Panini America Provides Detailed First Look at 2014-15 National Treasures Basketball
High-end hoops collectors, rejoice. One of the most iconic super-premium products in trading card history is gearing up for the 2014-15 season — and when 2014-15 National Treasures Basketball arrives in late July, it will be safely steeped in the rich autograph, game-worn memorabilia and Rookie Card content that has elevated the brand to legendary status since its debut in 2009-10.
In addition to boasting the season’s most sought-after Rookie Cards (the splendid Rookie Patch Autographs), 2014-15 National Treasures Basketball will also feature the return of coveted staples such as Notable Nicknames, Sneaker Swatches, Treasured Tags, NBA Champion Signatures, Colossal. This year’s release also will include — for the first time — college-themed cards.
Each 10-card box of 2014-15 National Treasures Basketball will deliver eight autograph or memorabilia cards. Among the product’s many highlights . . .
- National Treasures’ fabled Rookie Patch Autographs return with five different versions, including Horizontal and Horizontal Logoman variations. All RPAs will be numbered to 99 or less.
- The popular Colossal and Sneaker Swatches chases return featuring the game’s greatest legends and current superstars.
- A bevy of hard-signed inserts, including Game Changers, Colossal Jersey Signatures, NBA Game Gear Signatures, Signature Moves and more.
We’ll have plenty more on 2014-15 National Treasures Basketball in the coming weeks right here on The Knight’s Lance. But for now, enjoy this initial sneak peek.

Just wow!! Can’t wait for this set
Those look awesome! Very nice
Would have liked to see some of the “college themed” mock-ups…
My thoughts exactly! As soon as we can get our hands on those images, we’ll preview them here.
wow! These look sick!
please make sure you put Rasheed Wallace in the Colossal Patch Set! Then i go nuts!!!
I would love to see that Kyrie will sign the cards with that signature not with that ugly one on the Court Kings Sketches & Swatches.
That Auto was a shame.
They look amazing!!!!
So players aren’t going to be signing their nicknames anymore then? All we want is a card with a nickname AND their signature but nobody (either the athlete signing or you designing/instructing) can ever seem to get that right.
Also
I have to agree with Hairy – if you print the nickname directly on the card, it just becomes another autograph set….nothing special. WIth “The Worm” or “The Glove” or “The Waiter” or “Black Mamba” actually signed by the athlete, it’s a very special set. What happened?
…also that posted before I actually clicked…
Why MORE parallels??? Rookies don’t need any more, for crying out loud must you parallel every single damn thing??!!
I feel your pain with the parallel’s! in my opinion Select took a big step backwards this year, even though there is some nice patches.
Please tell me there is a Wade NBA champs auto, cause that will be the card i’ll be searching for!!! I know these are only mock up but good work on the patches this year been some nice examples in Select and some of the ones from Immaculate are insane.
Thanks for the preview.
Reblogged this on Locating Frankenstein's Brain.
Parallels everywhere. How about doing 2 sets with Rookies pictured in their home and road jerseys, numbered /1 /5 /10 /25 /49 /99 /199?
The market is filled with RPA, let’s dilute them further!
Hopefully the pack out process is better than that of Immaculate. At $500 a box for that, it was some of the worst box breakdowns I have ever seen, especially from Panini. I’ve always enjoyed the National Treasures line, but will have to admit, I’m a bit apprehensive.
NT in any sport is a collection centerpiece, these early images definitely prove that. Thanks Tracy!
Will there be any Dual Logomans this year? I don’t know why it was included last year but it was a very popular set.
Hope the RPA’s will have nice patches /99 like the three years prior to last year. One colours or jersey number two colours just aren’t acceptable for NT
Can’t ever afford it….but it sure does look purty!
Pulled a Jalen Rose Bulls logo tag auto 1/1 a few yrs back. Hope I pull another great 1/1 piece this yr!!! Expensive but definitely a GREAT product.
Stunning ! Great job… Please some how some way try and find a way to put Jordan Clarkson with a RPA Patch! only sp authentic of the All Rookie !
2 Rookies with no Rpa patch in any product Jordan Clarkson all 1st Rookie Team Lakers Patch and Nikola Mirotic both of these players would push this product to so much higher levels a Lakers Patch and Chicago Bulls patch
Stay tuned . . .
Tracy … can you confirm if Jordan Clarkson will have his first “RPA” ? I promise this will be my last post besides my countless email’s to David 🙂
Im so confused anymore as to which rookie card is a player’s best. I wish you wouldnt have diluted the rookie card with all those parallels and let us chase “THE BEST” rookie card of a player.
1986 Fleer Sticker, 1984 star XRC , 1986-87 Fleer, those are just a quick example of Rookies from the Jordan Year and each one has it’s own set of collectors choice… same will be said with these products as well down the line it will be preference some collector’s today may collect the Prizm as it is the new Topps Chrome, some may prefer the Treasures as it’s relevant to Exquisite IMO, just food for thought
Tracey ! When you said stay tuned … you were not kidding ! The Mirotic looks incredible ! Beautiful cards and the clutch shots are going to be such a nice set to build $$$ …. lastly, now that the Mirotic “Rpa” is in the product, how about the “Jordan Clarkson:” his base auto out of /99 is going nuts in Immaculate it would be a shame if his only patch auto is the SP Authentic please help! do not let them win this battle 🙂 locked in for 4 cases, Clarkson would make it an even 10 🙂
