09/10 Panini Flagship box break - Box number 3

Well, I broke the box that my dad sent me.  And I still have to say, this is a fun product to bust.  The inserts are great and the stickers add novelty to it.  But I don't need to review the product again, I've done that before. 

However, I'm still on the lookout to finish off the set.  The rookies are only seeded 1 per pack - and there are 36 packs a box.  So if you were going to build the whole set by busting packs, you'd need three boxes or more.  I've done three boxes and I've busted loose packs as well, but even after this box, I'm still just a tad short on the RC's.  My list is linked in the sidebar if anybody has rookies.  And I've got plenty of extra rookies to trade.

But there was an interesting twist to this box.  Which really made the box a lot of fun to bust.

And the twist is that there wasn't a rookie auto in the box.  And that normally would bum me out.  But the box made up for it in it's seeding of insert cards.  I got more insert cards in this one box than in my two previous boxes combined.



This has alway been my favorite insert of the set, the Franchise insert.  And I got seven of them in one box.  That's quite a lot.  I also got 8 of the All Pro inserts, 4 Jam Masters, 3 Block Party, 4 Legends of the Game, 3 Headliners, 3 Artist Proofs and a full 8 of the Future Stars inserts.  Some packs had 3 inserts in them.  It was a lot of fun.  On most of the insert sets, this box alone has given me almost half the inserts I need in the more popular sets.  So all in all, it was fun.  And I'll be sure to thank my dad when I talk to him.

I've pulled good autos from this product before (Tyreke Evans, Dante Cunningham and Austin Daye) - but I've never pulled this many inserts.  Would I have liked the auto?  Of course, but I'm really happy getting 7 Franchises in one swift break as well.

That's cool that your dad did that. Man, this made me realize I still have to finish my set.

Let me know if you end up with any Blazers doubles from this set that you feel like getting rid of.
