Gala Gawking: Panini America Delivers Peek at 2014-15 Gala Basketball Base, Mem Cards

Thanks to a series of tantalizing teasers posted here on The Knight’s Lance in the last month or so, you’ve likely seen enough of the brilliant on-card autographs coming to Panini America’s international-only 2014-15 Gala Basketball to have a good understanding of what to expect from that aspect of the product. But trust us when we tell you: The stuff you haven’t seen yet — primarily the base and memorabilia cards — is just as impressive as the stuff you have. Keep reading and you’ll see what we mean.

With the limited-edition, international-exclusive 2014-15 Gala Basketball set to release in just nine days, we thought we’d take this opportunity to showcase a slew of new stunners — pieces of eye candy one and all from the product’s base set, Rookie Card set and memorabilia roster.

Keep in mind that the Rookie Cards in Gala will be among the rarest in sports cards history (limited to just eight numbered copies). Combine that with the devilishly good-looking base set, the sheer sickness of the Main Attraction, Double Feature and Coming Attractions memorabilia cards below, and the filthy autograph content you’ve already seen, and you’ll understand why 2014-15 Gala Basketball is shaping up to be this summer’s biggest blockbuster.

We’ll have additional coverage of the product in the coming days leading up to the August 19 release date. But until then, grab your popcorn and enjoy this extended trading-card trailer . . .
