After the soccer cards and the Just Minors Mystery Baseball box the final box I picked-up was a 2013 Panini Golden Age, just out of curiosity. I still have mixed feelings about the set so let's have a look !
The good thing about the box is that it guarantees you two auto cards. I pulled a Carl Eller and a David Pollock. As a European guy I have never heard of both. I am also still waiting at my Kershaw/Kemp redemption from 2 years ago so I do not have high hopes of the Eller ever turning up on my doorstep.
Each box alsocontains two relic cards. I actually like the look and feel of these cards !
The base cards are oke-ish and the scans actually looks much better, or maybe it's because of Bo Derek and the Fonz. I still want to chase the Fonz auto in this set as he was one of the cool guys during my childhood, he didn't want to be the Fonz !
The box also includes minis, I love minis although in general I am a little in doubt on this set and its look and feel. Therefore, the likelyhood of me trying to complete this set are slim. I do like the Fonz mini !
All in all, Panini did not blew me away with this one and I was actually hoping for more of a Cooperstown look and feel.
Do you guys like this set. Anyone trying to complete it. Happy to trade some of it away !
I am collecting various parts of the set. Wouldn't mind trading for that Lana Turner if it's available as well! Email me!
ReplyDeleteI could go for any of the insert set cards you have from this. I still owe you for the Pendleton auto/etc too though! LMK.
ReplyDeletesure guys will shoot you both an e-mail soon !
ReplyDeleteI love the Bad News Bears. That's the first movie I can remember seeing that had a baseball theme to it!
ReplyDeleteAAAAYYYY! The Fonz makes those almost worth it, and Bo Derek I see they also tossed in Evel Knievel in there.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the original Bad News Bears movie. I need to see if it's on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteI love the Bad News Bears additions to the set, that's definitely a neat touch, although I'm not too sure how pleased I'd be to pull one as one of the main 'hits'.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Bade News Bears is a great addition to the set.
ReplyDeleteGil!
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeletethose are great funny looking cards
I'd love to get those Bad News Bears autos. I'm hitting the Bay to check them out.
ReplyDeleteI loved Golden Age this year. It was a lot of fun bustin' packs and fun is what its all about in the end. Definitely preferred it to the similar concept A&G, which seemed to be no fun at all this year.
