The ever-expanding slate of Panini Baseball products extends
to prospecting on a premium level with an easier per box commitment with 2012 Panini
Signature Series Baseball. At 3 hits
and a total of 6 cards per box, this is clearly intended for a fast break with
a reasonable amount of risk, but there is plenty of opportunity for some really
nice pulls.
Signature Series Baseball falls into our premium cards
category. Each box contains 6
cards with 3 Autograph cards per box.
Here are the cards from our box.
Base Set
Jose Altuve, front and back
Nelson Cruz, Chase Utley
The Hits
Rated Rookie Game Ball Autographs
Joe Benson Auto #/299, Tim Federowicz Auto #/299
MLBPA Logo Signatures
Drew Pomeranz Auto #/299
Overall Look
Panini has chosen to accentuate the positive of a MLBPA and Hall of Fame licenses, eliminate the
negative of not having the MLB
license that would allow the use of team names and logos. Using bold portraits, the cards come of
looking good, but the hit cards are where this product excels, as it should/
Quality and Variety of Players
While there is a 100-card commons base set with an
additional rookies for the base set, expectation should be set to pull prospecting
cards.
Do the Hits satisfy?
If you pull one of the big hits, most definitely. Signature
Series is still a roll the dice because of its 3 hit, 6card setup, some boxes
will still a be a bust, but there are enough mid level hits to spread the risk
and is in line with expectations for a premium card release.
Will you keep coming back for more?
The real advantage here is the modest price point, giving
collectors who are normally one and done a chance to make multiple purchases
without breaking the bank.
Rating
4 out of 5
2012 Panini Signature Series Baseball takes it place within
the slate of baseball releases and holds its own.
