    So I bought one of those fifty dollar 2016 Contenders boxes from Target for luckily $20.

    They mismarked, my good fortune and loss at the same time.

    I pulled a couple inserts of no real mention and not a single base rookie.

    how much are they supposed to go for if they were mistakenly marked at 20?

    EDIT: sorry just saw your title, $50 ouch that doesnt seem worth the price.

    Those base "jersey" cards are essentially just an insert card, no auto, does not seem even close to being worth a $50 price tag!

    I am thinking it isn't even worth it at $20!

    You know the product is bad when you get it for more than 50% off and it still is a pretty crappy break

    I've bought several different boxes of football cards this season and not been impressed by any of them. Hope they have some better looking cards next year.

    I saw those at Walmart last week while searching for old Topps Chrome boxes, which they had two of still a few weeks back. Along with Absolute and Prestige.

    The three brands I used to love to collect, although it still seems weird to see Contenders in a retail store like Target or Walmart.

    I passed on all of it. With 5 year redemptions (Julio's Contenders), and points, Panini has broken the habit for me at places like Target and Walmart. I still look but now I walk out without any cards, and that used to NEVER happen. I'd buy anything football, back in the day.

    Thanks for the reminder.

    Purchase one of the Contenders $50 boxes w/2 jerseys and an auto per box on average. Also got 2 crappy jerseys and a 150 pt card. Are there actually any autos in the boxes????
