if I'm looking at thing right, this is a product that features rookie cards for most of this years Panini basketball sets, which apparently didn't include RCs??? It's like a whole bunch of Series 2s thrown together? I get the concept, maybe even like it a little, but how did they release a bunch of sets with no rookies and get anyone to buy them? It's not 1992 anymore!
Also, I seem to remember a similar hockey release, a few years back, coming up in the forums. But I'm not sure it was specifically rookies.
Or did they steal the idea from an 1880 (?) cigarette issue that (maybe) added three presidents over the next few years?
I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
