GEMS AND THE DIAMOND

2021 PANINI FLAWLESS BASEBALL

Autographs, premium memorabilia and gems — the 2021 Panini Flawless Baseball checklist encompasses all of these things. Panini’s luxury-level release delivers all three in each ten-card hobby box with seven signatures, a pair of relics and one gem card.

While 2021 Flawless has a lot of autographs, you won’t find them in the base set. Like all the brand’s sets, the have gems instead. €is gives them some flair and fits the brand’s prestige.

In addition to regular player cards, the checklist has three subsets: Legends, Rookies and MVPs.

€e entire base set has four parallel tiers as well.

AUTOGRAPHS, MEMORABILIA CARDS AND MORE GEMS

Patch Autographs and Rookie Patch Autographs both come with on-card ink and oversized swatches.

Past, present and future are all part of Signature Prime Materials, another autographed memorabilia insert set. A sample of signers includes Bo Bichette, George Brett and Adley Rutschman.

Flawless Signatures has more than 30 different signers on its checklist. Greats and Hall of Famers reside in Legendary Signatures.

Dual Signatures pairs up autographs from two players. Combos are a mix of current and retired players.

Some of the memorabilia cards bring unique pieces of gear. Spikes, Bat Knobs and Bat Barrels are among them.

€e base set isn’t the only place to find gem stones. Some scarce inserts use several stones to highlight some of baseball’s biggest achievements. Cal Ripken Jr.’s consecutive games streak and Nolan Ryan’s seven nohitters are among them.
