Simply put, Panini America’s upcoming 2017-18 Opulence Basketball is . . . “a luxury basketball trading card set.” The product’s just-released solicitation material tells you as much from the top. Of course, one look at some of the jaw-droppers planned for the product and it’s obvious that you don’t need the sales material to tell you that. The cards clearly can speak for themselves in telling a best-of-both-worlds story detailing how the best parts of Gold Standard meld with the best parts of Preferred to create a completely new product.
Set to arrive in hobby shops across North America in early August, 2017-18 Opulence Basketball delivers, on average, seven autograph or memorabilia cards in each 10-card box. The product features the spectacular NBA Finals Booklets that first gained hobby-wide acclaim in Preferred, this time with game-worn jerseys from Game 2 of the 2017 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.
