December 12, 2012

Late yesterday afternoon, Panini America’s Tracy Hackler and Keith Hower ripped into two early boxes of 2012-13 Limited Basketball, a refreshingly reimagined installment of the venerable brand highlighted by radically redesigned Rookie Cards and the the innovative new revolution memorabilia card concept.

This special episode of Panini Unwrapped highlights just some of the excitement available in Limited’s diminutive but dynamic boxes. You can get more juicy details on the product in the Quality Control gallery, and be sure to check out the complete product checklist after the video.

Also, stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance later this week for a special contest and a chance to win a box of the product as well as a few hits from this break.

First, enjoy the video . . .

And here’s the checklist: 2012-13 Limited Basketball Checklist

    Some very nice hits such as the Luol Deng auto and I really like how Limited offers most cards that are numbered to 399 or less. It gives more incentive for collectors to buy the boxes since there definitely will be hits that are worth keeping for value. Thanks for another great Unwrapped!

    Wish Damian Lillard was in this product. Would love to see him on acetate since he’ll win the Eddie Gottlieb Trophy this year.

    The rookie “$weet acetate” is the most interesting and will be very very sought out there in our hobby world…

    Tracy with the Hot Box. I am looking forward to the scavenger hunt. Cheers guys!

    About the shine on the cards… is there a coating that can be applied to the cards to protect against grubby finger prints?

      Good question. I would assume we’d have already started using it, but I will ask our production folks.

    No one will probably read this, but I was reading Lillard’s wiki and I just thought of this 5 month old video.

    @ 6:00
    “And the card that will be the coolest out of this set is going to be the card of the eventual Rookie of the Year winner”

    If anything, make some unsigned acetate cards and throw them into NT!
