2012/13 Panini Prizm Basketball Box Break Recap And Review

Often new releases require a year or two to work out the kinks. 2012/13 Panini Prizm Basketball is one of those rare releases that gets it right the first time out the gate.  With a simple configuration and low number of inserts, all that is left is to concentrate on the base cards, which in this case are spectacular. It is difficult to look at these stunning cards and find fault. The truth is, even without the Prizm parallels, this set of cards works on it’s own merit. But add the soaring secondary market values of the Gold Border cards and you have the makings of one the best card releases of the year, Basketball or any other sport.

Though on the high end of the category from a cost standpoint, we classify Panini Prizm as trading cards.  Each box contains 20 - 6 card packs with a promise of 2 autographs, 2 Prizms and 2 Inserts in every box.

Here are some of the cards we pulled.

2012/13 Panini Threads Basketball Box Break Recap And Review

It is hard to find much of anything good to come out of a lockout shortened season, especially when it comes to trading cards.  It messes up rookie cards, forces a smaller slate of cards and tends to dampen enthusiasm.  But that is usually followed up with good things in the season that follows a shortened one.  That is evident in the 2012 – 13 line of Basketball cards from Panini.  Double the rookies, more time given to releases and a concerted effort to bring fans back into the fold translates into great sets of cards and 2012/13 Panini Threads Basketball is certainly one of them.

We classify Panini Threads as trading cards.  Each box contains 24 - 5 card packs with a promise of three autographs and one memorabilia card in every box.

Here are some of the cards we pulled.
