Contenders!!

[ekalb]

This looks to be a very cool set. Cannot wait for the case break by Al.

The Cracked Ice look really nice. Hopefully Miles Burris is in this set...

They look good. Where do you buy from normally?

 

[ekalb]

Boxes I normally get from Dave and Adams. Good prices and really quick shipping.

 

[dAvaro]

Cool. I think i may buy some when I'm in L.A next week but don't know what customs will be like coming back with boxes of cards. Is that www.dacardworld.com

 

[ekalb]

I couldn't see customs being too worried. You can purchase them online and get them delivered easy enough. Plus they are not some kind of contraband (they are only cardboard!) and just like any other gift shopping. If anything they could effect your baggage weight limits. May need a sepearte suitcase for the boxes of cards..

 

[dAvaro]

I am contemplating that and for fishing gear too...

 

[Rusty Nail]

Absolutely love contenders, 6 autos per box, awesome

Not a fan of the Rookie Tickets being sticker autos

35 on card, 100 stickers. Guess its not that bad.

Another Bernard Pierce redemption no doubt!!!

 

[ekalb]

I don't like Stickers either, but I would prefer sticker autos over redemptions any day!

 

[ekalb]

Woohoo, another set with Miles Burris!!! Doesn't look like it's an autograph though, just a base RC.
Plus Rod Streater and Rhett Ellison.

Checklist http://sportscardradio.com/sports-c...434-2012-panini-contenders-football-checklist

There is a better checklist on Panini's site now too.

Also Neil, a couple extra base RC's in this set too: WR Deonte Thompson (never heard of him!) and K Justin Tucker.

 

[Muzza]

Been waiting for a checklist for weeks.
I haven't been taken by some of the more recent releases - Crown Royale, Black, Prizm but these look so good. I'm in for sure!!!

Mmmmm not bad, but not a whole lot different from past years Contenders... MVP cards look neat though....Just hope those die cuts are protected a little more than those is Strata !

Cracked Ice ??? Pro Set did that one exactly 20 years ago...

God those look awesome!! I believe these are to mark the 20th anniversary of the Cracked Ice set. On a sidenote, I have been keeping an eye out for old school 90's Tim Brown inserts recently. Some of those old school inserts are so damn nice!

Also, I'm not sure if he has featured elsewhere, but Darly Richardson is featured in Contenders with a base RC also.

Wondering when they were going to get around to including him in a set...thanks for the heads up !
