In honor of tomorrow night’s 2012 NBA Draft (and in honor of the the unmistakably exciting fact that the product releases one week from today), we thought the time was right to bring you just some of scintillating sights from the 2011-12 Limited Basketball QC process that took place earlier this week. Panini America NBA Brand Manager Keith Hower was nice enough to share some early glimpses of the goods from a truly dynamic product that is equipped with vibrant, team-color-coordinated base cards, nice black-and-white effects on the retired stars, deft design touches, and healthy doses of memorabilia and autographs from a generation-spanning checklist.
I could probably go on and on, but my words are not what you want. What you want is these pictures . . .
THAT right there, is a really nice, well thought out set!
I REALLY like the base set, Masterful Marks, Glass Cleaners and Retired Numbers. Not a fan of the Legends, or maybe I don't agree with Penny, Kerr & Nique as a Legend. Bring out a set of the 50 Greatest Players!
Do we know if the relic pieces and patch pieces are game/event worn?
11/12 Limited Hockey is still my pick as the best looking set of the season, and these certainly improve on the design with some nice foil finishes and layout tweaks.
The spotlights look a million bucks compared to the hockey ones.
I will have them shortly approx price $120 per box give or take $5. Only have a couple of cases so they will go quickly. Also getting ready to issue Who Dat Membership cards. These will get you discounts and prefered status on boxes / cases as well as random monthly draws. Will post more as the cards are ready.
