Mining & Pining: An Early Exploration of 2010-11 Panini Gold Standard Basketball

[The Question]

If I could be recast in card form as any basketball product in the entire collecting universe, I think I’d want to be the breath of fresh air that is 2010-11 Panini Gold Standard*(and I’m not just saying that because I work here).*The uniquely themed high-end offering, due out May 25, is unapologetically*lustrous from beginning to end –*packed with enough luster to sparkle well past its rookie season.

Yesterday we gave you a behind-the-scenes look*at how the product’s peerless*packaging came about. Today, compliments of a fresh batch of proofs from*the veritable goldmine known as the Panini America Routing Table, we offer an extended glance at a handful of Gold Standard’s*myriad compelling inserts,*including Gold Rings, Gold Nuggets and*Golden Age.



Simply, you won’t unearth*another product on the sports card landscape that is*as consistently true-to-theme as this one. It wears its*precious-metal mantra proudly and stands out — and alone — because of it. As you can*plainly see from the pre-productions proofs that follow, that is unmistakably a good thing.

Stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for additional updates on 2010-11 Panini Gold Standard Basketball.
