What’s Buzz-worthy: Panini has had its Americana line on the bench since this release but at its present price, it’s one of those boxes where you can easily come out ahead with the right names. This box over-delivered with three autos instead of two autos and two mem, which probably helped — but this box wasn’t the greatest for my particular collecting wants from this one. There are some good autos in this product — Sylvester Stallone, Bradley Cooper, Al Pacino, James Earl Jones, Molly Ringwald, Kevin Hart, Eliza Dushku, Laura Prepon, Roger Moore, Paula Abdul and many more. As said in a past break of this one here, there are many autos that will pay for a box if you land them and then there are the autos that this box included. Since I didn’t have either one, I wasn’t bummed — but I don’t think I’d want more than one. … These boxes seem relatively plentiful right now and are cheap — but they also could be quietly selling well because of those autos found inside. The eBay prices for the autos are modest, too, but that’s likely because there’s wax still to be found. Once the boxes dry up, these could yield even sweeter results — good luck finding hobby wax for a lot of the past Americana releases. All in all, this is a fun and cheap rip with big potential to help you build an interesting autograph collection.
