Even as the 2017-18 NBA collecting season is causing an industry-wide feeding frenzy for the hottest rookie class in years, it’s worth noting that the 2016-17 NBA collecting season isn’t officially over . . . yet. Indeed, the final product of the 2017-17 NBA collecting season releases Friday and it is a doozy: 2016-17 Flawless Basketball. Packaged in its trademark metal briefcases, 2016-17 Flawless Basketball promises to deliver another stunning finale.
True to its pedigree, 2016-17 Flawless Basketball is rich with the kind of collection-making content high-end enthusiasts have come to expect and admire about the product. For 2016-17, company officials have removed the ruby, emerald and sapphire jewel cards and are including nothing but diamonds. The product also includes Reggie Miller’s first Flawless autographs. On average, each briefcase of 2016-17 Flawless Basketball will deliver one slabbed diamond card, one slabbed autograph or autograph memorabilia card, six autographs, one memorabilia card and one additional memorabilia card, autograph card or diamond card.
