Thank You Panini

[Jonathan627]

I've been a harsh critic of Panini as of late but I must send my thanks out for my awesome mailday today. I got my first Kobe Bryant Autograph today. I cracked a $20 2010-11 Donruss Blaster from Target back in January and pulled this redemption. I thought I wouldn't get it until at least next year but low and behold less than 4 months later I got it!! I'm super stoked, huge Kobe fan. What's even better is it's an ON-CARD auto and it's got this neat little "24" sticker on the back. I love it!

I bow before you man, that card is beautiful, and you pulled it from a blaster to boot, congrats, and way to go panini.

I think this is the first good thing I have read about panini on this entire forum!

Thats because all you ever hear is the bad. I submitted a redemption and had it in my hands within a month. Submitted another redemption for the same player a month later, and still haven't gotten any word on it.

There is good reason...

I'm STILL waiting on a Flynn Timeless Treasures RC auto (despite them having been live for quite a while now) and having randomly logged in a while ago to check on the status I found that they'd lost all my address information! I warned many others and about 80% said there info was gone too. The other gripe is that they redeem (or even have live in boxes) autos of players for their new stuff, without clearing the old redemptions first. It's not good enough.

That being said, the big players like Kobe and Durant they do well on - and you've done well with that nice card.

Wicked card mate. Well done Panini!!!

Good to see you got your redemption and most importantly gave Panini credit when they deserve. Most people would bite their lip and wait for the next bad thing to happen before they said anything. Only posting and reading the bad experiences has no other effect but to add to the negative opinions. None of these companies are perfect but this hobby ain't life sustaining either........ Or is it?
