Gallery: 2010-11 Playoff Contenders Patches Basketball Rookie Ticket Variations Pt 1

[The Question]

Of the*myriad compelling*components built into*2010-11 Playoff Contenders Patches Basketball, perhaps the one generating the most pre-release buzz is*the completely overhauled Rookie Ticket Rookie Card subset.

More specifically, the Rookie Ticket’s namesake team patch logo variations that give each of the 50*rookies in the set two distinct variations. While the*base team logo version for each player*serves as the product’s standard Rookie Card, it’s the*alternate team logo version — sporting*seldom-seen secondary*NBA team logos — that provide the subset with a short-printed chase.

It’s worth noting that each variation sports a different card number, giving each rookie in the set two*different*base cards for collectors to track. The hunt begins in earnest tomorrow,*when the product goes live in hobby shops across the country.

To help you become familiar with*what exactly you’ll be looking for,*we’ve put together this partial gallery of logo variations for 15 teams. We’ll profile the other 15 team variations later in the week. Until then, enjoy the hunt and get more information on 2010-11 Playoff Contenders Patches Basketball here and here.
