Review: Panini Rookie Anthology Hockey 2011-2012

This product was a ton of fun to open! Surprises around every corner. And it has exactly what I look for in a hockey product in rookies. This is a product that combines many products with some rookies that weren't in their respected earlier products. Now that they suited up, Panini suited them up and made a award winning hockey product.

First off, I would like to say thanks to the WONDERFUL people at Panini America for providing us with this box to review. Here are many places you can find Panini America: official site, blog, Twitter, and Facebook.

And as always...we will do some giveaways from this product!

Here is my review:

  
Box:  Top rookie...top look


Wrapper:  Matches box..nice!

 Base: Nice clean design..looks even better in person. I am usually one for action photography..but this design really brings out the players.

Rookies Base: Like we said earlier, you get a variety of updated products all in one. Love the Dufex from the Pinnacle. Its a combo of all of my faves in one product!


Memorabilia:  Dual jerseys..LOVE! And the rookie theme continues throughout this product.


Autographs: The autographs look great. It is surprising to land the same player in the box though. These are autos from updated products like Crown Royale (really wanted to land a rookie silhouette those look awesome) and others.


Bonus Pack! We landed this sweet auto jersey numbered out of 99  This is a updated rookie auto from Luxary Suite Panini high end brand. There is one bonus pack per box that you can land surprises like this out of!

Overall: This product was not only fun and had surprises, but this made me want another box. I highly recommend puck fans and anyone who loves to open cards and try something new to give this box a run. it is well worth the money. We got 5 hits in what is a high end feel product.

  4. Completely agree. I bought a box of this a few months ago on a whim and just loved it. I think they must put that Alan York Crown Royale auto in every box, because mine had one too.
