Prizm Ice Blue 1/1s?

[Sharky94]

I found out about the thing 2 days ago from Matt, who told me my player was still available. I went on the eBay and won 500 pts for 50 bucks to cover it, of course the seller wouldn't scan me the code, he HAD to mail it he said, and this morning my guy is gone. If I do see it up on eBay for the $200 that the rest of them are "selling" for then I will wish the owner of the card a long and happy relationship with it.

I didn't even know Panini HAD a rewards program because I don't buy anything but hockey cards. Sounds kinda stupid that they would have a program like that and only support it in some of their products. Guess they had no trouble selling hockey cards, I guess.

If anyone sees Hertl or Backstrom anywhere, let me know...

I have 650 pts incoming sooner or later, which are completely useless to me now. I'll see what's left and approach it the Cunnuc way. I'm very sad, but not at all surprised.

I would buy 400 off of you lol

And I would be interested in the other 250... lol

There is already a thread about this. To sum things up, all of these 1/1 cards were available exclusively on Panini Website and could be purchased exclusively using Panini Reward points or whatever they're called. How do you get these points? I'm not too sure about that... it seems thought that us hockey collectors never received Panini Reward Points. Maybe they were only available when purchasing other sports cards. Likely from purchasing boxes/cases but I don't know much more than that. I never bothered to look it up because I'm too disgusted by the whole thing.

I think one person purchased 57+ of these cards and another purchased 51 of these all in one go. I have only come across a single 1/1 on the secondary market.

Money. I don't know how regularly the cards are distributed in football/basketball products, but obviously the guys that have cornered the market have opened a ton of product to get those points--or have access to people who do that are just handing over the tickets to them.

Some of those 1/1's can be had for fairly cheap on the points scale - there's an Andrei Markov for 250 I think. But still, that's a lot of redemption points being cashed in at once to get them all at once.

Wow the one seller sold a Desharnais for $150. Could have bought a mid grade 71 OPC Lafleur for that price.

I've got Evander Kane, Dustin Byfuglien, and Dion Phaneuf coming in!

Started buying points when I saw Zetterberg and Howard were still left a week ago (already missed Dekeyser at that point) but my points came in to late (got them Friday). Only Wing left I believe is Kindl and I'll pass on that so picked 3 I believe I can sell. Figure if I can't get a nice PC card out of the program I might as well try and make some money off it and buy a nice PC card.

I was interested in the Cleary but that is gone now too. There is no way with points going for around $20.00-$40.00 for 250 points, that I am going to pay more than that for a Prizm 1/1 for a common player.

I saw my PC guy in Gelinas is on ebay for $300. I wouldn't even offer him 10% of that for a promo "1/1"

you and me both. I collect gelinas too. that is just overkill

[Drewk86a]

If I understand this right, store owners got points for selling Panini products. Those points could be redeemed for a 1/1 (they choose the card from what is available)

I can't pay over $100 for something a dealer got for free.
