2016 Immaculate Basketball Thoughts

ksemmel · 09-07-2016, 10:01 AM

With the product set to release next week what is everyone's thoughts on it this year?

2015/16 Panini Immaculate Basketball Hobby Box - $699.95 : Blowout Cards - Sports Cards and Trading Cards Wholesale Online Store

eastbayak · 09-07-2016, 10:15 AM

$700 pre-sell for five hits and a base card....ouch

dasiegel · 09-07-2016, 10:34 AM

I'm sooped, got in for 2 boxes at a super low price but that was literally all I could find without spending an arm and a leg... wish me luck, I just want something light, like a Zingy logoman...

the27guy · 09-07-2016, 11:00 AM

excited. Want a Towns Acetate /32 (if they're as nice as they've been in past years) and the Lyles logo man auto.

jbarnett83 · 09-07-2016, 11:04 AM

Will be looking for singles for my PC (hopefully in a Suns uni

) $700/box is too high for me and not worth it imo but wish everybody breaking best of luck

3Bucks · 09-07-2016, 11:05 AM

Is there a checklist anywhere? I've been looking but can't find one yet. I think the cards look great, looking forward to some team or group breaks.

Any guesses on how much the Kobe and Shaq dual on card auto will be out the gate?

if live, expect around 1200-1500

if redemption $900 (who knows if it will ever be made or if they use stickers)

Christmas Day Logoman Set has to be the worst list I have ever seen for a set

Looks like they just omitted the top 2 guys on each team.

IndySportsCards · 09-07-2016, 11:45 AM

Rakeem Christmas Acetate here I come!!!

Kobe101 · 09-07-2016, 11:45 AM

Have there ever been duals of these pairs in the past:

Vince Carter & TMAC
Kobe and Ai
TMAC & Damon stoudemire
Nash & Finley

And then Shaq/Kobe and Shaq/penny that is cool

But at the same time looking at that checklist o was thinking of building a potential
Box based on some of the lowere end guys but don't feel like it... But boy it looks like it has the potential to be Brutal

Jin · 09-07-2016, 11:46 AM

Some of the triple and quad autographed sets are ridiculous. However it seems they may have been too overambitious. Week out and still no updates from their blog. Cautiously optimistic.

Ottomatic · 09-07-2016, 12:04 PM

Lots of cool stuff on the checklist.

Also happy to have some nice Otto Porter cards in this.

regularp · 09-07-2016, 12:26 PM

Oh man, if that Kobe/Shaq is live, that's an all-timer.

TWard · 09-07-2016, 12:43 PM

Meh, looks okay.

Really cool to see Marc Gasol with some auto's in this set. Definitely gonna have to pick up a patch/auto #/25.

Also, if anyone pulls the Alonzo Gee Christmas Day Logoman or sees anyone pull it, PLMK.

I would love an acetate Towns RPA, but that might break me mentally and financially. Maybe if I see one around X-mas, then the funds are worth the plight.

Of course, if the RPA's look like the Silhouettes (in terms of stitching versus patches), I'm going to laugh about it instead. No way Panini does that in Immac lol

WaiverWire · 09-07-2016, 01:40 PM

I think this might be the best year of immaculate that I have seen. I have already made a list of cards that I want to get.

Durantula · 09-07-2016, 01:45 PM

My favorite product but way too expensive this year!

I love NT but this is a close second. Looks great but def a monster price jump

tacoma34 · 09-07-2016, 04:03 PM

Geez those duals are nuts, I'm gonna have to try and pick one up if they're on card.

drobfan8 · 09-07-2016, 04:38 PM

Holy crap, this checklist is epic as far as duals, triples and quad Autos go.

Kawhi/Parker/LMA triple Auto
Kobe/Shaq/Horry triple
Shaq/Kobe/Malone/Payton quad auto

plus there is so many more great ones.

I don't get why they've gone with blue and bronze base parallels, bronze won't look better than gold surely?

drobfan8 · 09-07-2016, 04:39 PM

Ok so blue base is /10 which replaces the gold /10, I can live with that.

Looks like there's more boxes this year as there's a bronze base /49 instead of the red /25.

AMAballa801 · 09-07-2016, 04:58 PM

Okay so I hope I'm not reading that checklist right but No Premium Patches Autograph for Porzingis and Towns...but towns has the 1/1 version. I hope they both have cards in this set. One of my favorite sets every year.

The lakers quad autos have me drooling.
Kobe, Shaq, GP, Malone and Kobe, Shaq, West, Magic (wish it were Kareem instead of west)
