Hockey Card Trailers: 12/13 Panini Prime

I know it's a little late, but better late then never! So a few months ago I was astonished when I saw some preview pictures of cards in 12/13 Panini Prime. I am going to add a pro's and con's list to soem of my reviews. I hope I can get some more boxes in soon. Before I get them I thought i'd right a little bit about some new products that are just coming. This is the time of year where new sports cards come out. So for the next few weeks this site is going to busy so keep on looking on. So as we were talking I decided I was going to do a pro's and con's list. So heres mine for Prime:

Pro's:

Really cool design
Added some things such as Prime Skates, Prime Laces, and Prime Gloves
The base design is very sleek
Prime Coverage are very nice, also they have everything in one

Con's:

Hard to get cool hits such as Prime Skates, Prime Laces, and Prime Gloves

Thats the only Con I have. Starting with the pro's, "Really cool design" for almost every single card in this set. let's start with the base The base design is sleek and more of a stealth look. Onto the hits, The All-Star Selections Signatures have a variety of great players with a really cool design. The Authentics can get really fancy. Look down and see a picture. The color logo picture, I especially liked a lot. Just that big patch gets me pumped to see more. Color Numbers are sort of the same except it has the players numbers on them. There are Prime Laces and Gloves. That is amazing! I really want an Alex Ovechkin Prime Laces. Then comes Seems Incredible well it is in INCREDIBLE! It also comes with one Dominion bonus pack per each box.

Hockey Card Reviews: 13/14 Panini Score Jumbo Pack and a few base cards

Yesterday, I went to a local sports card shop and picked up a Jumbo Pack of 13/14 Score Hockey, 12/13 Upper Deck SP Authentic, 12/13 Upper Deck Black Diamond and a few base cards of 13/14 Panini Score Hockey. I felt the pack from the side and thought that I had a Team 8’s Jersey Card. I shuffled through all the cards until I found the inserts. First came a few gold parallels. I was hoping for a black parallel, but I never found one. Then came the Hot Rookies which by the way were amazing. First came a Nathan Beaulieu Hot Rookies. Which was followed by 3 more Hot Rookies which were of Beau Bennett, Jonathan Huberdeau and Stefan Matteau. Getting a Stefan Matteau card was nice. Then came the hit of the pack which was an autograph of Tyson Barrie. The autograph on a sticker and was a Score Signatures. Moving onto the inserts, I got a gold Team Leaders and a Regular Team Leaders (check out the pictures to see the difference). I was hoping for a Team Score insert or a Future Franchise insert, but I am still happy of what I got. Besides I got great base cards such as Jakob Silferberg, Jordie Benn, Jay McClement, Jordan Nolan, and a Martin Erat on the Capitals. Let’s see some pictures but of course first the rating: 8/10.

Hockey Cards Trailer: 13/14 Panini Score Hockey

I have not written one of these trailers in along time. So, let’s get right into the product. Score has been a series over the past years. The base design of score has been my favorite base design. Let me know what you think about the base card design. 13/14 score retail version just came out recently. The Jumbo box for 13/14 Score has yet to come out. The jumbo box is expected to come out on July 24th which is in 3 days.

As usual we start with the box. The box is very different from the 12/13 score hockey box. It looks very similar to the 2013 Football score box. I think this box is cooler then the 12/13 score box. This box is flat and has 36 packs in it. It’s interesting that a little box like this can fit 36 packs with 12 cards inside them. Well, anyway let’s move on.

Onto the base we see a very similar design also to 2013 football score. So far two things in this set look exactly like 2013 Football score. Anyway score is very nice. I love how the score symbol on the bottom of the card is silver. The colors go very well together. Score has a very clean and mature look to it’s base. The back side is very simple. Again just like Football. Check out my other review on 2013 score football to see the differences.

As usual score has an insert called Hot Rookies. This years and last years hot rookies blew me away with the design. In this years hot rookies, I love the design. Especially the part on the bottom where it’s black then the black fades away into the picture of the player. In the regular box, not the jumbo box you get an average of 18 Hot Rookies per regular box. There are many more inserts in this years set as shown down below.

Future Team

The Future Franchise.
This card is the telling of future.
You may think that the Oilers stink, but once
all of there prospects become older and get better
they will have an outstanding team.

Team Leaders.
This is a new insert that I really love.

Netcam

The Franchise

A product made always must have hits. So let’s see the score hits. The first hit I want to talk about is the eye popping Hot Rookies Autographs. The hot rookies autograph look nothing like the insert “hot rookies”. The part I mostly love about it is that the players face is faded in the background as you see up top. Now, let’s move onto the score signatures. Last year score took a big leap on putting more signatures into packs. let year I opened about 30 packs of score and found two autographs inside. The Score Signatures has a very nice touch to it as you see down below.

