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.

Biggest Error Card of All-Time?
So it was about a year ago when I purchased a few packs of Prestige Basketball 2010-2011 and really liked the product. Which is why getting it for my birthday this year in blaster form was awesome. However, it was sorting through them last year when I noticed something wasn't right. When putting the cards by number, I noticed in small writing that the card was autographed!! Then the next one too! I was very excited! 2 autographs in 6 packs!! At a retail outlet at that! What a pull! I didn't originally see an autograph when busting but I had heard enough stories with cards being stuck together so I thought I hit it well. But when I flipped the two cards around. Autographs were not found. I went to the back again and read it. The looked at the front. Then the back...then the front...then the...well you get the point.
I waited til the next day before calling Panini customer service about it and they told me nicely that the cards were printing errors and that there was nothing they could do and no replacements would be shipped. I must admit at first I was a little furious, but then I came to realize that errors are made. And that these cards were still pretty cool and unique in their own way. Though the cards have no added value from the error since so many were made, I found it a collectible and look at them time to time.
Here is an example of the cards:
I have also included a link to the Knights Lance about these if you want more information on them!

I now ask...is the biggest error in sports cards history?? Or is there one that tops it?

Box Review! Panini Prestige 2010-2011 Basketball Birthday Blaster Boxes!
My Birthday box review!! I didn't get a hobby box, but did get a couple of these from a relative to bust! The first part new way to review will start with the outside. I like cards from the outside in. So in order for me to feel like I did a good job with a review, I am going to start doing it that way. Because sometimes, I do judge a box by its cover.
A full Box review of Prestige Basketball 2010-2011:
Box: I like the design of the box. It matches its cards. I will say one negative thing, I didn't know the box came with a jersey or autograph card. And sometimes when I buy blasters, I buy them for that purpose. This one didn't have it listed anywhere on the front where the store stocks it that way. The words were hidden on the side. If it wasn't for my love of Prestige and it was another brand, I might have ignored it without a hit. Other than that, a nice box with the top pick of the draft as the lure in. If Panini had known ahead of time, I am sure that Mr. Lin would have been on the cover as well.

Wrapper: I like companies that match the wrapper with the box front.
$$$ out of 5
Base Card: Love the clean crisp design! Great stats and write up on the back as well!

| John Stockton, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird are just some of the Legends! |
 |
| Thought we did well, getting John Wall, Evan Turner and Paul George as our best rookies. 8 rookies per blaster. So we got 16 overall! But did not get Linsane! |
$$$ out of 5
Inserts: Some parallels of the base cards to be found.We got a light blue draft pick of Erik Bledsoe. The Hardcourt Heroes looks great from the angle the picture was taken at. Right at the rim. Doesn't get any better. The Prestigous Pros...look great. Shiny and numbered. A nice pop!
$$$$ out of 5
Memorabilia: We got one of these per blaster. Nice touch to add the jersey piece to the already nice shiny looking Prestigious Pro's.
$$$$ out of 5
Autographs: N/A
Overall: A lot to be found in one of these blasters. Makes the $20 you spend well worth it. With 8 rookies and a jersey or autograph guaranteed. You cannot go wrong!

Let us know what you think of our new box break system!!
