Panini Peek: 2012-13 Certified

I understand. I was sort of hoping there would be a bunch of veteran guys who slipped through the cracks :) . Maybe Don Fehr and Gary Bettman?

(And Jon Boutin!)
 
The 'goalie pulls' is a strange concept. Maybe kids will enjoy those? . . If they're willing/able to part with $10 for a pack. Maybe something that would have been better for Score?
 
I like the goalie pulls, its something new, I kinda agree its kinda something aimed at youth, but its new and kinda cool all the same... Panini is really rocking it in the last few months with Prime, Dominion and now the new Certified... hope its outfor expo
 
Looks rather bland and uninspiring, I really loved the first year but Certified seems got worser for every year...of course it's only IMO.

I also want to that Panini will tone down a bit with their parallels.
 
Looks awesome! Not sure what in the world the goalie pulls is though. Seems kind of strange considering it's not GU or Auto'd. I thought before I saw the picture it sounded like an Allen & Ginter rip card type of thing but it's clearly not.

With the tons of luck I've had with certified this year, I will most definitely hope that the luck continues on!!
 
If you read the messages from collectors someone suggested having the alternant team goalie behind the starting goalie which makes more sense. Giving reason to actually pull the goalie out. Something to see in the future probably as Panini liked the idea. Also, some of these apparently have a piece of game used material behind the goalie. So I guess that gives a good reason to slide it out to see if you're a winner.
 
I like some of the new ideas, I do agree with some of the comments about the similar design of the rookies. It reminds me of what ITG has, or hasn't done, the last number of years of Heroes and Prospects, with extremely similar designs from year to year. Wouldn't mind seeing some different designs on the rookies in particular.
