Tatum! I don't like the blotchy background though. Reminds me of those psychotic tests you see in the movies where they ask them what do you see?

mindcycle · 07-14-2018, 12:12 PM

What are we up to now? Release #27, 28? So when does immaculate or flawless finally hit the shelves? December?

I like Impeccable, especially the number related sigs, but I fear redemptions are piling up with these summer/fall releases.

oshmeehan · 07-14-2018, 12:30 PM

Meh, another product that my PC guy won't be in so I could care less

dcarado · 07-14-2018, 12:39 PM

Where's that milking gif?

I really used to like some of these releases, and I even think some of the new ones are very solid, like Contenders and Dominion, but it's just a little too much at this point. Can we just get to Contenders Draft?

Agreed.

smalltown · 07-14-2018, 01:29 PM

I'm actually looking forward to Impeccable more than most of the other releases coming out. That said i'm only going to touch singles.

SPauthentic84 · 07-14-2018, 01:34 PM

Seems like a great time for a release

Easily one of the nicest sets Panini produces. People will find a way to complain though.

plasticmoz · 07-14-2018, 02:19 PM

It's easy to complain when the designs are tired, unimaginative and more importantly – overproduced.

You could come out with a set where all the cards are made out of pure gold and someone would still have something to say. “Why does my gold look darker than his gold”

GavinD82 · 07-14-2018, 02:28 PM

Didn't realise Impeccable was considered "High End".....haha or am i wrong?

I actually dont mind Impeccable, i like the idea of auto's celebrating milestones, draft pick selections, all-star appearances and having the cards numbered to that figure. The Silver and Gold cards pretty unique (for a B-Ball product). I know they're only demo shots but the patch size is pretty decent on these, hopefully they keep them to this size or larger.

SPauthentic84 · 07-14-2018, 02:53 PM

For the record, I think these are pretty nice looking cards

My biggest complaint of Panini is when they release their products

KhalDrogo · 07-14-2018, 03:41 PM

Impeccable has a nice design, but again Panini regurgitates the same thing year after year.

Still four months away from Flawless.

All I see are insects and bugs from those test.

M4YH3M1 · 07-14-2018, 04:46 PM

Impeccable was my pick of the NBA products last year.

Exceptional first release. There is just something about that design that I love.

Could have thrown 90% of their 17-18 products in the junk pile, but this is one I would buy!

CardBoard4Life · 07-14-2018, 06:10 PM

I like that they combined a large unique photo with On-card, and a framed patch/swatch. Looks like they are at least trying to get the proportion right. I mean, how much creativity can possibly be left? My hot take? In the future all cards will COME graded.

ThoseBackPages · 07-14-2018, 06:40 PM

FOTL?

Skybox · 07-14-2018, 06:47 PM

Thought Panini would release Imac or Flawless prior to the National ... guess I'm wrong

I agree with this 100%. I'm looking forward to much of these 17-18 products still left but the fact we are in July with the Nationals coming up and we still have 9 products left for this year is absurd. Not to mention most of these products are of the higher end variety. They need to be spread out throughout the year and not all at the very end.

Products still left-
Immaculate
Flawless
Impeccable
NOIR
Opulence
Spectra
Cornerstones
Crown Royale
Vanguard

Giantrobot · 07-14-2018, 11:27 PM

The 18-19 rookies have been playing summer league for a couple of weeks, and LAST years products are still being released......that really is ridiculous.
