That O'Neal and Penny dual-signed card is nice until I saw the Lakers uniform....oops.
Other than that, pretty strong cards.

[BestRCs]

Why would you do that??? Penny and.... Laker Shaq?? Mmm.......

[12g12]

That triple is stunning. Well done

[WillC]

Why would you do that??? Penny and.... Laker Shaq?? Mmm.......

Yeah it's so stupid. Surely it can't have been difficult to find a picture of Shaq in a Magic jersey?

To show the split? It's not the natural choice but it's not an un-natural one, either.

Guess this whole show is a reach, too?

This Magic Moment - ESPN Films: 30 for 30 (http://espn.go.com/30for30/film?page=thismagicmoment)

[drobfan8]

Wow, I'm impressed.

I really like the design on the immac T Mac Patch Auto. But why have his logoman in a hawks jersey?

Agreed about the Shaq, just stupid. But still a pretty awesome card.

Those 3 Js!!! Wow

Some great ideas

[oldgoldy97]

Flawless....5k a case?

[JMys55]

I don't know. After seeing the triple auto, I thought probably these sets were going to be sweet. However, after seeing the rest of the gallery, a lot of those cards look similar and plain. Not much upgrade over prior years (arguably plainer).

Also, the photo of the player is way too small in the dual patch auto. Last year's version was better.

[hairyangryfella]

To show the split? It's not the natural choice but it's not an un-natural one, either.
Yes, it is.
Players on duals usually have some kind of connection. College alumni or NBA teammates, great rivals or same draft class etc.
The only connection between these two is that they were a star duo for the Magic (and played together on a couple of other teams), yet Panini can't even picture them appropriately.

[TBlazers50]

Most of these look damn good. :eek: I would like to see a little more variation year to year within products, because it often seems like they just take the styling and patch windows, etc. and move them around a little to retain the product identity, but they still look fantastic IMO. Price point is another story, but since I only buy singles anyway, not that big of a deal personally.

Oh and it's too bad McCollum has started shortening his sig :( was hoping he'd keep up his long one because it looked awesome but probably took way too long lol.

And yet you cited a connection.

[hairyangryfella]

And yet you cited a connection.
And you're trying to justify your stance with that reply?
There was a connection. Panini did not picture that connection, thus it's poorly executed and/or an unnatural choice.
It'd be like a dual with MJ and Pippen, but Pippen is in Rockets/Blazers or MJ in Wizards uniform. It wouldn't make sense.

[k13]

Like the mavs triple auto...

People are making way too big of a deal about this than they should be. Shaq's best years came as a Laker. Penny's best years came as a Magic. That would not be the equivalent of Pippen on the Blazers or MJ on the Wizards, well after their primes.

There are other Penny / Shaq combos out there with both in Magic uniforms. It's really not a big deal, wish people would get over it.

Please find me on-card autos that features them in Magic uniform. None.

And please find me a card that feature them in Magic/Laker uniform. None.

OK, so a dual with MJ in Bulls uniform and Pippen in Rockets uniform then... unnatural.

Yes, Shaq had more success as a Laker, but the whole connection, the whole point of featuring these two together, is as Magic teammates.
To not do so is just ignorant or lazy.

[CPROG]

Why oh why do scrubs like Don Majkowski get nice cards? He was a flash in the pan before Favre.

I think i would understand more if it were an active dual, like say CP3 in a Hornets uni and Blake in a Clippers uni - then I could see why it might be annoying for team collectors. But for a pair that played together for 3 seasons 20 years ago, is it really that big of a deterrent for collectors that they're not in the same uni? I'm sure they'd like it just the same.

But I understand your point, and like you said I do think Panini should have thought it through more. Just not a big deal to me and still a nasty card.

[tommywillsburg]

what next a Malone lakers and Stockton Jazz dual auto? can't wait!

[Andy5]

Immaculate autos are nice, even with Shaq in his Lakers uniform.

Flawless looks so bland.

[threepointplay]

I cannot decide whether I am pleased or sad that they are doing another Shadowbox Signatures in Immaculate.

I like the design again and the fact that there will be players in this years version that were not in last years. But I have still not finished picking cards from the 14-15 version!!!!

