I really like the Springfield Swatches. NT will be improved this year.

k13 · 08-11-2015, 10:01 PM

How many Mikan patches out there?

xavieronly1 · 08-11-2015, 10:11 PM

WOW... 3 basketball posts in 3 days?

Come on...

rauchand · 08-11-2015, 10:25 PM

The springfield patches look just like the patch autos /100 from 12-13 Immaculate, just without a signature.

The rookie horizontal patches look very similar to the premium patches set from 12-13 Immaculate.

Pat3ntP3nd1ng · 08-11-2015, 10:40 PM

I do like the "almost" full body action shots.

tristan20 · 08-11-2015, 11:13 PM

Talk about recycled designs.

Nothing unique at all, Panini needs to fire their design team

paul06901 · 08-11-2015, 11:28 PM

Just lots of filler as always. I guess it's OK, I mean, they need to fill out the product somehow other than the Rookie and Logoman stuff.

This is actually badass:

kenji003 · 08-12-2015, 12:56 AM

that AI... same picture as flawless jumbo patch...really???

rimshaqer34 · 08-12-2015, 01:25 AM

NT looks clean and nice...probably still the best product contender for 2014-15 releases..
But Gala looks nice too, UD Black-ish

rookies · 08-12-2015, 01:44 AM

This looks very bad. Shaping up to be a terrible product for people who dont care for RPA's. Good luck!

inopethflames · 08-12-2015, 02:57 AM

thats a nba finals trophy patch that they cut up on the david robinson right? why would they cut up a card like that and not make it its own special 1/1 card, like in immaculate or something?? there cant be very many of those patches and they cut one up? thats about beyond belief.

i cant see the numbering on that mashburn jumbo jersey, but if they are passing off a jersey with stripes as a patch card, or "prime" card, that is the worst thing ive ever seen. i remember though they did have some player in 14-15 nt where they called a plain jersey stripe "prime", that was in a smaller swatch though.

why does it seem like the larger the swatch area on a card, the more often they put in jersey trim, which just makes it look even more noticeable & worse. also you better hope you get a nice colored shoe piece this year or the value isnt gonna be much at all.

Rabie1 · 08-12-2015, 04:15 AM

Are those the last 3 specific game used patches?

XARZY · 08-12-2015, 04:37 AM

Looking forward to landing an Ewing for the pc

MiracleSports · 08-12-2015, 07:03 AM

WTF Panini? Why ruin such a nice patch on the Admiral? Let me guess: the other half of the patch will be included in 15-16 NT.

benz35 · 08-12-2015, 07:11 AM

i wonder how many people will be dissapointed getting the "JERSEYS" hahah

Rareairx23 · 08-12-2015, 07:12 AM

Ehh not really interested, might pick up some singles but thats about it

Last 2 does not have "authentic game-worn" label...

... and I can't wait for another Flawless FB scandal.

Straight dopeness....can't wait.

kukocitb · 08-12-2015, 10:09 AM

like the game dated GU at the end. Also really like the shoe cards.

Jin · 08-12-2015, 10:45 AM

So... much... trim...

SteveO21 · 08-12-2015, 10:52 AM

Still no Barkley or Reggie. With each passing year, this gets more and more frustrating.

The sneaker swatch from the Payton shoes is pretty badass.

This is actually badass:

how long before patch fakers change 1 color to ones like that. Panic need to start that patch data base

TimmyWeiss · 08-12-2015, 01:31 PM

That Lebron Sneaker card will fetch some big coin.

While it is a nice addition, I prefer my sneaker cards from Exquisite.
