1. 1/5Panini's attention is too horrible and stressful

   I bought my 2026 World Cup album about 4 weeks ago, and every time I called, they would put me on hold for 15 minutes. Then when someone finally answered, they said I had to wait 20 to 24 business days. Later, through emails, they told me I only had to wait 8 to 12 business days, even though I had already waited much longer than normal. The customer service was horrible, and I honestly don’t know who was lying in that company. On one hand, I’m actually grateful that Panini will stop making World Cup albums because their service is unbelievably terrible. After collecting albums for many World Cups, this was the worst experience of all. I was extremely disappointed, and from now on, I recommend people stop buying from Panini — it’s not worth it.

2. 5/5Nice app and product with great upside.

   Panini is the exclusive license holder for two most popular sports, NBA and NFL, for many years. They have long history, well thought out set compositions, and brand recognition in Prizm, National Treasures, Immaculate and Flawless. They were ahead of NFT movement by releasing blockchain cards as early as Jan 2020. They have 3 kinds of blockchain cards. Preprizm blockchain redeemed from pulls in physical products, Dutch auction weekly which is offered through this app, and digital pack drop, such as S1, S2 prizm. Through this app, one can go to auction with running time up to 3 days and gallery where guys can make offers to showcased cards. Lots of opportunities due to potential growth and crossover and arbitrage from digital to physical ratio. Please follow spinotron on IG if you want to learn more. Join in Panini’s official discord by clicking on his first link in the linktree at bio section there. Enjoy the app, start collecting and investing.

3. 4/5Pretty good app for collecting/transacting Panini NFTs

   Overall the app has seen a good steady stream of improvements since last summer when I started collecting Panini NFTs. The transactions process much quicker than other platforms (e.g., TopShot). There is a bit of a learning curve and sometimes the searching can take a bit longer than ideal but overall it is pretty well organized and the search functionality gives pretty good filters for finding what you are looking for. Would be nice to have some quality of life improvements for viewing your collection “progress” since you don’t have the satisfaction of a physical collection.

4. 5/5Start now! The community continues to grow!

   I think this is the first review I’ve ever left. So I’ll start by saying it’s not perfect.. but they continue to improve it and they take feedback and ideas straight from the community in the official panini-NFT discord.. you should join it by the way. Now, I’ll tell you why I got into it. I’ve loved looking at collections and collecting since I was a kid and I’d go through all of my dads old hockey cards. Then I got into the buying and reselling aspect of it also when we’d go to the old flea market on weekends and I’d see all the older guys bartering back and forth for trades or prices. So that passion has grown with me over time. The way the physical card market is now is ridiculous. Most people are paying $30-$40+ over retail for packs and hangers that have a very slim chance of hitting something big and probably a 10% chance of hitting a card that you can make your money back on. Then you have grading on top of that and if you want your card to increase in value then you have two options BGS or PSA both of which have high prices to grade cards right now and a long turn around. Now… look at Panini Direct. The same Company that prints a lot of the current valuable physical cards is making a digital aspect of the card world. They just updated how the packs work, before you had to buy a silver pack to get a silver prizm or a pink camo pack would come with a pink camo, a green parallel and two base cards. So Silvers are minted to /149 meaning there’s only 149 of them total and pinks we’ll say is minted to 300 and so on(just an example my numbers might be a little off). But now when you buy a pack of the new released sets(select baseball just released and I think Prizm football is coming out next week) any pack of the new sets can pull any insert in it. So you can pull a 1/1 or 1/10,1/100 and so on. Even base are usually only numbered to 2,000 right now. And the market just keeps growing! Floor prices continue to rise, especially on the star players. Cards are selling for $500,$1000,$5000+. It’s a lot of fun and an awesome way to grow a collection and make some money doing it! If you google the discord and join there’s people giving away some free ones here and there! And if you have any ideas on how to improve the app and market if you try it out, then make sure to join the discord and put it in the feedback tab! They really listen to the community!

5. 1/5Buyer Beware

   Can’t do anything with my NFTs. Decided to buy some late last year and had a lot of fun buying them and putting them up for auction. Was a nice alternative to trying to find, buy and sell cards in stores. Then all of a sudden all of my options to set a minimum bid for my cards and/or place them at auction disappeared. No one seems to know what’s going on and panino can’t help me. I have over $1,000 I spent in NFTs that are absolutely useless to me since all my options have disappeared. I have friends with the same phone and same app who are still able to do everything I’m no longer able to do. I have missed out on several events where I probably could have made a nice profit on a card…… but I can’t put it up for auction for some reason. My advice would be to save your money and spend it elsewhere, once panini gets it they don’t seem to interested in customer service.
