First Buzz: 2024 Panini Select WWE wrestling cards

[TXRunner]

@nightman - Wow! Nice pulls there. Those are fire boxes.

My son found two more megas last night. We finally hit some dud boxes. No biggie hits. I think my best card was a Asuka blue throwback numbered to 49. Also got another 1,500 Panini points. So those two cards paid for the mega. So even on dud boxes you are coming out ahead.

Here’s photos of the some of the cards I mentioned above. Warrior will be going to grading soon

Love it! These boxes are fire!

Do you guys use PSA or someone else for WWE cards? Was contemplating CGC.

For my PC I prefer ungraded, and I only ever grade if it's a big card I don't intend to keep. In those cases, I always use PSA to ensure the premium.

If you're grading for PC, whichever company floats your aesthetic boat would be the obvious choice.

[ThatGuyPal]

I grade PSA as that's what I use for all cards (won a giveaway once for another company so have one slab from them) and I like uniformity lol the card from the other company isn't a big card but if it was I'd prob not even of graded it. For example say grading company A is cheaper or doing a sale currently.....I compare it to being a fan of Coke and Pepsi is on-sale half off, some people may not care but being a Coke guy I'd still pass.

Thanks, I'm hoping the 9 boxes I ordered off the secondary market are fire, but I'm just happy to have gotten what I got.

You lucky son of a gun! I pulled the tiger and the gold in back to back boxes. The other boxes were a let down by comparison, but if I had opened them first I would have been very satisfied with the results. I mean I was initially poo-pooing the Lyra auto where if I had pulled that first I would have been very happy with that.

I would have been happy with your boxes as well.

I needed some good luck after completely whiffing on Three Count case breaks. Luckily, select WWE has always been pretty good to me.

Went to my Target today, hoping to find Megas but just ran across Blasters.

[VirtualSuplex]

I opened 1 mega so far and ate #@#@#@#@ with a 1500 point card instead of an auto…but did pull a gold cracked ice ringside Paul Heyman /10

[ThatGuyPal]

It sucks when your a fan and want the auto, but 1500 Panini Points def isn't eating you know lol it's prob better value wise than 80% of autos I've seen. Just sold on Fri or $70 (maybe another mega buyer lol) last Cracked Ice auto sale was a Blair Davenport for $5.77

Speaking of the Gold Ices, it's pretty shocking to me how low some are going, and that cards like Tiger/Zebra Prizms seem to be more popular. I always rated /10 over a case-hit but not others I guess. The Cena and Batista Gold Ice both sold for under $100, Cena's Zebra Premier last sold for $112 lol I think if you're a buyer the Gold Ice could end up being a great deal down the road. Probably be able to grab quite a few seeing how frequent they're popping up lol especially when people realize this is wrestling and some of these golds could be $30 not the recoup of six megas as expected lol

Lucky for me I’m also 3/3 on zebras in megas so far. Plus this Heyman will for sure get me my money back

[ThatGuyPal]

That's odd since I'm pretty sure Zebras are only in hobby lol and the points alone will pay off the mega I was just saying I'm surprised top names are under $100 lol

I meant tiger. You get the point

[TXRunner]

Yea, your 1,500 points basically paid for your mega if you choose to sell it. I have got two 1,500 point cards and a 250. So about $175 in points. I am selling!

On a different note, my son sold some cards today at the LCS and bought their last hobby box. Pulled a gold Hogan auto /10.

[SteigerWRX]

Feel like I got the worst mega they put together, so youre welcome for taking one for the team.

Ricky Steamboat numbered /239 (I think?)
Ridge Holland auto (not numbered)

Thats it.

Your son has been on fire lately with these pulls

[mwsportsart]

You know I couldn't wait till Christmas to open that other Mega...

Well, I won't fill up the thread with pics from the whole box this time, but will tell a short story. It was seriously like a movie.

First pack:


Last pack:


Gold Ice Auto #/5.

[TXRunner]

That Diesel auto is awesome! Congrats on the pull.

Yea, he has a hot hand right now. He thinks he can just keep pulling big cards. I keep telling him his luck will eventually run out and quit while ahead.
