If you look on the back of the card on the bottom left of the Mac Jones card you'll see a v inside a circle that means it's a variation photo it's not the original photo that comes with the patch on the other cards so that's a rare in its own right when you see that v on the back of cards I learned that from packer cards 87

I think the Contenders base cards are a lot better than the inserts in the 2021 version anyway. They look really nice . Thanks for the video, and keep up the good work.

I’ve gotten 7 of those rookie patch cards from 7 blasters, not one auto. And every one of the patches are “variations” so how rare are they really

Mmm, paid $24USD for a box of Panini Contenders (i'm in New Zealand). Bought two boxes and have had a Lamar Jackson Game Day Ticket, a Josh Palmer Rookie Ticket (relic) and a Dax Milne Auto. Not fetching well on eBay market place, but happy with the result I was kind of expecting. Out of the two boxes with the standard cards I only have received 2 double cards

I like you guys are honest about how cards are so pricey now and its over printed cards. Panini is killing them selves over printing and overpricing cards.

I received my 3 Contenders Blaster boxes from Target, on Friday. 2 Rookie Ticket Swatches, Jaylen Waddle, and Cornell Powell, and the 3rd box pulled Panini Points (400). Few decent inserts, nothing major. Best was a Supernatural Trey Lance, Mac Jones and Najee Harris Round 1 Numbers, 1 parallel # 199 Chris Godwin. 3 Mahomes base cards and a Tom Brady Gladiators, not much else. Fun though to open, with that be it, very slight chance of a cool Auto. Saw a 10 box blaster break, they pulled 2 autos, neither though were top rookies.
@bountyhunterbreaks8982 жыл бұрын
That Mac Jones appears to be a variation since it has a V on the bottom of the card back. I don't know if the cracked ice autos are still highly coveted but honestly the product is a waste of cardboard, at least in a retail release. Right up there with Playbook retail.

Thanks for pointing that out! I tried to tell Luke it could be a variation of some kind, lol. Yeah it is not a good retail release at all. Most boxes of contenders are just trash!

The best and worst thing about the product is not any true rookie cards out of it, unless you count round numbers. Why the autos are very desirable and keep pretty high values, especially cracked ice. We got 3 boxes today, no autos in anyone of them, but we did get a Stardust Herbert. Guessing that's a $40 to $50 card?
