 05/25 and It was not in the list and it is card no. 109 and on your list Card 109 came up as Randall Cobb. PLEASE EXPLAIN!

First, the product description is not accurate, in that not all rookies have on card sigs, unless my rookies are card signed with a sticker over them.

With that said, these cards look fantastic. The 96 point card stock feels great, and the all white cards really make the player photos pop, and look really classy.

I bought two boxes (packs) because of a good deal online. I didn’t get any cards I wanted, but got some excellent trade bait. My first pack had two base cards, a Red Parallel, and an auto redemption. My next pack had a real surprise (I don’t know how rare this is)… I pulled two base cards, a Red Parallel, a rookie signature, and a completely unexpected 5th card, a Gold Parallel rookie signature!

Most people say that for the money, you should get more than one hit per box. Keep in mind that with many other lines, a single pack contains 4-5 cards with only one guaranteed pull per pack, and are at a similar retail price point (2012 Absolute Football comes to mind). Prime Signatures however comes with a guaranteed auto, and a parallel in every pack. That’s two hits in my book!

Overall, for the price, hits, good overall lineup and excellent looks, this years set is a winner in my opinion!

the one positive is it has retired players and HOF players which makes it worth the risk….and if i was going to try to complete a set ,this would be in my top 5….variety..quality and all numbered….its prob best to buy a case at a time..since the price rarely will go up!

Too many unknowns and with only one hit a box it can be risky. The ones who hit with the RGIII”s or Luck will undoubtedly think that it is the best on the street but overall it can be a little too risky.

I love this set. Besides the excellent quality, the design of the cards is scimitar perfect. Now, if only the town I live in would sell them.

I paid $50 for a box at my LCS. Pulled a triple auto of Andrew Luck, RG3 and Trent Richardson (on card autos). Obviously Im biased but for $50 I think its one of the better gambles out there.

I like the design on some of the cards, but not at all on others. Is it just me or does this set look a lot like half a dozen other sets already on the market? $64 for one hit per box isn’t bad if people are interested in building a set. I’m not sure that’s the case, though.

I like the design of the overall product but I don’t like the one hit per box. Its a huge risk. Tried it last year and my one hit was a redemption. And not only a redemption..a redemption of Jerrel Jernigan.

I think this years Prime Sigs looks even better than last year! Love the prime jersey autos this year and of course I ALWAYS love on-card autos!
