Any Donruss collectors out there excited for this product to show up? I was disappointed it just got pushed back to 2/9. But I did violate my rule about pre-ordering and went ahead and pre-ordered a hobby box. They have been so good the last couple of years and am hoping Panini doesnt water them down. Looks like Next Day autos are back for this year which is good.

I was excited for it to come out this week while on vacation. Now I’ll have to buy more Hoops

Hard to be excited about when it's $600 a box. Way outta my price range unfortunately

5 cases incoming for me, but this pushback is a blessing in disguise. I'm bogged down with all the recent baseball releases so this will give me another month to move some stuff and make room for Donruss.

I wouldn't say super excited, but I like Donruss and looking forward to it. Pre-ordered one box at $500. If I like the product, I may order another later on if/when the price point drops.

Bought two boxes last season. For what the product is, I liked the inserts, especially the lasers. Pulled two nice autos (Quickley /75, Pat Will /1) but the relics were two Jersey Kings cards with material that of course had no connection to the player. I'd be a little happier knowing the rookie stuff this year was event-worn, but not holding my breath. I don't want to hit that crap again

Price aside, this is a much better draft class than last year

You have to know the product to understand why it's priced this way. The inserts will get you 75% of box price at release. The proofs will get you the other 25% or more.

Rookies, autos, and relics are basically free cards. And I like free.

This product is the SAFEST money you can spend on any basketball product all year long.

You know that we see eye to eye on this and I’ll fight the Moss’ to the death about Donruss.

This is a bit of a gamble this year though. Doesn’t look like they have Crunch Time and 3rd year Net Marvels…

Still it’s as safe as any basketball product, but the configuration one day is going to screw up Pre-Orders. Hoping you pull some solid Next Days.

Would you rather have 80 Crunch Time or 1 Next Day? Also, first (and only) Net Marvels for Melo and Antman put this ahead of last year IMO

The only thing I'll be worried about is parallels for Net Marvels.

Are you sure about no net marvels or crunch time? The sell sheet that Blowout has listed says they are in there

Crunch Time if I'm ripping and flipping.

Ideally both.

Yes if you're ordering by the case I'd take the Next Day..but if you can just afford a box of this the odds are you aren't getting a Next Day if it's a case hit and taking out a popular insert hurts for box buyers

Among inserts will be Production Line, Net Marvels, Craftsmen with parallels coming there, too

Net Marvels, yes.

Crunch Time, doesn't look like it.

I'm not seeing Crunch Time either but the sell sheet does mention them? Probably Panini being Panini lol

You're right and I'm dumb. It's the next line.

I'm a big Donruss fan all around. I do think the magic it had is waning and it's coming back to reality.

3rd year Net Marvels aren't the same as the 1st unfortunately. Hopefully they include the Rookies at least!

Release date pushed back AGAIN now to 2/25. Panini is showing no signs of getting back to a historically normal release schedule.

[Yankees2020]

WHY?! Why are they still making STICKER autographs in 2022??? smh

I’m still seeing 2/9 with Choice boxes releasing 2/25

I was looking at the Blowout Release Calendar. I can't say for sure how accurate it is, but it shows 2/25 for regular hobby and is unclear on Choice.

The calendars accurate, until Panini announces the inevitable delay on most products.

[auctionjmm]

Well the product is finally being released, as 2/25 is confirmed with no further delays. Very much looking forward to this at the end of the week.

I’m definitely looking forward to ripping a box as well, hopefully the prices at my LCS are decent. They’re usually a little below whatever BO is at, so I’m probably in if it’s sub $600.
