Licensed or unlicensed that is the question.

I know that many collectors collect Panini baseball issues. While I believe the Panini Yadi cards I have come across are attractive I just can’t buy in to the unlicensed product. I love to see the Birds on the Bat on Yadi’s uni and the STL on his catchers mask.  This is not to say we don’t collect unlicensed oddball issues such as Hostess and 7-11, but these bring back memories of buying Hostess Cupcakes and cutting the cards of the bottom of the box. So for now we will not be collecting Panini. What do you think?
