Show off your pre-Panini parallels

[80s Showtime]

Panini has so many different cool parallels, but I'd like to take a look back at some parallels from back in the day. Love seeing those sweet parallels like Credentials, Legacies, Platinum, PMG, Notable Numbers, and Rubies! But seeing those tough more under appreciated parallels like Emerald, Key Points, Reflections, Superscripts and Xtra would be great!

I'll start off with the 2003-04 Fleer Authentix Rookie Booster Tickets parallels. The Rookie Cards from were numbered to 1250 and had a "ticket" inside the card that could be removed and replaced with one of three levels of "Booster Tickets" of the player - Lower Level (200), Upper Level (40), and Luxury Box (10).

It was an odd concept because the Booster Tickets had to be ripped to be able to fit. Wonder how many were actually ripped apart? Can't be as many as the Magic Johnson/Larry Bird Rookie Cards by Topps. Would be a shame if the Upper Level and Luxury Box boosters were separated and to be put into the RCs.

Here are the Upper Level parallels that were limited to 40:

Thanks for sharing on the booster tickets. I was well aware of the set, but not aware that there were different versions/levels. I'll have to take a look at the boosters I have sometime

You're welcome. The Upper Level and Luxury Box parallels kind of blend in with the Lower Level Tickets since they are unnumbered and the lettering on the cards are so small and nondescript. Then couple that with the RCs also have a could other parallels also making it difficult to keep track of which parallel is numbered to what after a while if you aren't actually aware and looking for them.

Here's another Fleer Authenix parallel from 2002-03. Some of the jersey cards have an All-Star Ticket unnumbered parallel. This Gary Payton is limited to 91. The other All-Star Tickets for other players vary in their amounts.

These are the only 2 pictures I can find on my phone. Will post more... I think I have few nonPanini under appreciated parallels....

I never knew about thos Authentix cards. That's a strange concept.

Instead of deciding which Marburys to pick, I will just leave a link with all my numbered parallels. All pre Panini since to date, Marbury has only been in the 2009-10 Panini set.

[8collector34]

I remember a Beckett article saying 97-98 SPx had too mach parallels, and they are too easy to pull aside from the Grand Finalé. I wonder what they are saying now about Paniani. Personally, the SPx rainbow is the only one worthy to be in my collection. Maybe one day a can finish it off with the Grand Finalé too, like rimshaqer... and what a nice picture too.

[AbraCalabro]

I was going to match rimshaqer34's rainbow with a Kemp rainbow, but since we've already seen that SPx rainbow, I decided to show off some others:

Exactly, I came to know about these cards when purchase another LBJ rookie from a collector and found this post then I know these are SSPs, I don't think ppl realize they are short prints, I bought the luxury box one from a france collector who puts the title as lower level too.

[bkcardcollector]

sweet, that is awesome, potential huge steal! Musta been waitin at the door for that package to arrive :flex:
