WTF? Seriously? At my LCS you have to buy a box of Panini's crap products to get 2 packs of it.

Im pretty sure thats how it was supposed to be. Thats how panini advertised it (and im assuming thats what they told the owners)...but the owners can do whatever they want with the packs really

unfortunatley not all stores are waiting till friday but I agree they shouldn't be selling the packs themselves.

We get 1 for every 6 packs. And the jersey cards are very easy to spot. I would say one in 10 packs. But there are also auto in other packs so overall I would bet one in 8 with an hit. Went to the LCS today and we came up with a way to prevent the pack grabbers from grabbing those thick packs. But selling the packs I believe could get their panini licensce pulled. Should be interesting.

I called my LCS yesterday to ask if they had gotten Certified (sad that my LCS knows me solely by the sound of my voice), he confirmed. I proceeded to waste money while he told me that he'd be willing to let me "not wait" until Black Friday, if I wanted to buy a box of any of the qualifiers...I respectfully declined, cause the prices were too high for the boxes...$120 for Threads...ouch.

I get BO level pricing on new releases, so I try to get in early with my LCS.

I got a box or r&s for $100 and along with that came 8 of the promo packs. He called me today and said it came in and i can pick it up wheni have a chance, so if your getting less than that your getting shorted. I had to pre order my box tho to get what he was getting im sure i got upcharged on the box but over all i dont think its to bad of a deal.

Not great either. The Chicago Show over the weekend these boxes were 59.95-64.95 everywhere. I guess if some store were selling the BF packs for 5 bucks I guess its about right.

Stopped by two local stores today.

One local store is giving away 8 BF packs with each box purchased at $110. I asked him about the thick packs being easy to spot and he said each box he put 1 think pack in with 7 thin packs so if you buy a box you are guaranteed a hit on the BF packs. Good and fair deal if you ask me.

Second store he had all his packs in a couple of ziplocs. I pointed out the thick ones to him and suggested he number all the packs like another shop owner did on the forums here and then people can just request numbers to keep it fair. I know he will come up with something to stop the searchers. You could clearly see the thicker packs in the stack. On top of that one of his packs is extra thick so that's probably a patch or something. Not sure but I think he is giving 4 with a box.

It's nice to have a couple of local stores both playing fair with the packs. It would be very easy for store owners to make some coin opening the hits

Better hits were coming out of the thin ones than the thick ones where I was. Tebow auto and two Faulk autos. Someone pulled a pro bowl auto jersey, but it was deangelo hall. Nick Collins SB relic was pulled too.
