Flawless vs Immaculate

[angpin]

I'm sure you've all seen pictures from the upcoming release from panini of Flawless and a few teasers from Immaculate. Panini are now starting to release more pictures of Immaculate:

For me it's Immaculate because of the "lure of the Logoman", but I'd be interested to hear others thoughts.

Definitely Immaculate all the way, the design is Paninis best so far and rivals Ultimate and Exquisite Collection

It makes the Flawless design look lazy in comparison

Imagine having New Orleans if that was a group break

PS. Immaculate are a far more interesting design IMO

Much better card design, no stupid gemstone gimmick, well under half the price. Simple decision for me.

All those Hornets cards have me salivating!

If only i could afford more than one box

And Panini hasn't really shown us the multiple logoman cards yet, nor a checklist, personally I can't wait for Immaculate

reminds me so much of UD Ultimate! love the design but got a gut feeling that it will be a hit or miss product like so much of Panini's other stuff.

and what basketball product is not hit or miss. This ceased to be a hobby and became gambling when Exquisite was first released. Every one buy packs, boxes and cases hoping for that big hit.
As they did not say in Field of Dreams..offer it in a pack of cards and they will buy...but they would've if the movie had been about basketball and not baseball

Did anyone else see that the "Diamonds and Emeralds", the so called flawless part of said product can be bought for a snip?

Agreed about the gambling part, but there are some products such as crusade where you don't fork out a large amount and you still get some "descent" hits.

Unless you get a gold or a Kobe, Durant or Kyrie auto it is still hit and miss to me

Immaculate looks far better than Flawless.

I've pulled out of all the mojobreak slots I had in Flawless and put them into Immaculate breaks. I still have the 3 spots in the OGB Flawless case 1, but I think that'll be it.

My nodd would be for Immaculate over Flawless. The big pull in Flawless would be the only NBA approved genuine RC card of Lillard with an auto on it.
