Panini America Provides a 20-Image Tease of the 2012-13 Threads Basketball QC
October 11, 2012
Earlier today, during our preview of 2012-13 Timeless Treasures Basketball, we alluded to the fact that the Panini America NBA team — specifically Brand Manager Keith Hower and Assistant Brand Manager Wes Elliott — spent a good chunk of yesterday quality controlling 2012-13 Threads Basketball.
So in order to properly prepare you for a more exhaustive gallery to come tomorrow, we thought we’d end your Thursday on a high with this brief 20-card primer, an appetite-whetting ensemble of images we hope leaves you perched on the edge of your seat until tomorrow.
Enjoy.

Show some Magic love! 😛
Really like the inserts on these..especially the century Legends..and who doesn’t love diecuts?? So far the NBA lineup for Panini is more outstanding than what the Heat put together on the court
My favorite would definetly be the autographs on the hardcourt wooden floor cards. Do you know what the print run is on those Tracy?
It varies depending on the player. Will try to get a checklist posted tomorrow along with the rest of the QC gallery.
Gee, thanks..lol. Nice guy you are
When will be the release?
Official release date is October 24.
Are the Century Stars laser die cut like in the Prime Numbers FB insert? Seeing how that was done on the video that was posted 2 weeks ago was very cool!
Very astute, Keith. Indeed, those are laser-cut. They look way cool in hand, too. Tough pulls, though.
Looking very fine!
This is a real nice pre-release rundown of the product. From this post it looks like 12-13 Thread’s got a few on card auto sets to choose from, RC auto’s will be serial numbered, simple and nice base cards, clean looking inserts which to me are clearly differentiated from the base cards, SP insert (Century Stars), some game used memorabilia, double RC crop, a reasonable price. I can’t wait to bust cases of it.
Lamarcus? Ah, finally the Blazers love.
