With Panini now having the lone NBA trading card license, one of the things many collectors including myself were excited about was the prospect of seeing NBA stars within some of the most well known trading card brands including Studio, Certified, Limited and today’s topic – Rookies & Stars. The first product to feature their new spokesperson Kobe Bryant on the packaging, 2009/10 Panini Rookies & Stars offers collectors a box with 24-packs in the $75 to $80 range.
On average, a box should supply a combination of four autographed or memorabilia cards, plenty of rookies and scads of parallels, enough to drive a collector mad trying collect them all or realizing there’s no chance of collating some of the limited edition, sequentially numbered collectibles without getting a second mortgage on their house.
Read the rest.
The conflict of interests surrounding the once respected Hobby giant have grown to such proportion that they can no longer be ignored. From arbitrary card pricing to subjective card grading, sub-par editorial, manufacturer collusion, glorified product reviews and near plagiarism, this blatant disregard for the collector's best interests in the name of the almighty dollar MUST end. It is the goal of this blog to be the true VOICE of the COLLECTOR.
