2019 Panini Prizm - Neon Orange Donut Circles Prizm

Year: 2019 

Card Manufacturer: Panini

Set: Prizm

Card Number: 216

Card Type: Base Parallel

Parallel Set: Neon Orange Donut Circles

Card Attributes: Serial Numbered

Serial Number: 130/150

From my last COMC order I picked up quite a few of the 2019 Prizm parallels over that last couple years.  The last couple year's Panini has gone crazy with the base parallels with over 40, so 2019's 27 base parallels seems almost tame (not really that's still an insane amount of base parallels).  But that also means I have many, many Yount cards to chase.  Panini also likes to give some of their parallels interesting names like Forest Green Flash, Navy Blue Kaleidoscope, Cosmic Haze, etc etc.  So the Neon Orange Donut Circle Parallel kind of falls into that long weird naming convention, but actually pretty accurately describes what the parallel looks like.

I'll be honest the parallels are pretty hit or miss with me, but this parallel and it's sister parallel the Lime Green Donut Circles really pop and are hard to miss.  I've lamented over how terrible the color correction and air brushing is on Panini cards so no reason to rehash that.  I can see why NFL and NBA collectors really like Prizm though, imagine this card with correct colors and logos (chef's kiss).

 

2014 Panini Hall of Fame - Crusades Orange Die-Cut

Year: 2014

Manufacturer: Panini

Set: Hall of Fame 75th Anniversary

Card Type: Insert Parallel

Insert Set: Crusade

Parallel: Orange Die-Cut

Card Number: 83

Card Attributes: Die-Cut, Serial Numered

Serial Number: 10/25

I was able to pick up 4 of the Crusade inserts from the 2014 Panini Hall of Fame 75th Anniversary Set.  The rarest of the four was this Orange Die-cut parallel card numbered to just 25.   While there are only 25 of these, this parallel is the most common of the die-cuts.  If you read any of my blogs you know I'm a sucker for gimmicks.  So give me a die-cut chromed out card with pretty colors and I'm all over it.  Give me a great price on it and it's coming home with me.

2013 Panini Cooperstown Orange Sparkle Matrix Parallel

Year: 2013

Manufacturer: Panini

Set: Cooperstown

Card Number: 97

Card Type: Color Parallel

Parallel Set: Orange Sparkle Matrix parallel

Card attributes: Serial Numbered

Serial Number: 089/325

The 2013 Cooperstown set is full of color parallels.  And depending on where you turn for your information this parallel set is called multiple things.  Beckett calls it the Orange set.  Fair enough.  Cardboard Connection and Panini's own checklist call this Matrix.  Umm Ok.  Regardless it's still a great looking card color wise.  It reminds me of the sparkling fabric they use to use for padded bar stools and chairs, especially at bowling alleys or that really expensive prismatic paint they use on cars.  Still the card looks very nice in hand.
