I have seen some nice unlicensed issues over the past decade since the limiting of the licensing from the major sports. I don't really collect much modern in the past five years but I try to keep up with things.
The issue in my mind is the lack of creativity by Panini. The designs they use are stale and poorly thought out. Yes, the absolute overproduction from topps by issuing seemingly no less than 100 different Mantles yearly in every set was lame, but I can't see Panini making even 1 palatable card even with a license.