Hockey Cards Preview: 13/14 Panini Prizm

Manufacturer: Panini
Release Date: late September

The great product, 12/13 Rookie Anthology had a 12/13 Prizm bonus pack in every box. I’ve opened two packs of Prizm and got two hits. The stellar Prizm is taking a step further going into a single product (not just a bonus). Let’s start with the base. The base is very similar to last years base. I love how on the left side there is meshing only at the top and on the right side the meshing is only at the bottom. The base set includes superstar players such as Steven Stamkos. Prizm is a type of card that is very cool. Now let’s move on to the parallels. As usual Prizm has multi-color parallels such orange die-cut Prizms numbered to /50, gold Prizms numbered to /10 and Black Prizms (which I hope to get) numbered 1/1. Next is the hits. There are about two Prizm signatures per box and 20 packs per box. The only thing I don’t like about Prizm is that there is only two hits, but otherwise it’s awesome. Prizm Signatures feature star players like Jonathan Huberdeau and Jonathan Toews. Let’s see pictures (all of the pictures taken were from paniniamerica.wordpress.com).

Football Card Reviews: 2013 Panini Score 3 Pack Review

These are my first packs I opened of football in a long time. Well, as these packs were good I hope to get more football in the future. I used to collect Football way more often, but I got carried away into hockey and basketball. So anyway I got these packs and opened them. In the first pack I got Ryan Tannehill base along with four inserts which were an Airmail of Russell Wilson, a rookie of Cornellius Carradine, a Future Franchise of Peyton Manning, and a Future Franchise of Julio Jones. In the second pack I thought I got a hit, but I didn't. I opened up the second pack and got a Joe Flacco base and a Colin Kaepernick base along with an Airmail of Tom Brady, a rookie of Xavier Rhode, a Future Franchise of Calvin Johnson, and a J.J. Watt Future Franchise. The last but not least pack just touched my hands. I slowly ripped it open. In it I got Vernon Davis base and a Marshawn Lynch base. There were also inserts in the pack which were an Airmail of Eli Manning, a rookie of Robert Woods, a Maurice Jones Future Franchise, and a Ryan Tannehill Future Franchise. Let’s see the cards:

Hockey Cards Review: 12/13 Panini Hockey Rookie Anthology

Opening up my second box of Rookie Anthology was really exciting. I thought to myself should I open the box the day I got or wait a few days. Well, I decided to wait a few days. From my past Rookie Anthology break, I knew this had to be a great product. I waited a few days and then yesterday came the day that I should open it.

I got the box put it on my table and looked at it for a few seconds. I got my scissors and cut open the plastic. I opened the box and saw the set up. There was a Prizm bonus pack laying there for me to open. I pushed the box to the side got out the Prizm bonus pack and opened it. The last time I opened the Prizm bonus pack, I got a hit (Ryan Hamilton Rookie Autograph.) I was hoping for a hit in this one as well. I opened it. I got a Sean Couturtier base then came a turned upside down Jussi Rynnas rookie autograph. It was shinier then normal Prizm cards. The thing I was really for in a Prizm pack was a Lava Flow insert card.

After I opened the Prizm bonus pack, I got all the packs out. The packs are very basic. They have a touch of red and cool font. I put 5 packs side to side from each other. There are 10 packs per box and you are expected to get as many hits from 4-8 (including the Prizm bonus pack.) Last box I got 7 hits. I grabbed the first pack and opened it. The first card of the box was a Brandon Sutter base on the Pittsburgh Penguins. The next card was a Stan Mikita Legacies inset which I thought was a hit. The rest of the first pack was just base. I felt the next pack which felt really thick. I was thinking it was my Rookie Treasures or another one of those really thick Towering Defenders. Well, it was my Rookie Treasures. I was hoping for a better player, but I was fine getting a Michael Hutchinson. I forgot to tell the box # which was ...67. I was hoping for a Silhouette. I touched the third pack and opened it. In the third pack I got a Donruss Elite Rookie of Matt Hunwick. I quickly opened the fourth pack and got a Great Outdoors insert of Henrik Zetterberg numbered to /500. The last pack on the left side was the fifth. I ripped it open. I pulled a Hart Contenders of Steven Stamkos numbered to /999. The next card was the biggest hit of the box. It was a Game-Worn Gear red jersey card of Pavel Datsyuk. I love the Game-Worn Gear hits because you can get all-star players like Steven Stamkos (which I got.)

We opened half of the packs now. I opened the sixth pack very quickly. I pulled the second biggest hit of the box which was a Luxury Suite jersey card/autograph of Shawn Hunwick. This hit was probably the coolest of the box. The seventh pack was not lucky as I got just base. Moving on to the eighth pack now. I pulled a white jersey card of Ben Eager which was a Game-Worn Gear. The only thing I hate about the Game-Worn Gear is that you will probably get a one-color jersey card. The ninth pack was the second last pack. I pulled two inserts in this one as I got a Jason Zucker shiny Donruss Elite Rookie. The next insert was the second best insert which was a Sergei Bobrovsky Vezina Contenders. The last pack I opened I got a Royal Lineage for the Calgary Flames of Jarome Iginla, Alex Tanguay and a Matt Stajan. It was two colors. So that was the box as I got 6 hits. My rating for the box is 6.5/10. Let's see some Pictures:
