2012 Panini Triple Play Box Part 1


I saw these cards quiet a while back and really liked the look of them. I won't go into the details again about my angst  ridden search for these cards. When I did eventually buy them for DandAcards, unable to find a seller over this side of the Atlantic, they cost a little more than I intended. Fast forward a few weeks and there they are available from a seller in Germany. Sods Law once again.
As someone has already pointed out- at least I have 24 packs of cards to open and that is priceless.
I intend to open these 7 card packs in 4 groups of 6 packs, in the hope of not just finding Red Sox but completing the whole set.
There are 90 base cards to collect, 144 puzzle cards(making 16 larger pictures)
There are Inserts available;  30 Focus, 9 Baseball 101, 12 Hall of fame, 10 When I was Young and 30 Stickers.
There are 5 different 'Feel Real' relic cards linked to no specific player.
There are random tattoos and eye black too
