While I may knock some of Panini’s products for cut and paste design, they’re at least nominally different in scope and design. There’s one, however, that I really wonder about: Rookies & Stars Longevity. Here’s the thing: Longevity is already the name of the parallel series in Panini’s Rookie & Stars product, and then there’s the retail-specific Longevity product. Previously the base cards at least were marked in some way …Read the Rest

Field Level Preview: 2010 Absolute Memorabilia Football
August 30, 2010
Football
Absolute Memorabilia football has always been one of those products that I’ve had a love/hate relationship with. While they come out with some really nice looking cards, it’s also full of cards that really shouldn’t be showing up in a $35-40 pack of cards with a per-card price of nearly …Read the Rest

At the end of September Panini will bring the first product of their second year of NBA cards, Panini Prestige. As with many brands which carry over multiple sports, much of the card design will be the same as 2010 Prestige Football that was released a few months ago although …Read the Rest
Field Level Preview: 2010 Panini Threads Football
August 22, 2010
Football
When Donruss Threads was released in 2006, I thought it was a very solid product and bought quite a bit of it, even at retail. The design was very clean and appealing and I liked most of the inserts. Granted, this was before I got used to how Donruss (and …Read the Rest

For the fourth year running, Panini is putting out Donruss Elite Extra Edition. While earlier this year it seemed like Upper Deck had an exclusive license with the CLC, it looks like Panini has pulled out a license from them for this product, as it features players in their college …Read the Rest
Field Level Preview: 2010-11 Certified Hockey
August 14, 2010
Hockey
When Panini landed the NHL/NHLPA license to produce hockey cards earlier this year, I admit I was of two minds. Part of me was afraid Panini would do the same thing with hockey that they’re currently doing with football and basketball: Products that have no real pizzaz, tons of inserts …Read the Rest
Field Level Preview: 2010 Panini Epix Football
August 11, 2010
Football
Recently, Panini announced that they were creating a new brand, apparently to replace Gridiron Gear, and they were going to use the Epix name to do so. For those of us unfamiliar with product history, Epix was a series of inserts in Donruss/Playoff products from the late 90s through 2005. …Read the Rest
