Thought that Id start this topic to gauge others opinions on what was your favourite NBA release so far this year.
Dont get me wrong. For me at least, I think overall Panini's releases were mostly awful and filled with pointless numbered parallels to create a false sense of scarcity. And I fear, that after years of Panini's poor efforts, we've started to praise mediocrity. Especially when compared to what UD etc used to produce in the 90s
Back on topic;
I know most people will say Select or Prizm, but for me, my favourite has actually been Innovation.
The Inno inserts remind of the type of flair and creativity from the 90s. They have a nice shimmer to them, and the acetate cards look great. The best part for me is Innovations lack of parallels, which has bugged me all year with Panini's other releases.
Only improvement for me, would've been to include base cards again. I think Innovation have been the best quality base cards in the lower price range in recent years, so it wouldve been nice to have them again.
I wouldve gone for every Kobe card in this years Inno if his stickers werent damn auto's.
Whats your fav and why?
Can be any reason why you like it.
