Box Breaks: 3 Boxes of 2018 Panini Retail Football

I made an unexpected trip to Target to day and I always check out the card aisle to see what retail stuff they have. Panini Football was a product I've been interested in trying for a while now. I like the idea of a low level retail product that guarantees an autograph for a modest price. $30 bucks isn't too bad, it's only 10 more than a blaster which usually guarantees a boring memorabilia card. I also like the look of the base rookie cards from this set so I decided to buy the 3 boxes they had. Here's what I got

Notable Base Rookie Cards Lamar Jackson

Silver Knight Parallel
Christian McCaffrey (#4/50)
Marcus Peters (#7/50)
Jalen Ramsey (#12/50)
Greg Olsen (#12/50)
Justin Reid RC (#11/50)
Connor Williams RC (#4/50)
Julius Peppers (#13/50)

Gold Knight Parallel
Bradley Chubb (#18/20)

Lightspeed Gold Knight Parallel
J.J. Nelson (#09/20)

Autographs
Ronnie Harrison (#5/99)
Malik Jefferson (#46/99)

and

SAQUON BARKLEY (#52/60)

Overall Thoughts: HELL YES! I always LOVE when you pull the exact card you are targeting! The Barkley is such an awesome looking card. First of all like I said, the matte finish black bordered rookie cards are so cool looking, they are some of my favorite looking rookie cards this season so I was super stoked to pull the auto'd version of Barkley. The Bradley Chubb numbered to 20 is awesome as well. I was going to recommend these boxes regardless of what I pulled because for $30 it's totally worth the gamble. My other autos weren't great and it's a 108 card autograph checklist but for the price and it being a retail product, it's probably the best retail offering there is. You also get 3 numbered parallels a box on top of that. Great value here and highly recommended!

Success/Failure: Oh yeah, big time time success here, and considering it's retail that's even more of a major success.
