Panini America Previews Rare Micro-Etched RCs of the New 2014-15 Threads Basketball
At some point later this week, if it hasn’t arrived already, Panini America’s 2014-15 Threads Basketball will start hitting exclusively in Target stores packing three unique packaging configurations (Premium Boxes, Blaster Boxes and Gravity-Feed Packs) and a bevy of exclusive content featured in all three SKUs. Yesterday we showcased the unique Wood Rookie Cards exclusive to the Blaster Box configuration. Today, we’re turning our attention to the Gravity Feed exclusives.
Truth be told, some of the toughest NBA Rookie Cards of the season might just be the Micro-Etched cards randomly inserted into Gravity Feed packs of 2014-15 Threads Basketball. We’ll try to find out exactly just how limited these cards are in the coming days. But until then, sit back and enjoy this comprehensive preview.
Stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage.

The cards look great, but it’s a little disappointing that this late in the year we’re still getting about half the images from the Rookie Photo Shoot, not in game action. (Obviously guys injured all year, like Damien Inglis for example, notwithstanding)
We’ll try to find out? Shouldn’t the PR for Panini know this sort of thing already?
I wish I did.
Will there be a difference between the Premium base and Blaster base (similar to Prestige)? Premium had a glossy finish and blasters had a matted finish
Are there any photo SP variations on the rookies like in other sets? Thanks Tracy!
Pretty cool looking!
So the post still says “We’ll try to find out exactly just how limited these cards are in the coming days”. Any updated info about this, Tracy (or fellow commentators on this blog)?
I searched for “wood threads 2014 -pack”, “leather threads 2014 -pack”, and “micro-etch 2014 -pack” in completed listings on eBay, and the numbers are 66, 68, and 27 respectively, so I guess it’s safe to say that the Micro-etch rookies are the rarest. Anybody know how many are in each gravity-feed box?
