Review: The Linsane Leaf Rookie and Stars Blaster 2010-2011

Well, first I must say, I found this blaster for $11.98!! But, what a break. Originally as I posted I didn't buy into the Lin hype. But, finding a cheap blaster and taking a chance to try and get one instead of buying one on ebay for tons of money, I figured it was worth the risk. And boy, was it!!!!

Box: The box I really liked the design of. 2 top players and Panini spokesmen. A huge draw. Once again the only negative was the fact you get an auto or memorabilia per box but you don't know that unless you check out the side panel. I knew where to look this time because of my last Panini blaster break. Please Panini put there is one auto or jersey per box on the front!!

Wrapper: It matches the box. Looks nice. A big draw with the 2 spokesman. I usually like to take a pic of the wrapper before digging in, but this time its a little crumpled from my opening.

Base: Like the base card design. Kinda wished there was action shots instead of a white back ground again, but it does well with the "splash" type design with the double lines added as well. I do enjoy the fact Panini mixes in old timers into their products. And its nice to see the rookies match the base cards. However, if you don't look close enough you will not see that they are rookies. I wished there was a different way to stand these out. But one great thing always about Rookie and Stars is the unknown rookies who sometimes turn stars...just check below....

Was stoked to find one of these in there with its current book value of $30. But read on...it gets better!!!

Inserts: Parallels are fun to chase and who doesn't like cards that shine. The insert designs look great and match the feeling of the product as you can see.

Autographs: N/A

Jerseys:  Just look at it....enough said. We hit the jackpot with this blaster. This card is bv of $100 and is numbered to 299. So its a rare find.

Overall: We can't say every blaster is going to bring you this kind of luck. But it could. We really enjoyed this break and Panini does a great job with their blaster products.
