Panini America officials on Friday morning announced that the company will conduct a unique wrapper trade-in program with the new 2014-15 Donruss Basketball product that released on Wednesday. The program is centered around three of the most spectacular performers from NBA All-Star 2015 in New York City earlier this month — Andrew Wiggins, Stephen Curry and Zach Lavine.
For every 24 hobby wrappers of 2014-15 Donruss Basketball submitted through the program, collectors will receive a three-card pack that includes special 2014-15 Donruss Basketball cards honoring Wiggins (MVP of the BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge), Curry (winner of the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest) and LaVine (winner of the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest) featuring action photography from those three events.
In addition, there are randomly inserted — and rare — autograph versions of those three players on variation cards featuring photography of each player holding his respective award.
Collectors interested in participating in the wrapper trade-in program, which is available only while supplies last, should submit their hobby wrappers (24 for each three-card pack) to:
2014-15 Donruss Basketball Trade-In
Panini America
5325 FAA Boulevard, Suite 100
Irving, Texas 75061-3601
The special three-card packs will begin shipping in April.
Wrappers submitted by hobby shops will also count toward each shop’s grand total as part of the 2015 Panini NBA Starting 5 promotion.
We’ve previewed the LaVine base card above; you can check out the Curry autograph card below. Stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance in the coming days for a complete look at all six cards in the set.
