Panini America officials have spent the last few seasons diligently taking high-end college trading cards to a completely new level. That transformation has only intensified in recent months with the likes of 2018 National Treasures Collegiate Football and 2018 Flawless Collegiate Football delivering a simply stunning array of autograph, patch and memorabilia content. Tomorrow, high-end hoops collectors will find the same to be true of 2018 Flawless Collegiate Basketball, which features on-card autographs from all of the top 2018 NBA rookies in the Rookie Patch Autographs chase.
In fact, every autograph in the product will either be hard-signed or a cut signature numbered to 25 or less. On average, each briefcase of 2018 Flawless Collegiate Basketball (10 cards per briefcase, two briefcases per case) will deliver six autographs, two memorabilia cards and two gemstone cards. New this season are rare Conference Logo, Team Logo, Brand Logo and Final Four Logo patch variations in the RPA set.
Panini America Provides Detailed First Look at 2018 Black Friday Promotion (Gallery)
It’s been called the most successful hobby shop promotion of all time by longtime industry experts. It’s made hobby shops across North America bona fide post-Thanksgiving retail destinations. It’s delivered some of the most unique and sought after trading cards in recent years. And next week it’s making its triumphant return. News flash: Panini America’s 2018 Black Friday promotion is coming.
For the eighth straight year, Panini America is bringing the nationwide shopping frenzy of Black Friday to local hobby shops all over the country with another of its now-legendary wrapper-redemption programs. In the coming days, The Knight’s Lance will bring you everything you need to know about this year’s special event, including preview galleries, participating shop information, iCollectPanini.com components and more. But today, we’re bringing you a sneak peek at just some of 2018 Black Friday’s splendid parallel cards.
When it comes to the major North American sports, none of them do logos quite like NASCAR. From the firesuits to the flashy and festooned fast cars, there’s just so much prime trading card opportunity. And later this week, Panini America officials will release a product engineered largely to take advantage of that fact. Panini America’s 2018 Prime NASCAR Racing arrives on Friday featuring some of the sweetest NASCAR patch cards ever manufactured. As you’ll see below, the product is also rich in on-card autograph content of the sport’s top superstars.
On average, each hobby box of 2018 Prime NASCAR Racing (seven cards per box, eight boxes per case) will deliver three autographs, three memorabilia cards and one base or parallel card. Some boxes will deliver additional content and each box will deliver at least one Acetate memorabilia card. In addition, Jumbo Prime patch cards fall roughly three per case, on average.

Panini America’s venerable Certified franchise has been a trading card staple across many sports for many years, but it’s been done in basketball only once, during the 2009-10 NBA season. In the years since, any Certified Basketball product has included the “Totally” modifier. But on Wednesday, Certified Basketball makes a triumphant return to the marketplace with a stacked 2018-19 edition boasting the fabled Mirror parallels, an array of hard-signed autograph inserts and more.
On average, each hobby box of 2018-19 Certified Basketball (five cards per pack, 10 packs per box, 12 boxes per case) will deliver two autographs, one memorabilia card, 10 inserts and seven parallels. Among the most sought after of Certified’s autograph inclusions promise to be the hard-signed Rookie Roll Call and Certified Potential chases featuring the stars of the 2018 NBA Draft Class.
