QUOTE(urbanmonk @ Jun 27 2013, 01:56 PM) Agreed if something is that limited then number it. Same goes for this announcing something being XSSSSSSSSP later on, after someone has given someone else a steal. Least that way if folks get took it's their own fault for not researching it, but if they don't announce those things when product comes out then that happens. Not like they don't know the print runs on those cards already. To quote the movie Ghost - "Ditto!"

Wow, since this post I bought a Jumbo box of Score and it was not bad, however, I have still not bought a regular box of Score.
Now I have been watching the UD S1 breaks on another site and it looks real good, seems to be good rookies in each box and it doesn't appear that MacKinnon or Jones are limited to 1 a case. Think I saw 2 Galenchuks in that case as well and maybe only one Yakupov. It also doesn't appear that the runs for certain rookies are the same per box either as I have seen in the past with UD.

QUOTE(Krusin @ Nov 7 2013, 02:03 PM) Ignore the HYPE & buy what you LIKE. I love that Panini gets no hobby respect, I've been picking up some beautiful cards at dirt prices. Some have been so cheap that I've been picking up multiple copies of some & that's soooo unlike me. Things get HOT then go away then get HOT again I've seen it so many times in the hobby. I'm at the age where I know what I'm buying will be sold down the road as we had no kids & none of my sibs or relations are into cards. Just remember that no matter what you collect at some point it'll belong to someone else unless you have your collections buried with you. I find it odd that Panini attraction to collectors is all over the board, Basketball collectors love their stuff & are spending thousands on boxes & singles yet in Football & Hockey if it's not a BIG name it gets ignored. These trends can be profitable if your careful, the stuff I've been buying I feel will at minimum return what I've paid & if I'm right I might see a decent ROI. So to each his own, do what makes you happy & don't fret the small stuff. I didn't say I didn't like Panini, what I don't like is when a product that was reasonably priced almost doubles in price. It seems to be a trend this year with the manufacturers to raise prices for hockey stuff. Probably due to the fact that they lost money last year due to the lock out, but still that was not the fans / collectors fault, so why are they sticking it to us? Some stuff has not been as marked up as Score was and that was my main gripe. Panini does some real nice stuff like Prime and others, just disappointed that these product is so expensive for a base box.

QUOTE(Krusin @ Nov 8 2013, 09:32 AM) Did not mean to insinuate you didn't like Panini, very sorry if it was taken that way. I do fully understand the frustration of a product you've like to bust doubling in price, I'd be upset also. It seems the companies are testing the limits of what collectors will spend on all products low & high end. I may have misread your post. No biggie, either and I agree they do make some nice stuff, I love the Prime Color Logos and several of their designs, just wish I could pick them up cheap enough. Yeah, it does seem that companies are testing us, but it also is like everything else has been recently doing, either going up in price or going down in quantity. Like cereals, used to be 13-15 ounce boxes, now some are 10 ounces, similar with chips and junk food. Getting less for what we are paying, but not feeling it as much as the price stands out more than what is in the bag/box.
