First Buzz: 2019-20 Panini Court Kings basketball cards

[Giantrobot]

Another vote for the 5x7 box toppers. They were the most artistic of all.

Is this stuff still coming out?

This will be crazy just like the rest.

Mosaic is ugly as hell and people are going nuts for them. Court Kings is actually nice, I can't even imagine.

When you think of Mosaic, think of $$$$$$ MONEY $$$$$$ !!!!

[BobCollects]

Is this hobby only?

"Boxes will carry a suggested retail price of $100."

Remember when this was a thing?...

[bigjbasketball]

Panini put these up in their store today, but there’s no countdown to a specific release date or time yet. BO presale is already at $350 so I’m going to guess Panini will sell these for somewhere around that price. Also keep in mind BO’s pre-order price less than a month ago was $200. I know things have gotten crazy since then, but I thought it was worth mentioning anyway. This is kind of a niche product so if they are selling for way above the original SRP, I don’t know if I see this selling out as quickly as Mosaic did.

Also, looking at the sell sheet, this year’s box breakdown seems way worse than last year. Last year you got two autos and two rookies, and this year it says 2 autos OR mem, which probably means one auto and one mem. And you are only guaranteed one rookie instead of two. Although, I opened one box last year and my two autos were Tree Rollins and a Keita Bates-Diop redemption (which Panini still hasn’t responded to yet), and my rookies were a Troy Brown Jr. Level III and I can’t even remember who the other one was, but it was some Level I or II scrub.

Hobby. The only Court Kings retail options are Australia-exclusive blasters, and that is a vastly different product and basically the most trash blaster that exists.

June 5th release

[KhalDrogo]

Love CK, but would never break it.

[mondogenerator]

awesome, more Paniniations

aka panini variations

im so damn sick of parallels x324235 and 4 diff base RC stamped cards on a single release.

le sigh

[tier1dc]

guesses on what this goes for direct from Panini, $400? $700? $1000?

It’s definitely not a good ROI for breaking, but I might take a chance on one if I can get a good deal from my LCS.

If you don’t like parallels, it seems like this product would be more to your liking. There aren’t 41 different parallels with the same photo like Prizm, there are only 4 different levels of rookie cards that are each distinctly designed, it’s not the same card with a different color or cracked ice or shimmer or disco variation.

Any word on the price for tomorrow? They gouging us or offering it at MSRP for the bots to scoop up in 10 seconds?

100% gouging us. I’m betting somewhere in the $300 range. My LCS is getting some tomorrow, hopefully they can sell for less.

[KhalDrogo]

BO has it for $345. So I’m guessing $300.

[astudillodude64]

Anyone see retail of this hit the shelves ?

[rasclat]

the retail of this is utter trash dont bother.

[Midwester]

My LCS is set at $300/$4800

Are you thinking of 2018-19 Court Kings Retail by chance? (Australia Blaster packs) The retail last year was trash! I haven't seen any breaks of retail for 2019-20...thought this was hobby only this year.

I think this will sell well with 2 auto per box and under $400 (I guess that is a "Deal" this year) on top of the new Artistic card craze.

They are doing the same AUS blasters this year, I saw some pre-sales but I’m not touching them with a 10-foot pole. Also, there are not 2 guaranteed autos per box this year like last year’s hobby boxes. There are 2 autos/mem, which means there are probably a ton of boxes with a dud sticker auto and a non-numbered single color swatch.
