Panini Points cards?

[Fido]

I know in the box break scene getting Panini Points cards are a negative as they usually take the place of a hit in the box. But in general do you like getting these? I just hit a 1500 point card and picked up some nice low numbered or patch cards for my Jazz collection. I'd love to pick more up in trade. Just wondering what others think of these.

I do not like them out of principal because they shouldn't be replacing a hit in a box and they certainly shouldn't be charging you a shipping fee to redeem them. But with that being said I would probably prefer to pull a higher point one of these out of a box than most of the autographs and game used cards that Panini makes. At least from the online database you can pick something nice YOU WANT instead of just a random hit.
