The Panini America Sales team sent out the preliminary solicitation information for 2014-15 Totally Certified Basketball this morning and the first sentence in the email is certainly an attention-grabber, especially the term “completely re-energized look and feel.” Indeed, after a few consecutive seasons of a similar-seeming base-card design, Panini America’s creative team has boldly redesigned the annual micro-etched favorite, giving the popular brand a bold new look for a new season.
Totally Certified’s core collecting values, however, remain firmly intact. The base set features five colorful micro-etched variations (Mirror Reds numbered to 135, Mirror Blue Die-Cuts numbered to 74, Platinum Purple Die-Cuts numbered to 25, Mirror Gold Die-Cuts numbered to 10 and Mirror Black Die-Cut 1/1s) and the triumphant return of the chase-fueled Epix multi-memorabilia insert featuring Play (numbered to 199), Game (numbered to 149), Season (numbered to 10) and Moment (numbered to 5) versions.
Other highlights of 2014-15 Totally Certified Basketball include the acetate/memorabilia union of Clear Cloth, the on-card autographs of the venerable Rookie Roll Call insert and a 20-card short-printed subset featuring the game’s biggest superstars.
Each box of 2014-15 Totally Certified Basketball (five cards per pack, four packs per box, 15 boxes per case) will deliver one autograph, three memorabilia cards and four parallels.
