I purchased two boxes of Panini Triple Play from Dave and Adam's Card World's Black Friday sale and I wanted to share the box break with my readers.
Here are the results:
Base Set: 65/90 (72.2%)
Puzzle Cards: 48/144 (33.3%)
Focus: 12/30 (40%)
Baseball 101: 4/8 (50%)
Hall of Fame: 2/12 (16.7%)
When I Was A Kid: 2/10 (20%)
Real Feel: 1/6 (16.7%)
Eye Blacks: 4/6 (66.7%)
Tattoos: 5/5 (1 extra) (100%)
Stickers: 6/30 (18 doubles!!!!) (20%)
Hat's off to Panini for mastering the art of a card product that is designed for younger collectors but still a LOT of fun to break for adults. I love the pictures on the cards, they are a cool representation of the player and help to overcome the lack of team logos on player photos (downside of other Panini products). The tattoos and eye blacks are awesome and really play into the products younger collector focus, but I will DEFINITELY be wearing my eye blacks and tattoos even though I'm 33 years old.
Now the downsides: After two boxes, I still need 23 base cards to complete the set so I'm a little disappointed with the collation of the overall product. The base set is 90 cards and I would think it should be completed within two sets. The sticker collation is pretty bad, 18 doubles in my first box and a similar situation occurred in the second box.
