2014 Panini Absolute Football Forum

Hello!

I have several of the retail version of the 2014 Absolute Football.  However, instead of just a plain white background, these cards are dye cut and are of the stars in the first 100 cards in the set.  The information panel for this set indicates that only Rookie cards are dye cut (101-150).  I have seen examples on Ebay of the same dye cut Tom Brady #44, for example, but they are blue or red and not the standard foil on the print.  I have looked through this sites forum and the set and can not seem to find these dye cut cards.  I am usually pretty good at finding these things myself, but not this time.  Can anyone confirm there is a checklist for these cards in TCDB or maybe it needs added?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  

Pretty sure the note is wrong. I think they are all die-cut. I have several on my FS/T list and I'm pretty sure they are all die-cut. Of course, today is my one day in the office so I cannot physically verify at this moment.

The note was just comparing the Retail rookies to the Hobby ones that aren't die cut. The Release Notes on base/Hobby and Retail have been updated.

Thanks Jim!  I bet you are correct.  But it is nice to know you may possibly verify later. I also noticed that the cards pictured in the retail set on the site are not dye cut so it seems that there is a non-dye cut version as well?  Just wanted to note that.  I'll check back again tomorrow to see if it's possible to get verification.  Thanks a bunch!

Oh okay Ed!  Thanks again!

The images of the Retail cards do show that they are die-cut. They are on a white background, which makes the die-cut difficult to see, but if you know where it is, it's obvious. You may need to open the card's page to see, the thumbnails are too small too see that level of subtlety.

The base/Hobby and Retail checklists should be all set after Admin processes the pending image removal IRs. Hopefully adding BOLD to the Release Notes will help, but these Absolute Hobby/Retail sets have been a PITA for years.

I understand now!  Thanks for making it clear and for the corrections implemented. This is what makes the site great.  Good day!