There is no way I am gonna be able to leave these new ones alone and by the looks of things they have increased the number of cards per player. Last year the lower-end players were serial no. to 49, wheereas this year, it looks as though they have gone up to 99. Hopefully, that will allow me to add a number of the to my PC at a reasonable price.

Still not sure how I am gonna explain these new purchases to the wife though. :rolleyes:

[UltimateDeron]

Panini really has no clue... Shaq and DRob dual? No! You do Shaq and Kobe dual with both in Lakers jerseys. It would instantly be a $1000 card even #'d to 49. Then do a Shaq and Penny dual in Magic unis. They're so incompetent it's unbelievable.

It does make you wonder.

I actually LOVE the Shaq/Robinson dual as they matched up a lot over the years.

And the Shaq/Penny 100% should be both Magic uniforms. I'm not sure what they were thinking, it shows a lack of understanding of the Hobby and collectors.

Exactly.

I mean I get the Robinson/Shaq dual as they did battle alot in the WC. Rodman/Robinson (Both Spurs) and Shaq/Kobe (Both Lakers) would have made more sense to me.

[BlowoutBuzz]

People are making way too big of a deal about this than they should be.

:)! Indeed. (People also haven't seen a checklist to know if there's also an all-Magic card. Very, very possible ... if not a given.)

[BlowoutBuzz]

Because those flashes didn't have autographs back in the day.

they gonna do it but only in 2020... hahahah

[nephinfan]

That Bird/Magic/Erving Autograph would look great next to the 1980-81 Topps RC.

[bjho852]

:)! Indeed. (People also haven't seen a checklist to know if there's also an all-Magic card. Very, very possible ... if not a given.)

I am pessimistic about that......so that hopefully Panini will make it happen (if they haven't done so) once they see my reply here.

[thepinoymamba]

Looking absolutely Tasteful

Absolutely delightful.

[byronscott4ever]

Don't worry, if there's not an all Magic one in this release, there will be in another high end release and then another one and soon there will be too many of them

[oldgoldy97]

Don't try and argue with the whiners. They'll never be happy with anything Panini does (yet for some reason keep buying their stuff).

When the SOLE PRODUCER constantly fail to think things through...

They are promoting themselves. If they did have a Magic dual, why wouldn't they promote it? The buzz they got when people saw the Stockton/Malone was huge.

Maybe they didn't anticipate people would get so pissy about it.

Really? Given how many times they let themselves down with their execution I'd have thought they'd expect it.

It's basic marketing/decision making.

Give people something they want and have never seen before, like a dual Malone/Stockton, and you get people wanting to buy and creating a huge buzz.

Give people something they want, like a dual ON CARD Shaq/Penny, but carelessly don't try to match up the uniforms, you get people pointing out what they wish they'd have done/should have done, instead of being positive about the product.

I, personally, would have no desire for a Shaq Lakers/Penny Magic dual. However, a dual Magic - absolutely. And I don't think I'm alone there.

We don't know that card doesn't exist though, do we? We're all just making assumptions at this point. It's a teaser gallery. There's tonnes of better cards in all of those sets that they could have shown off but didn't because I guess they either haven't been returned yet or weren't available in the photographers immediate vicinity etc. etc. etc. Is a Frank Kaminsky auto the best thing they're going to have in Preferred? Will that Dennis Scott auto be the best thing they have in Flawless?

We sit here and assume the world is perfect and that there's absolutely no reason why they couldn't have photographed the Shaq/Penny Magic dual auto (assuming it actually exists) when, in reality, there's probably at least a few reasons.

I'd save my rage for when the checklist is released and we actually know for a fact what is included in the product.

[tommywillsburg]

the triples and the logomen are going to drive this product

i do not think some of those cards are final / complete, the flawless looks way to plain and this card is missing the set name. is this the new premium patches set?

For all the talk of Panini's incompetence, retailers are now pricing boxes of Immaculate at up to $700. So their incompetence appears to be working out ok.

Maybe if they do have that Shaq and Penny Magic dual they can sneak the price up to $710.

one word, MONOPOLY

Monopoly or not, they can't price it at that if people aren't prepared to pay. Cards aren't an essential service.

as I said MONOPOLY

if they had competition, trust me it would not sell for these prices no matter what. they could pump out anything right now and people will pay. one of the perks of a monopoly.
