2012 13 Panini Basketball Box Break Recap And Review


You have to go back to 2009/10 for the last time that a Basketball card solely carried the title of the brand Panini.  It was meant to be a retail splash to get a mass-market appeal for the emergence of the Panini brand in America.  Since then Panini has brought back some classic favorites from other lines of cards in its library.  The NBA Hoops line seemed to successfully replace the Panini brand line.  For 2012/13 Panini Basketball returns, more refined than before, adding a sophisticated but accessible series of trading cards that still retain a mass market appeal while providing enough heft for a hobby audience.  

We classify 2012/13 Panini Basketball as trading cards. Hobby boxes include 24 packs with 10 cards per pack with the promise of 2 Autograph cards per box

Here is a look at some of the cards we pulled.
