Panini America’s 30th Anniversary edition of 2019 Score Football

And AGAIN we get another printing of the 1989 Score set! Look I love that design but they are stuffing it into products every single year! How about a 20th anniversary of 1999 score? Or maybe make something distinctive about 2019 Score so that 2049 Score can have a 30th anniversary edition.

arrives in hobby shops across North America on Wednesday

Too bad for the rest of the collecting world outside of North America.

boasting

Boasting, noun. Excessively proud and self-satisfied talk about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities.

jumbo packs (40 cards)

Another, better way to write this that flows better is "40 card jumbo packs". Let's leave the parentheses out of it.

and, perhaps more importantly,

I'M WAITING WITH BATED BREATH!!!

jumbo potential.

HAHAHAHA, oh Tracy. The #dadjokes never get tiresome.....

The first NFL Rookie Cards of the 2019 season

To be clear, Panini doesn't consider Prizm Draft Picks or Contenders Draft Picks to be products that contain NFL rookie cards. I hope Beckett gets the memo and tags cards accordingly.

will drive intense interest in the product

Way to dunk all over your Draft Picks products Hackler.

but the milestone edition

Yes, we are revisiting the same 1989 milestone that collectors have seen since 1994. It's okay Panini, sets are allowed to have.... wait for it.... MULTIPLE milestones!

also includes original BuyBacks

buybacks of other, better loved sets not made by Panini

of landmark Score cards

Okay, pump the brakes booster seat. This is Score we are talking about. Know for big checklists and low priced packs.

from the past (including autograph versions)

Panini lives for the past, there is no future in Panini's product offerings. Only buybacks and buy buybacks, copy/pasted designs, and cheap cash grabs on collectors' nostalgia.

rare 3oth Anniversary parallels

Rare because of arbitrary use of a different color ink and a stamped serial number.

fantastic action photography

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I mean, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

and a spectacular throwback design.

It's nice for Panini to throw a bone to the set designers of Score and Pinnacle for all their hard work 30 years ago.

On average, each jumbo hobby box of 2019 Score Football (40 cards per pack, 10 packs per box, 12 boxes per case) will deliver four autographs and one foil-stamped BuyBack and a bevy of RCs, inserts and parallels

I liked it better when there used to be specific odds for insert cards. Now the assumption is that they are all relatively the same odds and really aren't anything special. Basically, they are subsets of the main set with a different numbering scheme rather than something interesting to go for.

Also, BEVY!!!

oh my, so revealing! Keep it PG Hackler!!

we take a deep dive

PG!!!

into the splendor

Splendor, Noun. A great brightness or luster. Brilliancy, Magnificence, Pomp.

HAHAHAHAHHAHA, the splendor of Score, HAHAHAHA!!!! I had no idea this post was going to be part of a comedy routine! Side splitting, knee slapping good times!




It's so sad that Panini can't do anything else with the Score brand other than copy/paste designs made by another company 30 years ago. It would be neato to see Score evolve into something new that delights collectors, offers something different than other Panini SKUs, and, I don't know, not be 1989 Score.

HAHA! Another awesome review!

Yeah, I don't get Panini's fascination with 89 Score.

I bought those at gas station back in the day. Reminiscing about a dingy gas station in Rawlings Wyoming is not what I want to do when I open a pack of cards.

It was a neat set, and yeah, the first Score football, but it was hardly as legendary as Panini is making it out to be.

I think these "buybacks" are going to be more of the old stock they have been holding over, like all the Emmanuel Sanders cards in this years Honors. All excess cards that Panini held back for whatever reason. Damage replacements, whatever.

Panini is essentially flooding the market with all their old stuff now. Getting rid of it by re-branding it in new products, and calling it unique and special.



That being said, I am likely to pick up one box of this at a Target when shopping for other stuff. Score is at least a cheap product and you can get a few decent rookie cards in a blaster. I Usually do pretty good on the one hit too. In 2014 I got a Peyton Manning Artists Proof #/35. But my 18 blaster had nothing special in it. A few decent rookies. that's it.

Pretty happy with that 14 box though.

I also agree with going back to odds, rather than the promised hits per box.

One of those "hits" is very likely to be either a redemption card, or even more likely a Points card. I guess it's becoming more and more acceptable for those to be considered hits.

Shame Panini is pulling this over on the hobby.......

I do not ever want to pull another points card. Period.


Ya know, when I read a Panini release, I feel I am watching a commercial for FlexGlue. Which is, wait for it....... GLUE.

Really special, huh?

I'm glad that it is displayed as "quality" control. I have over 50 items out for replacement.... very disappointing and costly.
