An awful name for the product, but I actually like the cards. I'm always a fan of full bleed action photography, and the matte finish has me intrigued.

[Miguels]

The ones that are on card will look great with that design and card finish.

The ones with Sticker will look like trash because it just totally throws off the concept.

[BlowoutBuzz]

I'm sure the real cards will have a more interesting feel than the mocks indicate on this one.

[deansayso]

These cards look awful. But I also hate college cards.

Also, did you delete Siberians post? Just for a few clicks?

[TWard]

Reminds me of Pinnacle for some reason.

[chrisfaceoff]

Serious questions, and I'm sorry if this is going to come off as rude.

But what is the point of the "Blowout Buzz"?

I noticed someones comment was deleted so they follow the link to the page for the item description. It just seems like complete overkill. A Thread only to take you to a page to get the info makes no sense.

I thought the concept of it worked, but it just seems like if never caught on after a few years. Reviews are subjective to what a person likes and doesn't like, and people can formulate their own reviews off others' box/case breaks in the first place.

Classic Clickbait

To take you from a blowout site, to another blowout site?

I'm not sure what the endgame is there.

I had the same reaction -- and I couldn't put my finger on why I thought "Pinnacle."

That pyramid, dudes

[JWBlue]

Love these cards. Reminds me of Noir with more color.

[Seahawks fan]

The Rosen looks nice as does the black and white Manning. But the font on the black and white Wentz and the others is cheesy.

[roberth404]

Disgusting...and I mean that in the worst way possible

I was just trying to help the lazy people here. Guess they want more traffic on that website. It’s all good. A lot of my posts get whacked

Pass. I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and guess that a box of this is going to be in the $250-$300 range. Three autographs and one memorabilia card per four-pack box. And the cards don't even look that great.

I have to wonder what Upper Deck's treatment of the same cards would look like (I imagine it would be better), and what their price point would be.

$120 for this box

I'm actually surprised. That is not bad. I still don't think the cards are all that great looking, guess I'd have to see them in person.

The reviews always strike me as hilarious. Yeah, it's a blowout page, and their only goal is to sell you product, but what's the point of reviewing a product if the scale only goes from "fantastic" to "pretty good?" Have they ever given even a mediocre score to anything?

[Bassplayah101]

[coltsnsox07]

With the name 'luminance' I'd expect something more bright & shiny.

[daviswr7]

I actually like it. Little different, but four hits and three autos at the price point..sounds good.

Exactly. They aren't going to say anything bad about a product to hurt a potential sale. Its a business, I totally get it, but for a new product it's just a page to re-route you to another page and that is just kinda lame. Also the reviews are almost always a blaster box. Don't get me wrong, they try, and put effort into doing it, but it just didn't catch on. People bust a lot of product here, and Box breaks are basically reviews in and of itself.

It should just be a sub-section on the new site like cardboard connection had for "What's Hot" to include news about new products, contests or promotions, and then at the bottom of the page of the article have the link to take you to the page for the product on the site to buy/preorder.

Deleting a member's reply to a thread that did not break rules, attack a member, or was inappropriate in any way is a pretty bad look in my opinion.

[chrisfaceoff]

But as far as the product goes, I actually kind of like it. Personally i'm not going to keep any college cards of a player, but it seems like a decent product to try at the beginning of the year.

[BigRhino]

I like the graffiti fonts in this and decent starting price, I'm going to preorder a box or two
