You have the wrong year.

You have the wrong year.

Doesn't seem that way. This is just a late product with the same lineup as the 2021 product, I guess?

What's buzz-worthy: Some notable prep stars from two years ago will be arriving in collectors' hands soon with nothing but 1/1 cards in every box of this one.

It's not the wrong year.

It's not the wrong year.

That's embarrassing. Not for Blowout, but predictably, for Leaf.

Druw Jones was a high school junior in 2021. He had already inked a deal with Leaf then?

Looks to me like two products created in 2022 to commemorate an event from 2021. It’s Leaf pulling an Upper Deck and back dating their products to make them seem more important.

[zworykin]

Yes, I should have been clearer - it wasn't that he had signed a deal with them in 2021, but just that this is clearly tied to that earlier product.

In any event - you think it would make more sense for them to call a product commemorating the "2021 Perfect Game showcase" 2022 Perfect Game?

Yeah. That makes all sorts of sense. :doh:

Every card is a 1/1. But they’re all sticker autos.

Cheap

I’d like the idea if every card was a superfractor. The other parallels aren’t very special IMO

Remember what the used car salesman bg said long ago, he said sticker autos are terrible for the hobby and are killing collecting, and how everyone else is being lazy not having on card autos. He also told us leaf will never use sticker autos cause they are cheap and look terrible.

He was also promoting his all on card signature set. Coincidentally this was the last time leaf released a on card set and he never mentions his comments that he made. Typical snake oil behavior again. It’s terrible when everyone else does it, and pats himself on the back when they do it themselves.
