I didn't know what to name this so I went with "pre-release thread" instead of "hype thread" because I don't want to make this that. But I'm more than ready for this stuff. I've been a fan since the initial release of the product back in 2017-18 season and I can't wait to see what Panini has in store for us this time around.
Last season this was by far my favorite product. I'd go as far as saying it was the NBA product of the summer, maybe the best summer time NBA release in years. Just my opinion.
It was so much fun when this stuff came out last summer, I noticed a lot more trading going on and even made a few fun trades myself. It was great for the hobby.
I'm very curious about the "prizm update" and "optic update" subsets. With optic, most of the rookies already have a Rated Rookie card in the standalone Optic release. So, will this be a vet based subset (traded players, players who didn't have a card in Optic like Melo, Christian Wood, etc, etc) or just different images of the rookies who already have Optic cards? Time will tell but I'm hoping it's the former..
Anyways.. Enough rambling by me. Who else is ready for this stuff?
