Group breaks have been a game-changer for the card industry for several years now and from time to time Buzz will jump into a BlowoutTV break of some type and break down the results of what he landed by picking up a team. There are near-daily breaks right here with Matt on Blowout TV during weekday working hours and even more from Houdini and others over on the forum in the evening.
Now, it's time for this post's break breakdown -- a spot in a 2020 football card mixer.
INSIDE THE BREAK ...
The Products: One 2020 Panini Mosaic NFL mega box, one 2020 Panini Phoenix Fanatics set, one 2020 Panini National Treasures College Football box
The Breakdown: Only guaranteed hits in National Treasures
The Price: $32
The Team Buzz Landed: Baltimore Ravens (via random)
Grab Your Own Box: 2020 NFL boxes are here
Initial Reaction: The set's Rookie Card presence helps a lot here with the hit draw being the NT stuff ... so it felt safe. Landing the Ravens meant some big-hit potential here.
--
WHAT BUZZ LANDED ... (see everything in gallery below)
Total cards: 9
Base: None
Veterans/retired (0) – Jackson is from a SP subset and see below.
Rookies (0) – All cards are parallels in Phoenix set.
Inserts: 9
Mosaic Pro Bowl (SP) (1) – Lamar Jackson
Mosaic Will to Win Green Mosaic Prizms (1) – Lamar Jackson
Phoenix Fanatics Fire Burst parallels (3) – Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram II, Marquise Brown
Phoenix Fanatics Fire Burst Rookie parallels (4) – J.K. Dobbins, James Proche, Patrick Queen, Devin Duvernay
Autographs/Memorabilia: None
Final Thoughts: This was a cheap (fun) break so the results aren't bad -- three Lamar Jackson cards and one that, if graded, is a $100 card (asking price) on eBay (due to a low pop PSA 10 on that Green). Realistically, it's a card that would cover it all if slabbed. The Phoenix cards are a solid draw for me in this set-up as long as you land a team with some volume (I did) and key rookies' teams here made this break a no-brainer. I definitely could have landed a worse team I know that. The NT hits may not be the priciest versions if you land them but as part of a $32 mixer those teams that landed stuff should have come out just fine with the safety of what's in Phoenix. I'd probably do one of these again despite being hitless this time.
Product Grade: A-
Break Grade: B (good team, good Jackson presence but needed more to wow me)
