[@palmettocards2099]

Never seen Geoff this mad but he is absolutely right, Panini treats their customers like straight garbage. Only way to teach them a lesson is stop buying $900 boxes that have $20 worth of cards.

[@mangobango6970]

Yeah but people blow alot of smoke but never follow through. That's the only way to fix it, but people are not going to stop buying. So it's a moot point for all these people to even get upset about it since they won't do anything different

I'll say it again, Panini is not forcing anyone to go buy cards, greed forces people to buy cards. Y'all will be saying the same about fanatics in a couple of years.

[@suzie9874]

@@deezihogan8675 This is what happens when the leagues sell the rights to one company to make cards. Video games is the same. People complain all the time about EA Sports and Madden. When there is no competition. The quality goes way down. Nascar games took the biggest hit. If Topps made basketball cards as well. Then the card shops could all ban together. Not buy any Pannini products to sell. That would force them to do something different.

[@JQM78]

Do you fhink it’s time that Fanatics looks into a new printing facility? This place seems to be messing up with its process, AND, xards are going missing & /1’s duplication!!

Breakers are buying at that price, hard to believe the average collector would spend that much on a box knowing they can buy singles

[@OhioCardVault]

And this is why I stopped opening boxes, breaking, and anything that associated with risk. It wouldn't be so bad if they at least acknowledge the issue, but they simply don't. That tells me they don't care about the collector. Why would I even think of supporting a company that has those kind of principles.

[@DOPECARDS]

Panini is laughing 😂😂😂😂

[@NomahsSportsCards]

Panini’s CS is really bad - but they have gotten better - I waited on redemptions for years til they finally answered the phone - they did give us a great replacement - but not the cards I was owed - I will never buy Panini again - they just don’t care and have not earned my business

[@davidhartung1335]

No matter what happens to the manufacturers I just love doing it all from ripping all sport and non sport card of all years and I buy singles and pound the pavement at garage sales and buy collections of all years and find passion in all of it

What about the no purchase necessary NPN stuff? I’ve sent them off for over a year now and never gotten a card

[@JeremyHutchings-x5c]

Am I the only person that believes a BGS 9.5 is better than a PSA 10 75% of the time? I have seen these PSA 10’s that hold 2x premiums that have ridiculously horrible centering. In the earlier days when I stopped collecting in ‘03 a BGS 9.5 sold for more than PSA 10’s and rightfully so imo. Can someone make it make sense to me?

[@cardboardcheddah3715]

You’re right in my book as to the legitimacy of the grade in BGS holder but the market is what drives the value not the reality of condition inside any case. If you’re not in this for the money and want a true example of the grade on the label, I’d recommend BGS over everybody,imo.

[@naiyomotion]

I just opened a Panini Laliga Select soccer box that is missing it's auto as well. Really really annoying and it might be the moment that I shift away from Boxes - especially as they're getting more expensive all the time.

[@JQM78]

The real crime is the autos Panini actually put in this product. 99% are absolute jobbers & worth less than $10

[@pat30185]

I stopped buying boxes recently. The ROI is terrible. I'd rather put that money towards singles. I'll know what I'm getting and it's worth what I'm paying.

[@chasejackson7248]

The majority of people are looking for expensive 1 or 1s, which they aren't going to buy as a single, they are looking for a big pay day.

[@pat30185]

@@chasejackson7248 I get that, but how much is spent looking for them vs what they're worth when they do find one? Let's say someone spends $10k looking for a $2k card, that is not a good ROI. And they'd be lucky if it's worth that. I'd rather buy a $2k card that is almost guaranteed to increase in value over time. Say Mahomes for instance.

[@kingkooty4966]

I personally stopped buying panini and started collecting topps baseball more

[@yodermorgan]

Wow. I just watched RunGoodLife open a box missing both autos. Could be coincidence but what are the odds sounds like a lot more than a few boxes slipped thru. Ohhh Panini...

[@sammyhill93]

14:54 In Geoff’s defense, he has the rest of the Bron 🌈 in 10, so I totally get that. There’s an OCD component there that most collectors can relate to. But I also agree with the thought of, “my rare card’s grade doesn’t matter, I just want it encapsulated and preserved.”

[@cardboardcheddah3715]

I’d crack the BGS 9 and send to PSA to see if it got a 10 and even if it came back a 9 would likely be more valuable to collectors as well.

