COMC Black Friday Haul #45

This card is pretty lackluster, even though it's the Panini equivalent of a refractor.  Oh it's shiny alright, there's just not much to love about this card or this set.  2012 was the first year of Prizm and besides Robin looking like he's playing baseball for a North Korean prison team there's not a whole lot to love about the card.  I will say back in 2012 Panini hadn't quite gotten the parallel bug yet.  There were only 6 base parallels to chase, two of those were retail exclusives to Wal-mart and Target and believe it or not are kind of hard to find.  This card is just the base Prizm parallel or refractor if you will.  It's shiny and doesn't scan well, but at least with the color parallel versions the color adds a little something to what is a very bland card.

I may be in the majority but I really do like all the different parallels I get to chase nowadays. I'll be honest base prizm and the base prizm prizm parallel are pretty meh, but add some color and these card really pop, it even helps take away from the terrible airbrushing and photoshopped jersey colors.

The Red prizm parallel is one of the more fairly common, as these fall 4 per box and are unnumbered and shouldn't be confused with it's numbered cousin the Red Mojo refractor.
