2016 Optic Football Collector's Box Break #3

Third box of 2016 Optic Football Collector's Box.  I should probably stop.  I haven't hit anything great.  Not even a base rookie of Dak Prescott or Ezekiel Elliot.  I guess that's why I keep going back for punishment!

At least I got a nice holo Tyreek Hill rookie card.  Best base rookie card that I've hit in the three Collector's Boxes that I've bought so far.

2016 Panini Optic Football Collector's Box Break #2

Contents of my second 2016 Panini Optic Football Collector's Box:

The William Jackson III blue parallel is #/149.  It looks like you get one bronze rookie card in each Collector's box (either a Rated Rookie or regular rookie).  I got one in the first box but it wasn't a big name rookie so I didn't scan it.

I really like these boxes.  I think I'll buy another one.  Or two.  Or three.  Or more.

2016 Panini Optic Football Collector's Box Break #1

I picked up a pair of 2016 Panini Optic Football Collector's boxes from Target.  These are $50.  They contain 10 packs (4 cards per pack, so 40 total cards), which includes one bronze autograph card and one bronze relic card.

All the little specks on the cards are not dust.  It's actually the design of the card.

Nothing too notable in the rest of the cards.  The base cards are really nice but I didn't hit any big name rookies.

2016 Panini Classics Football Box Break #1

I bought a pair of 2016 Panini Classics Football hobby boxes from Blowout Cards.  They're only about $32 which is a pretty good deal for a hobby box with one autograph hit and one relic hit.  The autograph checklist is really big with lots of scrubs so the odds of hitting something good is small, but for that much money it's hard to complain.



I really like the cards in this entire set.  Every pack has something in it, whether it be a hit, insert, or short print.  It makes opening the cards fun, and you actually take the time to look at the cards rather than just passing up every single card looking for the hit.  I'll definitely be buying more of this stuff.

2016 Panini Optic Football Rack Pack #1


And I finally found some 2016 Panini Optic Football retail in my area.  I didn't get anything special.  I really like the look of these cards though.  They feel really thick and in hand, and look better in person than they do scanned.  I'm definitely not going to pass up buying more retail of this when I see it.

I finally found some 2016 Prizm Football retail in my area.  Got lucky with an autograph and a Jared Goff red white and blue rookie.