[@tylerladd4043]

TBH I'm a golf fan and card collector, I had no idea new products came out last year until you just said it lol so maybe not marketed very well? Who knows but I'll be looking at them now lol

[@Wiscollectibles]

Honest question- which is worse, not addressing the major issue or having to address a major issue with the majority of your releases? It appears that all either of these companies care about is milking their client base for every penny they possibly can.

Both are definitely bad.

[@itshardtochangehandles]

The Topps Chrome Tennis probably would have done better, but the checklist was pretty bad and the auto checklist was even worse, just like T-Pott was saying. Coco was the hit of the product. The other issue is that the autos were few and far between and the hobby boxes often had little to no hits. I know I opened several myself and only got 1 auto. One box only had 1 numbered card. I thought the Lite boxes actually seemed to have better hit rates.

[@danday9697]

Does panini make it right like topps does? I had no auto in a topps box, and in a month, they sent me an auto

[@brianharris3455]

I still remember the days when you could buy most boxes of cards for around $100 and get some cards you really wanted. I remember buying a case of 2001 SP Authentic Golf with the chance to get the Tiger Woods auto Rc for around $400. Today you can't even buy a box of that for $400. Panini for sure has to change their ways. I would hate opening a box for that much and getting no auto's. That happened to my friend years ago. He opened a greats of the game football box with no auto's. So he mailed to the company and got back a fresh box and a Walter Payton Auto! Good times 🙂

[@LilleyDaniel]

I hit a 1/1 Van Ness Gold with a major print line across it, Panini,………. Didn’t change it. Poorly ran company, too many silly mistake that cost the consumer.

[@ericmoore8232]

Panini sucks I hate the points also

[@michaelhobbs3924]

I think its typical bad form by Panini, but on the same breath, I don't really know its the auto's that is the chase for Prizm... might just be me. On the topic of grading, I do specifically seek out PSA 10 over any alternative when its available, my personal preference but am happy to pay a premium for it... there are those of us out there!

[@Dog8myhomework]

What Geoff and Tpot forgot to mention about the PSA 10 premium debate is that if you’re wealthy or have a lot of money, you want the PSA 10 anyway even if it’s a ridiculous price. The same way a rich person wants a Lamborghini and the average person saying a Lexus or Honda or even Tesla has better value.

[@t-pott4504]

I mentioned that in my full video.

[@Dog8myhomework]

@@t-pott4504 I was talking about in this video. Geoff disagreed with you because he’s got enough money to acquire big PSA 10s unlike the rest of us.

I wish I could share a picture of this card because it’s amazing beautiful of Joe DiMaggio actually fielding a glove and the card has a boarder with baseball’s around him and it looks like he is standing in a baseball in a cartoonish design

[@davidhartung1335]

Panini Relic/Mem cards are absolutely effed. Prizm being a “from nothing patch” is bad enough, but when it comes to flawless, Immac & NT, where you’re spending $3k-$10k on a box, and getting the same patches, thats even more attrocious!!! But they keep doing it because we buy it regardless. Smh

[@dudester81]

Do a segment on how PSA is buying or merging with SGC next

[@sammyhill93]

8:10 I am of the belief that Panini knowingly released this product with a shortage of autos. I don’t think it could ever be proved, however. Furthermore, they could never be held liable for costs because of the “on average” bit they put in there. Corporate greed and blatant disregard for the consumer, just like 99% of corporations in the world.

[@burnt_nz_bbq]

If any card maker is using a 3rd party to print a card there should be a company rep onsite to do QC. I’ve worked in the printing business and quality control is a priority! Wrong color or a miss print is costly. Quality control is missing in the companies and is counter productive. There are systems in place to find mistakes and this makes me believe they have to much trust in the printing company. I understand mistakes happen but you mitigate that through a good quality control process.

[@kevinglasgo5250]

The problem with PSA. That everyone is scared to address is the fact they don't have a 9.5 grade. So their 10's shouldn't carry a premium of any type. When most are probably not true 10's

[@Simonlegend35]

In any type of collecting they always say the most important thing is condition, 2nd is rarity! So kinda agree with both of u. It's a little of both.....u want the best condition n rarest! So if there are thousands of 10s on 1 card the premium makes no sense!

Obviously he chose the kaboom, then he compared the sales prices of the red white and blue card in a psa 10 to the raw kaboom. Just because some random guy put the card in a plastic holder and put a sticker with the number 10 on it meant that the very common retail card, outsold the super short print card.
