Here's what I pulled in our box of 2010 Panini Plates & Patches.
Our autograph pulls were all rookie autos. In our box we pulled base autos of Carlton Mitchell and Patrick Robinson. The base rookie autos have the same design of the common set with a clear sticker auto in the left hand corner of the card.
The best hit of the box was actually the box topper from our box. Our autographed prime memorabilia rookie auto was Rob Gronkowski. The prime auto comes encased in a magnetic card holder with a Panini sticker to across the top of the one touch holder. Our pull certainly did not disappoint as you can see from the scan above the card features a trapped sticker autograph below a sick three color patch that includes multiple seams and lots of stitching. It definitely stands out as of one the nicest patches I’ve pulled to date.
Final Thoughts on 2010 Panini Plates & Patches Football;
2010 Panini Plates and Patches takes one of Panini’s most popular insert subsets and turns it in to what is sure to be a huge hit with football collectors. While the SRP of $150 would place this the higher-end releases. Boxes can be found in the $130 range on-line and at some local shops. This release will be ideal for collectors that are chasing the big hit or have little to no use for base cards. When looking at what the product delivers in terms of hits I’d say it’s priced in line with other premium sets. The upside is the break itself. It starts with a beautiful sealed black box, once the seal is broken your box topper awaits. The topper in our box was outstanding and definitely had the feel of a high end release. Once the topper was removed it was on the hand packed pack of cards. Something about opening a hand packed box just seems to add to the excitement.
The overall design of the release is excellent and while our pulls weren’t huge the break experience was very enjoyable. We pulled quality cards all the way through, with the Gronkowski being our top pull. The only real downside to this release would be the sticker autos over hard sign cards and the lack of color on our game used pull. That being said I’m sure if every pull was a multi-colored patch and the autographs were all on card it would have an adverse effect on the cost per box. With that said I think Panini delivers a well priced product with a good chance to pull something incredible for the cost. While I personally don’t open that many higher end releases I could see another box of Plates and Patches being opened in the near future. As a big fan of the Gridiron Gear Plates and Patches subset I would have to say that Panini did one of our favorite subsets proud by creating this release.
