That's a lot of ink. If I am being honest, I have never heard of many of these prospects, though a few ring a bell. Regardless, it was still a fun break and the cards are beautiful and colorful. I am happy to have all of these in my collection!

A brief post, but sometimes those are the best kind.

Box Break: 2018 Elite Extra Edition - The Parallels

A couple of months ago, I bought a couple boxes of 2018 Elite Extra Edition. I was (and still am) on the hunt for a specific player that was featured in the product, but more on that later. 

When I got back into collecting, I stayed pretty far away from Panini. I'm not a fan of the logoless cards. However, some products feature players in either their college threads or Team USA uniforms. I can get down with that. I opened a box of 2016 Elite Extra Edition a couple years ago and enjoyed it. Let's see if this year is similar.

PS - There are a ton of parallels, so I'm not necessarily going to have commentary on all (or any) cards.

Greyson Jenista, Tie Dye Die-Cut #'d 8/10

Luis Encarnacion, Blue Aspirations #'d /99

Diego Cartaya, Blue Aspirations #'d /99

Jose Cosma, Red Status Die-Cut #'d /99

Cal Raleigh, Red Status Die-Cut #'d /99

Keiderson Pavon, Orange Aspirations #'d/100

Tristian Pompey, Orange Aspirations #'d/100 

Carlos Cortes, Red Aspirations #'d/150

Keibert Ruiz, Red Aspirations #'d/150

Brewer Hicklen, Red Aspirations #'d/150

Not too shabby. Lot's of color. I'm a big fan of the sparkly die-cut cards. Also, a couple of the kids featured on the international block look like they can't be more than 12 or 13 years old.

I'll be back early next week with the hits portion of the break.

How do you feel about EEE?
