2024 Panini Impeccable Baseball base set

We don’t know yet how large the 2024 Panini Impeccable Baseball set’s base set is, but we know that it’s far from the main attraction here, playing second fiddle to the autographs. The checklist consists mostly of prospects and retired players, but a few major leaguers, including Bobby Witt Jr., are included as well.

2024 Panini Impeccable Baseball inserts

Inserts add another layer of chase to the product, with several inserts offering a “metallic” theme (including some precious metals).

Silver & Gold Cooperstown cards don’t have ink, but they do have actual silver or gold bars embedded in them and feature members of baseball’s Hall of Fame.

Silver & Gold Rated Prospects also have real gold and silver, but feature top prospects from across the game.

Stainless Stars are printed on real metal stock.

2024 Impeccable Baseball value

The 2024 Panini Impeccable Baseball release is a brand-new product, so there’s no history to look at for potential value. That said, Impeccable has produced basketball, football, and soccer cards for several years.

Of course, there are differences to be considered. First, the other Impeccable brands are licensed products, whereas baseball is unlicensed. Even though they are licensed products, these other sports struggle to provide good value or be suitable investments.

Check out recent Cardlines reviews for Impeccable releases in basketball, soccer, and football to see what I’m talking about.

I will say that $500 for 5 unlicensed autographs doesn’t ring of “value” to me. That being said, these are nice-looking cards, and most of the autographs are on-card. If you like the look of these, and an unlicensed card doesn’t turn you off, these might be a fun break.

From a value perspective, however, it is hard to go into a break of these expecting to make your money back.

2024 Panini Impeccable Baseball pros & cons

Every product has pros and cons when deciding whether to purchase or break them. What are some of the pros and cons of 2024 Panini Impeccable Baseball?

Pros

These are clearly a premium product, with on card autographs and 5 autographs per box.
If you don’t mind an unlicensed card and your budget allows, these could be a quick, fun break.

Cons

The price point is high for five unlicensed autographs, regardless of how nice they look or how premium they are.
While there are some big names and top prospects here, the chances for a good return on investment feel lower than with many other baseball products, especially licensed products.
In an already packed release calendar, is there room for another high-end baseball product? Time will tell, but the odds don’t look great.

Final thoughts on Panini Impeccable Baseball 2024

2024 Panini Impeccable Baseball is new for 2024 and features 5 autographs per box. But is there room for a high-end, unlicensed, prospect-and-legends-driven product on the baseball calendar? I have my doubts.
