I posted yesterday on the pending release of the thousands of wrapper redemption cards that are flooding the market right now, and we are just starting to get a good look at what each company is doing.
Panini Booth
Basically, anything outside of the main new content they built for this program is complete junk. Manupatches and other stuff not worth your time. However, they did make some nice looking base and base autos. In fact, Im kind of pissed they wasted such a good design a on free giveaway program.

Topps Booth
I love the Ginter minis to begin with, and to add football players to the mix is awesome. There was a HUGE line at the booth from what people were saying on Twitter, so it might just be worth your time to buy the singles on eBay you want.

Upper Deck Booth
Lots of nice autos and from what I am hearing, a lot more to come. The packs are pretty popular because they have potential Jordans, Lebrons and Manziel, where Panini doesnt have those. Not bad.
