Fun fact...paninis are the only consistent food that makes me physically sick after I eat one. Delicious, but not worth the trouble. I've eaten 3 in my lifetime and after the third one had me on the edge of death, I decided to abstain any further. I don’t know what’s going on with you a toasted sandwich is f***ing you up, but you should avoid them like you plan to or go to the doctor.

I wish they'd stayed with Topps. Yeah, the real shame is going from Panini which is a terrible company (quality control issues, tons of redemptions, backdooring loads of product hits to Backyard) to Fanatics which is one of the only companies worse than Panini at quality control and customer service. Fanatics is taking over like the NHL jerseys, which Adidas always did a great job on and Fanatics' quality has always been straight up ass. Topps has always had good quality in cards and gets cornered out of their own market by a company that thinks buying rights can replace actually producing a good product.

This thread me to Wikipedia rabbit hole of cards from my youth… RIP Fleer, Skybox, and Dunruss. As a poor kid, I always ended up getting Fleer which was the lower end option in my card shop. But I loved the classy, but not at the time affordable, Donruss look. The Diamond Kings cards. It really sucked to see them die off while the two companies fighting to survive now are both significantly worse than either of these now-defunct companies were.

FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH PANINI NOW OLIVE GARDEN IS MY BEST FRIEND "Sources within WWE indicated Panini was proudy and wouldn't stop giving attitude."

I think my Euro 96 sticker book was made by Panini. I think they made all the soccer sticker albums in like the last 50 years? In the end, it might as well be Vince not liking the name of the company. Must be interesting to work as a lawyer for WWE.

Guess people are releasing unauthorized cards now from Panini.
WWE, meet your match, as a scumbag like company, in Panini.

A whole bunch of Jackson Merrill baseball cards unsigned were recently found dumped in the garbage along with their unsigned stickers. It's on Reddit so I can't post but there are videos out there.

Has WWE found someone to take over making their grilled cheeses without the cheese?

You ever try a fig jam and brie panini?
A bit of prosciutto in there doesn't hurt, either.
