2011 Playoff Contenders is a messy release. One thing Panini does do wrong is excessive parallels. Topps makes a bunch of these, too, but Panini kept an awful tradition from the 2000s-era Donruss/Playoff sets by making way too many parallels. And Contenders is really confusing; I need a spreadsheet or organizational chart or something to figure this out.
What I do know, though, is this Prospect Championship Ticket is a legit 1/1. Probably one of ten 1/1 versions of this card (shades of 2005 Diamond Kings!) but it is a 1/1.
And I love the Chargers uniform. I want to start a collection (maybe someday) of different teams' uniforms - minor leagues, colleges and universities, high schools, semi-pro, you name it. Maybe someday.... maybe someday.
Interesting collection idea. Best of luck should you decide to pursue it. As for Owens... did you buy or pull this card? If you bought it... was there a reason behind it?
ReplyDeleteI bought it... well, won it in an auction. It's just going straight to my type collection, and anytime I can add a 1/1 to my collection at a decent price I'll do so!
DeleteLol..I was just about to say that! Henry Owens seems to be the scourge of the collecting world, but a 1 of 1 is a 1 of 1. Nice card!
ReplyDeleteOne of one's won one of ones might be but one one of one one won.
