Panini America Offers Special Sneak Peek at 2013-14 National Treasures Basketball

CLEVELAND — Saturday afternoon, live from the floor of the 2014 National Sports Convention, Panini America and Layton Sports Cards will team up to unveil one special preview case of the highly anticipated 2013-14 National Treasures Basketball. But since we know not every collector can make it to Cleveland this week, we’re going to give those of you at home a special pre-sneak peek (for lack of a better term) at the greatness that awaits when 2013-14 National Treasures Basketball arrives in hobby shops across North America on August 20.

But we’re not just going to share some sweet new pics of National Treasures in this post. We’re also going to showcase some of the first hard-signed cards that have arrived back at Panini America HQ for 2013-14 Flawless Basketball, too.

In some small way, we hope the following gallery can help give everyone at home a little bit of Panini America’s National Sports Collectors Convention hospitality.

Enjoy, and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage from the floor of the 2014 National Sports Collectors Convention.

It reminds me of the Gold Standard /10 too much.

afrobandit · 08-01-2014, 10:05 AM

Looks like last years Flawless...

xavieronly1 · 08-01-2014, 10:06 AM

Wait... WHAT?

mrveggieman · 08-01-2014, 10:28 AM

Why are they still making 13-14 yet the already have rookie cards of the 14-15 draft class? Let it go Panini.

bballcollector · 08-01-2014, 10:35 AM

Looks pretty good can't wait!

A little bit of originality wouldn't hurt. To much of this "combination" design of past products is getting old very fast...

TheCelticsfan29 · 08-01-2014, 11:05 AM

Trey Burke has a sharp looking autograph

helstad · 08-01-2014, 11:34 AM

Awesome cards, I wish I could afford this.

minnesotachill · 08-01-2014, 12:03 PM

Fewer Logomen, No Combos Logoman, no big dollar rookies, and better releases coming means the box prices should stay steady or even get cheaper.

paul06901 · 08-01-2014, 12:12 PM

YAWN.

NT looks as bland as ever. The shoe autos are cool, but everything else is lame and BLAH.

Flawless looks identical to last years except they stole that one design from Exquisite with the foil corners ... Panini: nice....

The logoman autos look nice, and the acetate autos look REALLY nice. Everything else looks mediocre at best. I'm sure their checklist will be less than impressive, as always... But I'm intrigued to hear about the list of 5-10 HOFer names they gave out as a hint they'd be including. That will be enough to drive people to rip the products, even if they are incredibly lame for the ridiculous price tag on the wax!

Same here. That AD Greats from Flawless is awesome.

Good job!

And you can buy the "flawless" sticker for the brand name.

paul06901 · 08-01-2014, 12:22 PM

meh

mehhhh

Honestly, what is your point? Panini isn't allowed to have a patch window or autograph? They can't keep the same basic look every year for a product? Cause brands like Topps Chrome were sooo different every year. Literally nothing makes you guys happy. If UD released these designs, you'd all be foaming at the mouth.

ichirorox · 08-01-2014, 12:36 PM

Everyone complaining that designs look the same every year must not know a product called Bowman Chrome...lol

The point is to trash the product while getting it cheap for flipping purpose.

rauchand · 08-01-2014, 12:53 PM

Yeah, it's like everyone was complaining that they wish UD had a license and that Paninis design team sucks. Now, they show some previews of cards that resemble past UD designs and its a problem

Let me know if Topps copies from UD's Exquisite design or UD copies from Topps' Chrome printing technology.

Sikkcaden · 08-01-2014, 01:01 PM

Hasn't it been stated that some former UD design team now works for Panini?

I feel good to collect big paycheck from my company while reading forum.

Yourself doing good? Flipping enough card for $50 profit to pay the bill?

airball · 08-01-2014, 01:18 PM

I don´t understand nothing. People like UD design and when panini makes a similar design, should be great! but people dislike, even think is ugly.

LOL.
