The big difference between Panini Parallel's and UD Inserts

I'm just glad I don't try to collect all the parallels, just need the base card for each subset/base set. Shouldn't be that hard to track down. Are all the jersey parallels different (like the amount of swatches and what not ? ). Thanks

There are different swatches & designs for the memorabilia parallels, yes.

The Fabric of the Game series, in addition to your basic square swatch, also has parallels with the team name (i.e. "HABS"), jersey number (i.e. "31"), as well as patch and auto-patch variations of each.

The base parallels that have memorabilia also have different swatch windows. I've seen them with varying 1- and 2-piece designs.

This makes me glad Minnesota doesn't sell off their jerseys. I have 13 new Latendresse cards in Certified(3 1/1's), which is welcome, but some guys with 40+ copies of what amounts to the same card with different foil......that would be annoying.

It's made much easier for me in this set because of the unique jersey they've got for Price in his cards.

I haven't seen any - what'd they use?

My buddy and I bought a total of 5 boxes at the LCS today, and luckily had split on the "hot box" that had the red parallels/999 replacing the regular base cards. I think it's actually nice that they have such an extensive set of numbered cards, because they're not going to be expensive, and should be easy enough to find. It may be a pain to some to try and find all of the layers of parallels for a single player, but in the same breath, isn't that the fun of it all? And since they shouldn't be overly pricey given the quantity, that makes it that much more enjoyable to me anyway.

The cards look good though, and the swatches are nice as well. Good to see another company using the seams for swatch cards too, I've always liked how ITG has done that and now Panini offers them as well.

I love all those parallels to chase. It's what collecting is all about. The great thing is that the parallels are easy to identify. I can't stand those Pacific parallels where the only thing that's different is the color of the logo. It's damn near impossible to tell the difference between gold and copper unless both are in your hands. Good job by Panini

Yes Panini did a good job with these parallels by have big numbering on the back and clear labelling on the cards. Platinum Red, Mirror Red, Platinum Blue, Mirror Blue, etc

Very well set up though maybe too many.
