Design - 4.5/5
Fun - 4/5

Overall - 21.25/25 (85%)

Pros:
On-card Rookie Autos available
Almost a complete base set
Most boxes yield at least one additional auto
Horizontal card design (stands out from vertical norm)

Cons:
Very low amount of numbered parallels/inserts
Would increase value by subbing 2 missing base for 2 of the inserts
High amount of autograph subjects

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, you can visit them today at www.paniniamerica.net.

Sweet hit on the Ingram,I think Panini could also capitalize on numbering their shortprint rc auto's as no one likes to wait to see exactly what they have.Nice review Tony.
