Panini Select Retail Blaster Box | So many rookie! | First impressions of the Select Retail
15Select Retail from Panini is here. The Blaster Boxes are the first we got with our Megabox order still on the way. The Blaster Boxes and Select Retail differ from the hobby box and FOTL hobby box not only in price, but also the cards. The Select Retail cards are blue instead of the metallic silver the Select cards are known for. The Retail release has caused a bit of a stir, with many collectors unhappy about the Retail releases. Select is not as "select" anymore. But what about the cards? The Retail Select cards are blue and the parallels differ as well. The Retail set has Tiger Stripe chase card in addition to the hyped up elephant skin (Air Jordan anyone?). The Hobby Box had Zebra stripes and Black Snakeskin. The cards are actually not that bad. For a fraction of the cost of the Hobby Box you get the Select experience, and the pulls are not horrible. While you can't compare to the high-end product, the set is loaded with rookie cards and some actually look pretty nice. The flash Prizm is a blaster box exclusive while the Megabox comes with cracked ice variant. Check out the video and let us know in the comments, what you think about the Select Retail from Panini?
