Sport: Basketball
Product: 2013-14 Panini Intrigue Basketball Case
Break Date: December 18, 2015
Hit Breakdown: Two autographs and two jersey cards
Summary: Anyone who follows what I post with any regularity (and let's face it - that should be all of y'all, because I'm awesome) knows I love Intrigue. So, with some gift cards, checks, and other random $$ built up, I pulled the trigger on a case...my first case ever, so why not Intrigue?
So, with ten boxes in hand, I got to crackin'. I'm not going to go box by box, because that would take forever. Overall, I'd say the jury is still out.
Reason for that? I was shorted two hits - two autos at that. The copy on the box says it's four hits – four autographs or memorabilia – per box. It doesn't say "on average" or any other vague loophole-esque language. I've opened a ton of this product, and it's always two autos and two jersey cards. So, to be shorted one hit in a case is bad, but two? And two autos? Not really cool. I've already contacted the company via email and voicemail, but it being the holidays, I'm not shocked I haven't heard back.
But, the cards I DID get? Fairly happy.
The highlights:
Autos:
Giannis rookie auto - killer card with a full name sig, not the abbreviated one he's using now
Winning Ink Luc Longley - a beaut, for sure. On-card auto.
Red White & Blue David Robinson - my favorite card of the break. Short-printed to /25 and on-card. Stunner for sure.
Slam Ink Ron Harper - I don't need this for my set, and it's a redemption, but if it ever gets made and it's a Bulls uni, a winner.
Autographed Jerseys Tony Parker - per usual, TP can't keep his sig on the sticker, but it's /25 and he's a future Hall of Famer
Autographed Jerseys Mitch Richmond - Same insert set, and he's already a future Hall of Famer
Hall Dwellers Dominique Wilkins - 'Nique signs a lot so I assume this redemption will get made, it's got a jersey swatch, and it's /15
Jersey Cards
OJ Mayo First Flight Unis - only because I need it for my set
Top Flight Unis Kobe - The Mamba. 'Nuff said.
Top Flight Unis Prime Channing Frye - great patch on a /25 card
Fearless Foursomes Prime - Carmelo, Amar'e Stoudemire, Felton, and Bargnani with some nice patches
Intriguing Pairs Kevin Durant & Blake Griffin - Two big names. It's a neat card
Terrific Trios Kyrie Irving / John Wall / Tyreke Evans - nice card with three great guards, numbered to /199
Misc. Cards
'14 Draft X-change Julius Randle
