Box Breaks: 2019 Panini Stars and Stripes

 

I bought this for one reason and one reason only, Panini revamped their online site and app and one of things you can do is have your credit card info saved. When it comes to FOTL, time is everything and having your credit card info saved is a HUGE time saver. So I figured I'd make a purchase now in order to have that saved for future FOTL purchases. I chose this because I had a baseball promo discount and it brought it down to about what the boxes are going for online at places like Blowout. I doubt I'll know any of the guys as this is a Team USA product that encompasses their national teams all the way down to the 14 and Under team, plus there are some Chinese National Team cards as well. This is more of a rip and stash product, just like when I ripped Elite Extra Edition during Cardfest. I have no expectations for this at all so I won't be disappointed if it's lackluster. Here's what I got

Longevity Base Matthew Liberatore
Zack Thompson
Bobby Witt Jr.
Pete Crow-Armstrong
Tyree Reed



Longevity Holofoil
15U Checklist (#15/99)

College National Team Black Signature
Bryson Stott (#34/499)


Jersey Signatures
Jack Leiter (#145/299)

Silhouettes
Termarr Johnson (#3/66)


Silhouettes Black Gold
Austin Hendrick (#45/48)


Silhouettes Prime
Duke Eckstrom (#15/25)

Overall Thoughts: I mean I have zero clue. Most of my hits are of 14 and 15 year olds. The Silhouettes are nice and if any of those kids pan out. I like the cards, but it's just too much of an unknown to grade how good this break was.
