I thought I’d share the results of a break I recently did of 2 hobby boxes of Panini’s 2011-12 Hoops Basketball. We have the stated odds and we have the actual cards pulled. Let’s see how they compare …
Base Set: 100% (278 out of 278)
2nd Base Set: 89% of a second set (247 of 278)
Base Set Parallels: 3 Sticker Auto’s (3 out of 179)
Base Set Parallels: 2 Artist’s Proof
Champions: #279 (Chase Card) 0%
Kobe Black Mamba: 0%
Blake Superior: 0%
Hoops Action Photos Subset: 32% (8 out of 25)
Hoops Dream Subset: 67% (6 out of 9)
Slam Dunk Winners Subset: 33% (5 out of 15) The card states, “Slam Dunk Champion”, but subset is called “Slam Dunk Winners”!?!?
Hall of Fame Heroes Subset: 35% (7 out of 20)
Hoops Courtside Subset: 27% (4 out of 15)
A Night to Remember Subset: 30% (6 out of 20)
Buyback Autographs Subset: 0% (0 out of 4)
Private Signings Subset: 25% (1 out of 4)
Overall, for the price point, this is a good offering out of Panini. As of 3/12/12, blowoutcards.com and dacardworld.com both have these hobby boxes listed at $68.00 per box. I knowingly paid a little more, $77.50 per box at my local card shop (gotta support the LCS when I can). I don’t love all the white space on the base cards and as usual, not a huge fan of sticker auto’s. BUT … again … for the price point, I think this is a pretty good product. Hope you enjoy!!!!
