2012 Gridiron (Again!!)

[Rusty Nail]

Couldn't resist so here goes -

Tim Benford & Marvin McNutt Rookie Autos 138 & 163/ 499
Coby Fleener Gridiron Gems Trio 8/199
Nick Foles Gridiron Gems Auto 123/299

Little disappointing especially as there is a Peyton Manning Gold X with a fair bit of damage along with another X insert with exactly the same dings yet every other card is mint. May be a strongly worded email to Panini for what its worth

Man those are chewed to pieces! Big hit on the Foles Neil, his stuff is on fire at the moment

Surely they would have to replace those mangled cards??? Never seen anything like that before.
Two nice hits of Rookies that have really come good.
Gotta say though, I have never been a big fan of the "on jersey" auto. Then again, stickers are mostly the other option, but we're stuck with those. .............

Thanks guys, looks like Panini will only replace if less than a year old!! Been on the website and gridiron doesn't come up as being one still available

 

[Muzza]

Boo Panini.
How can they justify that?
After a year a card is liable to start crushing itself in the packet???? And they aren't responsible for that?

 

[ekalb]

I think they probably would have if the cards were considered the "hits". At least I hope they would!

 

[Rusty Nail]

Just weird that it is both X inserts obviously from different packs with exactly the same damage

 

[RedskinsFan]

Nice hit on the foles for sure! Spewing about the damaged cards. There should be no time limit on UN opened boxes in regards to damage

 

[ekalb]

Yeah to have the same damage on both cards is really weird. Are they sequentially numbered?
