Evans reaching this is somewhat remarkable considering the lack of talent he played with early on in his career. * Josh McCown (2014) * Mike Glennon (2014–2016) * Jameis Winston (2015–2019) * Ryan Fitzpatrick (2017, 2018) The first six seasons of his career were met with a QB meme carousel and still met 1,000 yards in every season. Evans has long bee

Which NFL Rookie QB XRC sells for the most?

Through 15 weeks of the NFL season, Prizm is right around the corner but no other main top tier products have released for the 2024 NFL season. The best card for the rookies at this moment is their 2023 Select XRC redemption. With Caleb, Maye, Nix, and Jayden not having Panini autographs, most of the products will be rendered fairly redundant. The Select XRC is the best metric for the most part in being able to see who's card are most sought after. Jayden Daniels leading the pack of 4 is no su

What happened to NFL Wide Receivers??

Scrolling Twitter in a product manor as always, I came across the following tweet that stood out. Four players in the NFL have 1,000+ receiving yards: Ja'Marr Chase Justin Jefferson CeeDee Lamb Jerry Jeudy — Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) December 15, 2024 Through 14 games only 5 receivers have over 1,000 yards and one of them being a non-star caliber name. I thought to myself, no way this was the case a decade ago. Looking back at the 2012 & 2013 NFL season, we can see the league was much more

Its December and We Have 0 2024-25 NBA Products

The NBA is 24 games into the 82 game regular season and so far we have received 0 NBA or NCAA products from Panini. The first scheduled release is not until January 17th in Panini Hoops. While many people are likely not too heartbroken by this as it is currently one of the worst draft classes in history. As a result the players who are in demand have instant cards selling for absurd amounts. The $4.50 Panini Instant cards of Dalton Knecht are now selling for $80, an insane profit margin of a ca

Topps ambitious Victor Wembanyama Mercury product with an $8000 msrp price tag and eventually resold for $10,000 should be viewed by Topps as a smash hit. However if you are an individual who bought one of the singles around the time of release and now looking at prices, you are likely very sad. Despite him having 0 licensed autograph from Panini, the autograph market for Victor's Mercury cards has completely tanked and is likely only going to get worse.
