Panini America Examines Second QC Case of 2014-15 Gold Standard Basketball (Gallery)

January 23, 2015

Panini America 2014-15 Gold Standard Basketball QC Case Two (1)

Panini America’s annual distributor conference came to a successful, productive close yesterday afternoon after more than two days of meetings, presentations, camaraderie and spirited back-and-forth dialogue between Panini America officials and North America’s top sports card distributors.

Despite a bulging itinerary that left little room for downtime, Panini America’s Basketball Product Development team took advantage of the captive audience by offering a two-case preview of the upcoming 2014-15 Gold Standard Basketball that just so happened to be packing out this week.

As a result, the distributors in attendance got the opportunity to help with the Quality Control process. Universally, they liked what they saw in a product they lauded for stronger content and improved aesthetics over previous Gold Standard Basketball releases.

We brought you a card-by-card look at the first QC case earlier this week. Today, we’re bringing you a thorough examination of the second case. 2014-15 Gold Standard Basketball releases in hobby shops nationwide on Wednesday.

Until then, though, take some time to enjoy this . . .

    The Phil Jackson is a nice looking card (on card would have been even better)

    No numbering on the White Gold?

      Everything is numbered in Gold Standard this year. The White Golds are numbered on the back.

    Has Daryl Dawkins always signed like that? That’s quite the signature.
