Panini introduces a new product with Plates And Patches. The main set contains 235 cards. That is spliced with 100 veteran base, 100 autographed rookies and 35 encased RPS Rookie Signatures (relics are from the NFL Rookie Photo Shoot). The parallels of the base and rookies are called Infinity and break down over three colors, silver, gold and platinum.

Plates And Patches can be misleading when opening a box. On the surface, you may feel you are going to get one or the other (perhaps both) in the box. But it is not the case, nor should it be. When you open a box, the first card you see is encased. It gives the feel of a box topper or a bonus. Then you open the mini box to open your pack.

The base cards feature the player off-set to the right on a vertical design. To the left of the photo is the player's position, team and team logo (as well as a rookie designation if needed). The design was well-thought out and is catchy as well as eye appealing. Then the real fun begins as each box contains 2 autographs and 1 relic (not counting the encased card). By cutting out the unnecessary wrapping and keeping it simplistic, you will find enjoyment in each box. However, it does lose value with 100 rookie auto subjects in the main set. But that's not enough to deter many from picking up multiple boxes even with a somewhat steep price.

Once again, I'd like to thank our wonderful sponsors at Panini for giving us the opportunity to open and review this release. For more information on all their products, visit them at www.paniniamerica.net.
