I just don’t get Panini putting 2015 cards in 2018 football sets. Whether it be Immaculate, National Treasure or whatever, why can’t they just put cards dated 2018 in the current sets? I just uploaded a card from the 2018 set to the 2015 section of Herschel Walker’s page. The name, card # and serial # all seem to fit. If it’s wrong, one of you guys with permission can remove it. I haven’t been this confused since the 1995 Excalibur days.

yep.. they do thal all the time with Updates. National Treasures too. they need to issue as a completely separate set, like some did back in the day and not part of the current year

I'd like them to do an all-Update set where they put updates for whatever they felt like putting it all into one place. I think that is what Tony is suggesting as well. I have a few cards...printing plates, no less...that aren't on the Database because I have no clue where they should go.

I am also tired of Pannini.  I have been waiting for a redemption of Michael Thomas since Dec 2016.  I am an avid card collector who spent ove $1000/ yr.  I refuse to buy Pannini products until this situation is settled.  I still need around 100 cards to complete my Topps New Orleans Saints collection.  Contacting them has done nothing but raise my blood presure.

Sad thing is, if Panini would stop the Shenanigans and actually put a back on the card that looked good and had stats, the cards themselves usually are nice with great designs, photos, and card stocks (not to mention a unique smell that I like )!!!

I hear you on the Update sets from Panini. I've been trying to compile an accurate checklist for the 2017 Update set and the Tom Brady cards are the one's that are keeping me from uploading the checklist. 

There are two other things I can't stand from them. One has been mentioned by many members. Card numbers on their checklists are not the correct card number actually on the card. The other thing is trying to figure out which variation you have in many different sets. In the Panini Contenders Draft Picks Collegiate set, several players had either two or four versions of an autographed card. In Panini Immaculate and National Treasures Collegiate sets they have added a memorabilia patch from a Bowl Game that player has played in. The insert sets are called Bowl Logo 1, 2, 3, and in a few cases a player has 4 different Bowl logos.

These two links are eBay auctions of Kalen Ballage Logo 1 and 2 same SN of 1/5. I don't see any differences based on the images shown. ASU also complicates this scenario by going to the Sun Bowl twice (2014 and 2017) during his four years at ASU.

I'm waiting on a Chandler Parsons autograph in the NBA from the 2012-13 season. At this point I doubt it will ever show up.

The newest Panini screw up that showed up was a 2018 Panini Majestic autograph card that has maybe half of his signature cut off (at an upward angle) and a portion from another signature sticker on the bottom half.
