  • 10-11 Panini Season Update Basketball


    Configuration: 24 packs per box. 10 cards per pack.

    BOX BREAK
    - 1 Autograph
    - 3 Memorabilia Cards
    - 14 Insert Cards
    - 240 Cards Per Box!

    HIGHLIGHTS

    - On-Card Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant Autographs
    - More than 1,000 On-Card Autographs updating previous Panini releases from the 2010-11 Season
    - Green Week featuring swatches of Jerseys worn during past Green Week games
    - Find Dual (#'d/99) and Triple (#'d/49)Rookie Autographs
    - Rookie Challenge Materials -Swatches of Material worn in All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge Game (#'d/799 or less)

    This was a popular product and concept with a lot of collectors last year. How will this year's installment differ -if at all -from the debut release?
    Last year's NBA Season Update was a solid building block that we would like to expand upon this season.The Rookie Challenge, Rookie Duals/Triples and updated Prestige and Rookies and Stars cards will return.Lakers Legacy and Christmas Cards will be swapped out this year with the Throwback Threads, All Stars and Green Week inserts taking their place.The latter two will feature materials that can be linked back to specific games -2010 and 2011 All-Star games and 2009-11 Green Weeks respectively.


    WHAT WE PULLED

    BASE



    PARALLELS



    ROOKIES



    INSERTS




    GAME USED





    AUTOGRAPHS





    FINAL THOUGHTS


    Design
    The design is fairly basic, but this is a lower end product. Anytime you can incorporate team colors into the color scheme of the design, that is a great thing. A condition sensitive basic design, but it works well.


    Checklist
    The perfect set for team collectors, set builders, or hard to find player collectors. Multiple players from each team. A wide and expansive checklist covering the majority of the players in the league.


    Value
    For the cost per box, you can't beat this. For about $50, you get at least one autograph and 3 game used relics with 240 cards per hobby box. This is a great product for just about every type of collector out there. Some boxes could contain more than the advertised 4 hits, which is always welcomed when a lot of products sometimes come up short a hit. It will be hard to pull something worth big money, unless you are lucky enough to snag a Kobe Bryant auto. The number of pulls and nice autographs that can come out of here makes it worth buying a box. Low numbered parallels are also a welcomed addition.


    Overall
    Overall, this is a fun break with a ton of packs and cards. The design is what you’d expect from a lower end product, nothing flashy but just solid all around. The checklist is large at 200 base cards plus a ton of subsets to collect. This product is great for first time collectors, set builders, and those looking for a fun break of licensed NBA trading cards.


    Pros
    • Complete Player Checklist
    • Value per box
    • Great for set collectors

    Cons
    • Chipping/condition sensitive


    RATINGS

    Value = 5
    Innovation = 4
    Fun and Experience = 5
    Rebuy Value = 4


    I give this product an A- for Panini!

    Congrats on pulling a Cousins Auto! Last year I liked the Lakers Legacy Inserts. This year I like the look of the Rookie Challenge Inserts.

          I thought the overall design was decent, however on the All-Star GU cards, they are not up to date. I pulled an Amar'e Stoudemire, and it was pictured as the West All-Stars. These must be pictures from the previous years All-Star Game.

            Nice cards, and great review. One thing I noticed, and it may be me, a couple of the images (the inserts) did not show up for me. All the others were fine, but those came up as the infamous 'RED X'!

                Schwood - all images show up for me. It may just be the settings on the web browser that maybe blocking a few of the pics.

                      Thats a good product for its price, lots of the boxes had many more than the guaranteed number of hits. Nice pull on the Cousins auto!
                      I am looking for: JJ Watt, Kawhi Leonard, George Springer, Carlos Correa, Jose Altuve, Panini Points...
