2021-22 Revolution

smalltown · 04-26-2022, 05:26 PM

Didn't see a thread. But Revolution drops tomorrow. Anyone excited? Or is everyone just waiting on Prizm at this point?

dengbang · 04-26-2022, 05:37 PM

Stopped caring after they went away with in card autos. Galactics are nice but to me the selling point was the on card autos with amazing design.

I love Revolution, I bought one Warriors spot in a group break with a breaker I know / like, but refrained from buying out ALL the spots I could find like I might have two years ago.

No on-card autos for the rookies, veteran checklist is poopy, and seems like production even on a limited set like this is going up. 2020-21 is one of the cheapest Hobby boxes out there, and I can see this one going that way as well. I'll probably wait to buy a case until they hit around $200/box, and just buy singles until then.

daeve · 04-26-2022, 06:12 PM

Might look at a few singles, since there's nothing out yet that has caught my eye for this class.

I’d like to rip at least one box like I do every year, but sticker autos for a second straight year is a huge bummer. Honestly if they were going to use stickers, they should guarantee one auto per box. It was fun to chase the on-card autos because they were more rare than standard base autos from other products, but to only get sticker autos and still only get maybe 6-7 autos per master case? That sucks.

I’ll go for a couple of Jalen Green parallels then Im just gonna chill.

dcarado · 04-26-2022, 09:56 PM

Revolution is one of my all-time favs and I'm as bad as anyone when it comes to blowing money on wax, but I have zero desire to rip at these prices. Any of the cards I'm after will be available in a month for less than half the price of a box, so it isn't even tempting.

Ya. They've started hitting ebay and they're pretty terrible - Giddey. The sticker doesn't ever really have a defined space and goes over part of the Revolution logo. Pretty poor design.

smalltown · 04-27-2022, 07:28 AM

Looks like theres a /75 Anniversary parallel too this year.

Looks like they were designed to be on card but got switched to stickers.

Oooof, that looks awful. You can tell the card is still designed with an on-card auto in mind, but they went with stickers anyway. They have on-card autos in other sets (Elite Pen Pals, Contenders Rookie Tickets), so I don’t know why they didn’t just do the same with these.

Same as last year, no? The stickers extend past the white space and into the rest of the card. Ruins what would be awesome looking autos for me.

I love Revolution but I can't bring myself to pay more for 21-22 than 20-21 costs right now. Hopefully boxes drop into the $200 or less range.

KhalDrogo · 04-27-2022, 09:14 AM

Panini has destroyed demand for 2021 product thanks to their ineptitude in getting these sets released in a reasonable amount of time.

True, but no complaints here. If you're a buyer on any of the guys in this class, this is best-case-scenario. The better products are going to be released in the offseason during the pre-NFL season build-up, so the only people potentially affected would be breakers, and we're still a very very long way from a return to the time where breakers had to eat cost on "junk" products to keep their allocations up on the big products.

21-22 is way better design wise than 20-21 and places lowered their prices to around $280 (still much too high).

My personal opinion of Revolution this year:

Pros: Base + RC Design outstanding
Numbered really pop
Some inserts really stand out (Supernova especially)
Players in new unis mid-season

Cons: Sticker Autos
75th Anniversary is awful

BackToWax · 04-27-2022, 11:30 AM

Won't buy Revolution with sticker autos. Panini messing up one of its cooler products. Not surprising.

daeve · 04-27-2022, 11:32 AM

meh^, I was never wild on the autos - as long as they don't mess up some of the best rookie parallels I'll still buy singles

Stackfan · 04-27-2022, 02:03 PM

I'm going to try a couple boxes, hopefully if they are a decent price.

I loved last years design. This year, i don't know. It doesn't look good from what i can tell, but the parallels look pretty good. I'm willing to give it a shot, but could be a blood bath.

I don't buy revolution for the auto's, so the sticker thing doesn't bother me that much. I do like it's like a hobby only release. (Lower print run) Looks like they've added a couple case hit inserts this year too. Not to mention, keeping galatic's and Lava.

rasclat · 04-27-2022, 04:20 PM

Watched a break with firehands, Barkley hall of fame auto looks amazing,chrome card with on card signature.

ballhawkdawk · 04-27-2022, 05:06 PM

Prime Time Performers are stunners. Those and the Star Factor are unparalleled case hits. Designs are strong this year. I’ll be single hunting.

IronCladLou · 04-27-2022, 06:21 PM

Bought into a break with Brooklyn before seeing checklist and find there are no autos

"Hit" a 75th Anniversary Ben Simmons to further punch myself in the gut

beavers · 04-27-2022, 06:38 PM

Great looking cards, definitely a bummer about the sticker stuff but the remaining on cards are still sweet. I feel like the Revolution brand is strong and may be a sleeper in the future, but I’m also wrong a lot.

TSonn · 04-29-2022, 07:49 AM

Ripped a box and it had zero #'d parallels so that was a bummer. At least got a Myles Turner auto lol.

I watched a ton on release morning. The number of boxes i saw where the best card was a base rookie was crazy.

Nomad · 04-29-2022, 11:10 AM

Seems like the auto sticker with that design is one that they should be placing at a slant, like they do unintentionally with many other issues.

The Shock Wave Fractal seems like a new design.
