Panini Flawless Baseball 2024 base set & checklist

The base set size of 2024 Panini Flawless Baseball is not yet announced. What we do know is that these cards are unlicensed, which means no team logos or names, and only a handful of current big leaguers on the checklist. The bulk of the checklist is up-and-coming prospects and retired greats.

The most exciting component of the base set is probably the inclusion of super limited Gem cards, which are extremely rare, and feature real gems embedded in the card.

These include a variety of precious gems, including real diamonds. Some extra rare 1/1 cards even include multiple gems.

2024 Panini Flawless Baseball value

2024 Panini Flawless Baseball is a high-end, hit-driven product with lots of on-card ink. But are these a good candidate to buy-and-hold unopened? Let’s see what recent comp prices for hobby boxes from the last few years can tell us about the potential for 2024.

YearRecent Hobby Box Comp Price
2024$2,500
2023$1,500-2,300
2022$2,425

Prices are a bit all over the place, admittedly. For reference, the release price of 2023 Panini Flawless Baseball was from $2,000-2,600. That suggests that while there’s some potential here, there’s also plenty of risk. These don’t seem to be the safest product to hold unopened.

What about in terms of singles? What can a look at 2023 Panini Flawless singles tell us about the potential high water mark for 2024?

An Elly De La Cruz Auto /25 sold for $1,100. A Dual Legends /5 of Ichiro Suzuki & Ken Griffey Jr. in PSA 10 sold for $1,000. A James Wood Patch Auto /2 sold for $600. A 1/1 Barry Larkin auto fetched just over $580. Prices quickly drop from there, with no other prices above $500.

Honestly, the high end here feels a bit low for the buy-in price. Perhaps there are significant hits that haven’t hit the market or sold recently, but Flawless Baseball singles sold for significantly less than basketball and football counterparts. The chances at good ROI here feels shaky.

2024 Panini Flawless Baseball pros & cons

All hobby products have pros and cons that you should consider when deciding whether to purchase or not. What are some of the pros and cons of 2024 Panini Flawless Baseball?

Pros

  • For a high-rolling collector who likes, well, rolling the dice in the search for big hits, this product is designed for you.
  • With on-card autograph, large relic pieces, and boxes that are loaded with hits (and potentially real gemstones) these are unabashedly high end, and quite attractive cards.

Cons

  • With a buy-in price in the premium range, these are going to be outside the collecting budget for most collectors.
  • Even if you swim in the deep end of the hobby budget pool, the cost of these boxes compared to the value of potential cards pulled should give you pause. There may be better ways to spend your hobby funds.
  • While clearly premium quality cards with on-card autographs and interesting relics, gems, and the like, these remain unlicensed cards. The lack of current major leaguers and team names and logos helps keep value in check.
  • Does getting a 2024 product as mid-2025 approaches feel wrong to anyone else? The card release calendar has gotten as nonsensical as seasonal beer releases.

Final thoughts on 2024 Panini Flawless Baseball

2024 Panini Flawless Baseball is a high-end, hit-driven product with the chance for real gemstones. But at the price tag, they may not offer up the best value for your collecting dollar, but if the chase for gem appeals to you, these are the product you’ll find them in.
