Well, even without the logos, I still like some of Panini's baseball products. Especially Select. I just love the look and feel of the cards. I can't really justify spending hundreds for a box of Chrome or Dynasty or even Triple Threads. As much as I would love to, that's just too much money that I could use for other things we need. So that's why I kinda go cheap with sports cards hobby wise.
I did end up ordering a hobby box of Topps Series 2 to chase the J-Rod SP. Got it for $80. I figure there is enough in there to justify that price. The J-Rod sells for around $400, plus you got some case hits to chase, and surprisingly, Topps sometimes throws in some sick hits into hobby.
The main thing is, I usually only buy retail. Just because of hobby prices. So I figured it would be fun to open something with 4 hits with the potential of some case hits. Like I said, I did see multiple Wander redemptions pulled out these Select boxes. And I know their value is less than Topps on almost all cards, but I honestly got it more for fun than as any type of investment.
I think I'll sleep on it and decide tomorrow.
