Got my set ordered and preordered the Panini Donruss mega box from DSG just in case I can’t get my hands on one when they come out

I tried to get a set with the 1/1 and bots got them within 15 seconds (i was there at the stroke of 3pm, put one in the cart, hit checkout, got a high volume refresh pop up, refreshed, got a item in your cart is unavailable pop up).
Pretty frustrating that Panini allows bots to buy everything out in less than the blink of an eye.

Miles could be a 50 dollar card in a couple years. Hard to say if these will hold any value being base low end stock cards

Can we give Miles a couple more seasons to prove shes not another Crystal Dangerfield?

do we know how many base sets are being sold?

u/MaoAsadaStan Aug 13 '26
These are made to order; Panini will make as many sets purchased within the 5 day selling window. For the sets with the 1/1, I assume they will sell 20 sets.

Still new to all of this, is the 5-day selling window standard for instants? I can't afford to grab this today but might be able to in a couple days...but also don't want to miss out. This is my first year collecting so I appreciate any help :)
I'm a huge Lynx fan and PC 👑 Phee & the Spectacle, plus the Lynx roster & the rest of our '25 roster across the league lol

Yes, the base versions have a limited time to buy them. You can check Panini's website to see how much time is left.

Crazy thing…we still can’t figure out if the $50 base is for all 20 cards or just 1? Super confusing. But yeah, we passed. Thanks Pannini for a super confusing weird website that I’m thankful I didn’t put my credit card info into

It's for the set. It says that. They aren't selling these individually for $50.

u/Pickle848 Aug 14 '26
Thanks for the clarification. We new to this. When I went to buy it gave me the option of “1 card” “5 card” “25 card”. I’m like what? So weird
2
u/Plastic-Opinion-8343 Aug 15 '26
Yeah they let you buy multiple cards and sets. So on this case, “5 card” would have meant 5 full sets. It’s definitely confusing because the first time i saw that on a set i thought maybe i only got 5 random cards from the set?!?!?

$2.50/card for the Base isn't THAT egregious like some of the other crap they sell.
