2012/13 NBA Threads - Rookies

[Dynothaneboy]

Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me. I've searched all over the net and even tried to contact panini but I've had no luck.

I'm trying to collect the entire set of rookie wood autos, anyway everywhere states that it is a 100 card set however there are 5 cards that don't seem to exist...

Cards - 188 - 191 - 194 - 239 - 245

Can anyone shed some light on this for me please as it seems there really is only 95 cards in the set.

Thanks guys.

Those cards were probably intended for guys like Derrick Byars and Elliot Williams. They had "rookies" in hoops and prestige, but since they had rookie cards previously (Byars in 07-08, Williams 10-11), it would be a cheap move to give them more untrue rookies. Especially since Williams already has a threads auto RC in 10-11 lol. That's probably the case for 3 other players, hence the 5 holes in the checklist. More than likely, new rookies will be used to replace those players in the inevitable Season Update product.
