In the past, most boxes have had one on-card auto. Wonder if the red foil is extra or will replace the original on-card.

[chrisfaceoff]

I'm going to assume it does.

I'm also not going to get these in fear of not being able to pull a cracked Ice or Championship ticket after the debacle of Prizm FOTL.

I may try a couple. I don't think Contenders will be as plentiful as Prizm still is now weeks after its release. 2 of my LCS are only allocated 1 case. I'm actually more worried about this product being watered down with Sophomore ticket and veteran ticket autos. Panini could be ruining one of their most desirable releases, plus the fact they are dropping this so close to the release of Optic simply makes bad business sense.

I got one, the extra content is always a bonus.

[jrnelson]

Never bought any of the "First off the line", I will try my luck with a couple boxes of them for contenders, as its the only product I buy.

[CONNOTONROCKETS]

Just bought 3 . Thanks for the heads up!

[ACCDADEAL]

thanks got 2

[Detblkraven55]

Just grabbed one . Any idea on the Red print runs?

That's what I was wondering. Given that they haven't announced a print run makes me wonder if they're going to print this to order or if they made oodles and oodles of them.

[majestik101]

sigh another one of these FOTL releases with (surprise!) unannounced super mysterious print runs of exclusive content. Fool me once Panini

[Detblkraven55]

The prizm bronze FOTL sell pretty good

[daviswr7]

I don't have the money to do this and run all over town looking for Prizm retail! C'mon Panini, give me a chance to come up for air.

[Rhyno_24]

I bought 2 cases of Prizm FOTL, but will definitely be passing on this... Only received 16 boxes and ended up canceling the last 8 box order because of Panini's horrendous customer service.

I'll just stick with ordering my cases through Blowout!

[titletowncards]

Ordered two.

[Gigantor]

This times 100. I was really bummed when I didn't get any low numbered prizm from FOTL. I imagine it will be the same with contenders.

[Campbelljh3]

For price difference is it worth getting first off lien versus regular hobby?

Good question I ordered my case long ago direct

Cost 110 ish

[HeadstrongRSS]

So wait...what was the Prizm debacle? What do people think the issue may be here?

[RogerGodahell]

Where's the pictures of the exclusive red cards?

[Poochie]

So wait...what was the Prizm debacle? What do people think the issue may be here?They didn’t have any lower numbered parallels in them (Camo, Gold, Gold Vinyl, Black Finite) even though they said the boxes had the same content as regular boxes, just with the bronze cards as a bonus.

[RogerGodahell]

Prizm basketball did. Those boxes were loaded. I couldn't even order any, the website crashed so many people trying to get through.

[Zeldafanatic15]

My FOTL Prizm box had the bronze auto, plus a Cracked Ice Kupp auto and Gold Vinyl Aaron Jones auto. I did see FOTL box results posted with low parallels, they were far and between, but all across Prizm those seemed like tough hits.

For autos? Yes they were few and far between but I followed all the breaks and didn’t see any parallels numbered less than 49

If you show me a FOTL break that had a lower numbered parallel I’ll gladly eat crow, but I’m pretty confident that there wasn’t a break that had any of those parallels from the FOTL FB release.

Yep. There were low numbered autos but none of the colors. I will skip this one too after that debacle.

Yeah hobby is a better value than. My cost was $104 a box so I think I did good going that route over FOTL.

[mwash1983]

Stuff should be 40 dollars with this embarrassing rookie class.

[chrisfaceoff]

I'm actually debating skipping doing a case of this for this year. It's already at $1600 per case. I'm thinking about doing Optic for $650 less and just maybe doing a couple boxes of Contenders instead.

I'm also thinking of taking the plunge on Limited an Select as well.

Optic looks horrible with those goofy ass RR photos, contenders design is just meh this year, im not really that excited until we start seeing what NT and Flawless look like.

Those are out of my range. I like to feel like I get some bang for my buck when I open. Have you seen any of the optic in person yet out of curiosity? They look fantastic. The only thing that bugs me about the Rated rookies is the font for the name. would I rather an action shot? Absolutely, but I dont think its too bad.

Got an email that my box was shipping today..

Yeah, I'm a bit stumped by that comment. It's a pretty good class.

Same here! Looks like scheduled delivery is Dec 27th. Best of luck on your break, hope it's as good or better than Panini's teaser break today!

Have a Happy Merry Christmahanakwanzika and Merry Christmas to all :)!

My box had 3 autos and a total of 2 numbered cards. Red auto was Dalvin Cook. Then I got a Malik Hooker and Malachi Dupree. 3 when the box says 5. Last $ I spend on this POS product.

Your 150 points counts as an auto, but you still got shorted one. Cook is a decent Red. I'd contact Panini if you have your receipt. They "should" be able to do something.
