Review: 2011 Rookie and Stars Longevity Football

Busted a box of this to earn myself some of the Father's Day packs. Here is how I did. Wasn't spectacular, but the cards looked nice.

Box/Pack: Threw away the box and wrapper before taking pics. Not bad looking though. A draw with Adrian Peterson and Blaine Gabbert on the front. However my one complaint  would be there is no amount of hits listed on it. I found out it had 4 auto/memorabilia only because I searched it online before purchasing it.

Base: Love the silver shine. Nice design as well! Usually not one for thick borders..but it does look good in this product!

Inserts: We got a few parallels such as this red one. They are numbered as well. The card looks great in red as it does in the silver/black.

Memorabilia: Thank goodness we got an Andy Dalton, our first memorabilia hit of him and only hit of him of the 2011 season. But if it wasn't for him...this box would have been a poor break. Just like the base cards, the jersey cards have a shine to them as well! They look great here and even better in person. We also seem to have a nack for pulling Austin Pettis in 2011 products.

Autographs: Love the Longevity shiny writing in the background. Very poor player pull. But a nice looking card.

Overall: Nice looking product. Boxes can be found for $60 or lower. 4 hits. Great amount of hits for the price. Very much worth the risk.

Review: 2011 Totally Certified Football

First and foremost, I have got to give Tracy Hackler and Panini a shout out for making this box available to us to review for them. Much thanks goes to them. Here is what I got. I was already impressed with the product to begin with and it did not disappoint me.

Box Design: Loved the box design. Probably one of the best I have seen this year. A lineup of All-Stars and top rookies on the cover. I would definitely grab this from a hobby shop!

$$$$ out of 5

Wrapper: Matches the box. I wished it did however have a player or two on the front. But overall, not bad looking.

Base Card/Inserts:  I had to combine the two since I must have deleted a picture by mistake. Sorry for that. The Base card design is spectacular. The best design with the dufex technology used. This kind of look makes you want to collect the base set!! The base cards are normally a red back ground. This is a blue parallel we pulled of Brian Urlacher. The only one in the box. But, it is numbered to 50.

Inserts Part Two: Panini did a great job of sneaking in these cards of Pepsi Rookie Of The Week winners of 2011. Loved doing the voting and now having the card in person.

Memorabilia: What more can we say??? They glisten. Very good size of jersey piece in the Certified Future jersey cards and they are numbered to 499.  Heritage Collection jersey of Jim Thorpe!!! Wow! Heritage has a great variety of old time vets and we pulled a nice one numbered to 100. The Stitches in Time is an incredible looking 4 jersey piece beauty. We got 4 Super Bowl winning qb's on ours. This was numbered to 90. We have seen some pretty sick Prime versions of that as well.

Autographs: You get one of these sick cards in every box.  Signed on card. And numbered to 499. We got Vincent Brown of the Chargers who could step in for Vincent Jackson who left. We also got a redemption, not pictured, for a Nathan Enderle Freshman Phenoms Sigs Blue.

$$$$ out of 5

Overall: You could tell this product would score high. The only negative was the redemption. Other than that. A solid looking product with tons of potential. The pictures here don't do this product justice. I find this product well worth the $150 per box price tag. And if you try it, you would too!

Also, look forward to a couple of contests with some cards from this break!!!
