Just bought some 2019 today. I think the design, especially on teams with red, looks pretty good (with the huge asterisk that the lack of logos is a big detractor). The backs leave a lot to be desired in a typically Panini way.

A man has to have goals — for a day, for a lifetime — and that was mine, to have people say, "There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived." |

I haven't seen any yet. I may go look if I ever leave work.

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. |

Really fun break. I’d let them keep the logos if they could just make the checklist 3x as big

They're getting better at taking photos where the absent logo is less noticeable. And this was the year of their "deepest checklist ever". Unless there's a Series 2 I dont know about, it's not even close.

I like the Donruss and Diamond King products each year, despite the lack of logos. I really like the throw-back parallels and subsets.

I like the base cards and the R85's. A deeper checklist would have been nice.
Too many parallels of inserts. Took a while to sort and identify.
Very easy to mix up Rapture, Vector, and Diamond if you don't have at least one of each in hand.
Collation is decent in Jumbo, Hanger, and Blaster. Not sure if I'm going to open a Hobby.box.
8 out of 10 for the price.

I really like the Diamond Kings subset this year, love the retro and much better than last year. Although the deep checklist deal is laughable. And I got a holo back, very strange. I don’t think Gwen Stefani got any holo backs though.

The Holo back pun worked (for me at least).
Switzr1, you must give a one week notice before changing your Avi so drastically. I almost didn't recognize you
