Panini Card Of The Week: 2013 Prominence Rookie Field Plate Auto Ryan Nassib

Hobby Break 'Em: 2013 Painini Prominence Football Hobby Pack

When you think hobby pack, you most likely are not thinking about a mini box. However, that is the case with Panini Prominence. Each hobby box comes with 3 mini boxes or what they call hobby packs. This is a break of just one of the three. Every "pack" comes with 5 cards. One being an autographed hit. Each pack runs about $45.

There isn't any big pulls here but this product can provide some and some nice looking ones!

 

I can't seem to get away form Gavin Escobar and Knile Davis in my packs! They continue to haunt me. Especially Escobar who I have had an auto hit of multiple times this year in my breaks.

I like the base card design in Prominence. It's plain and simple, yet elegant. The cards are also thick like memorabilia cards.

My hit of the box:

I know some really don't like the looks of these Rookie Field Plates, but I say they are crazy. This design is spectacular! The end zones with team names. Color scheme and just enough room for the autograph and the outside marble border color that surrounds it just makes it even more impressive.

Back to the break itself, for $45, it's obviously a risk. You only get 4 base/rookie cards and the one hit. You obviously need that one hit to be something decent to get a good return here. This box didn't provide it, but I have seen others that have. When buying any form of packs and boxes, you are always taking a risk. That is just part of the hobby, but it can also be a fun part of the hobby when you get the right pulls.

What's In The Mail Box?

 

Rueben Randle could be the next best thing in a Giants uniform. He has shown flashes of brilliance and incredible focus and hands. And that's why I have started to slowly stockpile him. This is one of many I will post. With the possible outing of WR Hakeem Nicks, Randle in his third year could be huge next season.

Also got this card at a very reasonable $1.47. I really like the design and layout of it.

Let me know your thoughts on this mail day.

Panini announced that their 2013 NFL card lineup will include Prominence a product last year that combined many rookie autograph flavors into one delicious product. The 2013 Prominence product will be a bit different of a configuration when it arrives in September.

This years product not only includes the nice looking base cards from above but all of the memorabilia cards in this years product will BE SIGNED! With the following lineup.. Rookie Field Plates Signatures, Rookie Gridiron Gems Signatures, Rookie Class Letter Signatures, Rookie Helmet Signatures, Rookie Embroidered Team Logo Patch Signatures, and short-printed dual- and triple-signed Eminence Signatures.

 

The 2013 Prominence edition will also have three five-card packs per box with each box delivering three autographs, two parallels and 10 base cards or RCs. 

 

 Let us know your thoughts on this product. We think its a go getter from the early images. We enjoyed last years product and this years looks even stronger in terms of configuration and design.

Review: Panini Prominence Football 2012

Prominence Football is well...going to be PROMINENT...otherwise famous.  The product from the outside has a shiny box. You open it up (by pulling it out on the side) only to find a shiny wrapper. There is only one pack. The one pack contains 8 of the thickest juiciest cards you could own. Each one is numbered and is thick enough to use for a sandwich bread.

Packaging: Andrew Luck, shiny, what more could you ask for. I would pick one up. The details of the contents also stand out.

 

Back of a Base Card

Back of a Legends Base Card

Base Cards and Parallels:  These cards are so high glossed and thick its really hard to tell you until you see them in person. These would make the perfect cards to use in retail stores..it would be impossible to feel these out for pack searchers. All cards seem to be the same thickness. 

Each base card has three different versions..silver, gold and blue. That makes this product a challenge for set collectors but also makes it fun.

Autographs: You get two autographs and one jersey card per box. We got a Ben Tate auto, our first one and its pretty exciting knowing if he ever gets on a team to start this could be a valuable auto to have. And this auto is numbered to 50. Also not pictured is a auto/prime jersey redemption card of Brian Quick.

Memorabilia:  Finally...a RG3 hit! He is partnered up with future Eagles quarterback Nick Foles. I like the design of these.

Overall: All rookie cards seem to come in terms of autographs. The cards look great with high gloss, foil and in terms of design. Hit quality is good and this product seems to have a lot of reward to it if you hit it big. And you have many ways to hit it big with the rookies.  It is like the hockey version of Rookie Anthology where Panini takes all of their favorite rookie card designs such as manufactured letter patch autos, field autos, and more and has included them all right into this tightly packaged product. I would personally say give this product a try.
