2012 Contenders

[ekalb]

Got my box of Contenders from Panini at the start of the week and have just had the time to break today. Results:

All standard, no Variants except for the Branch which is a Playoff Ticket version.
Gerrall Robinson
LaVon Brazill /262
Andre Branch #d/99
Tim Benford
Melvin Ingram
Trumaine Johnson

Josh Cribbs Cracked Ice #d/20 (non-auto)
Nick Foles RPS Auto Redemption /550
Rookie Tickets of RG3, Wilson, Irvin and Turbin

I really can't complain about getting a free box at all! But if i had paid for I would have been a lil disappointed as it was a pretty average box overall. Ended up two cards short of a base set I will have to pick up at some stage for my son (Tom Brady and Pierre Garcon).

All FT except the Cracked ice which i think I will hold onto for now because these do look very cool.

They quite often have competitions where you have to find a hidden picture to win boxes of new release stuff or some of the cards they have busted from boxes.

I've seen plenty worse as well, namely mine. Cracked Ice is a nice get and 7 autos ain't bad either. Some massive hits on offer in this set but so hard to jag. Gunna just ebay some Broncos autos I think. Might also try for the set of Champions & MVP inserts as well. Really nice cards, just a pity that the hits are so elusive.

Yep the Cracked Ice is very nice (especially in hand). And 7 Auto's is always a bonus! Foles is not to bad of a pickup but the rest are mainly so-so types you could probably buy of ebay for $2-$3 each. I have been buying mainly singles a lot more recently, especially with the postal rates being jacked up over here a bit.
