2013 Panini Totally Certified Football NFL Trading Cards Box Break Recap And Review

Totally Certified Football has gone through some big changes.  Gone are the HRX video cards, which were the major hits.  Gone is the whole card color for parallels, now going with a stylized edge coloring.   Gone are the die-cut Rookie overlay in the materials opening for the Freshman Fabric autographs memorabilia cards, now its just a simple opening.  What remains is foil etching and the chance of pulling some nice big name autographs mostly in the Stitches in Time.  Other hits can be found in what is new about Totally Certified, a great insert set called Thanksgiving Day. Even with the cuts and changes to the set, 2013 Totally Certified Football retains its desirability.

Totally Certified Football falls into our premium cards category. Each hobby box contains 6-5 card packs. Each pack contains 1 rookie or parallel and 1 autograph or memorabilia card.

2013-14 Panini Totally Certified Basketball NBA Trading Cards Box Break Recap And Review

Totally Certified Basketball has gone through some big changes.  Gone are the HRX video cards, which were the major hits.  Gone is the whole card color for parallels, now going with a more subtitle center color burst.   Gone are the on-card Rookie autographs, now in sticker form.  What remains is foil etching, a simple set configuration and the chance of pulling some nice big name autographs.  In many ways Totally Certified feels a little stripped down this year, almost closer to what you might find in Prizm.  With the major selling points being green parallels and acetate signatures, Panini will have to brainstorm to return some of the excitement to Totally Certified Basketball if it expects to regain some of its former glory.

Totally Certified Basketball falls into our premium cards category. Each hobby box contains 6-5 card packs. Each box contains 3 autographs and 3 memorabilia cards.

Anyone who follows this blog knows that Absolute tends to be a good break for me.  Going in I knew this could be a rough break as things have returned to normal after two years of way above average rookie classes dominated the NFL.  While instant rip and flip values might not be on par with 2011 and 2012, what remains is a really nice base set, a cool new insert set and some great hits to pull making 2013 Panini Absolute Football another solid choice for Football card collectors.

Panini Absolute Football falls squarely into our premium cards category.  Each box contains four pillow packs with 4 cards per pack. Each master box contains four Autograph or Memorabilia cards with at least two autographs.
