Wow, just watched a half case of Black Gold get busted

[RollBamaRoll]

live from the Summit....what a bunch of garbage. Tons of hood ornament relics, sticker autos and single color jersey swatches. Biggest hit was an on card Derrick Carr. :mad:

But...but...I thought chrome manufactured team mascot patches were the next wave of mega mojo?

[dustyb1987]

good i hate when companies open product days before release and pull a top hit of the product

[cypher]

Those metal cards are very ugly.

[studioU]

Blah, blah, hate new garbage, blah, blah. Rinse and repeat.

I'll wait till I see a decent sampling before passing judgement.

There was also a Mike Evans sticker RPA like the Moncrief.

[imbaked247]

I decided to take the plunge and try 1 box since I had a free $100 gift card for bo fingers crossed.

[ejs23]

you can barely notice those stickers. /sarcasm

Its all hype bro. Once you fall for the hype the slurping begins

[HeritageKing]

They were pimping those hood ornaments on twitter like they were made out of 14k. I can't believe people think this stuff is worthy of their money.

[DalliLlama11]

I still like them, I even like the "lame relics". I enjoy the manufactured patches and stuff, I think the are neat and unique even if they arent game worn. Only thing I am concerned about with the product is that I haven't seen any Devonta and usually when hes live in their product theres at least 1 of his auto cards somewhere in a preview, quality break or whatever and I havent seen one and fear he may be a redemption.

[Valponick]

Beckham didn't sign for this product correct?

Edit: looks like he does have a jersey auto in there but that's it

You know what they say: if you don't like it don't buy it.

Or, in someone's case, buy it anyway.

Extremely. But some of the cards in this product are very nice.

[kyle1707]

They make some nice products...

They are just allowed to make way to much... its disgusting...

Plus why anyone would buy any panini product at release price is crazy...

90% of products drop 30% in weeks... some 50%

Most 2012 products actually increased from starting price.

[studioU]

I don't care who makes what, if I like it I buy/break it. I have no stake in any company and we all know they care little to nothing about us.

I like the design of this over most recent products. Truthfully, I would prefer the "hood ornament" over one of the "off the rack" jersey pieces.

[Colts2012]

I really like some of the Black Gold cards, even the hood ornaments. Nice change. Hopefully there aren't many like me and prices aren't high. Was bummed to see so many stickers- especially on the acetate shadow box like cards. Too bad they couldn't wait for on-card autos.

[CardMonopoly]

This product had so much potential. Just imagine if all the cards were signed on card in gold ink. Would have been one of the best products of the year.

Do you ever have anything original to add to this forum? Or is it just the same sarcastic BS trying to fit in with the in crowd. Grow up. Black Gold is trash.

[freethrowtommy]

If you go into every break thinking that you are going to hit it big, you are gonna have a bad time.

Dude pizzaed when he should have French fried.

Seriously, look at his post history. I am not joking.

188 posts of garbage. 0 deals done on here. Always the same attacking, Panini sucks, anyone who might like their stuff is wrong, BS. I'm willing to bet the account is just someone's secondary trolling account. I don't trust that person any farther than I could throw him.

Grow up, your responses are trash.

Don't buy it, that's just more for me.

[bigaust001]

I think that the cards are gorgeous and that this is a step in the right direction design wise... as far as content and logo design? Yuck.

Sure did. Thanks, Andrew Luck/Russell Wilson/RG3/Tannehill/Alshon/Brock/Nick Foles/TY Hilton/etcetcetcetcetcetc!!!!!

[MeetJSquared]

Are the Black Gold Autographs and Gold Strike Autographs like pseudo-stickers? It's hard to tell in the previews, but it looks like the autos are on a cardboard piece underneath the card in the 'framed' area. So with some players, parts of the auto are hidden by the frame.

If this is the case, couldn't they just send them black cardboard strips to sign and then incorporate in the card to market them as 'on-card'?

[jbrandonw]

I was regretting selling my #1 pick in the hit draft, but I'm starting to feel better about it.

[deltapi1049]

Anyone know how many of the Strata Clear Cut type cards were pulled per case? Those are the only cards that make this product worth a damn.

Dang!! Took you two minutes to call him out for calling you out! :eek:

Talk about having a spidey sense!:eek:

Well its 2012, the best rc class for at least a decade.

Alfred morris and kirk cousins for a bit as well.

[BigSeph]

The sticker autos ruin this from my perspective.

I would have been a big buyer in group breaks if all the autos were on-card, but looks like it's 50/50.

The cards look nice, but when you put a sticker on a sleek black card, you basically ruined it.
