As summer marches on and fall quickly approaches, basketball fans everywhere are anxiously waiting for their favorite stars to hit the hardwood again. For now, though, there is plenty to be excited about in the world of hoops.

Most notably, the upcoming release of multiple can’t-miss Panini basketball collections. Among them are Origins, Select and, perhaps the most coveted, the immaculately designed Noir.

While there are several reasons to look for these releases, at the top of that list is the plethora of autographs from some of the game’s best players — from up-and-coming stars to legends of the hardwood.

In Origins, repping the thrilling 2025-26 rookie class is San Antonio’s Carter Bryant. Fresh off a brilliant debut campaign, the forward has high-end autograph content waiting to be found in inserts such as National Treasures and One and One. He’s joined by an all-time great in the high-flying Derrick Rose, who leaps off the card in the Flawless insert.

With Noir, there are even more beautiful autographs that can be yours. Leading the way is an exciting crop of rising stars, such as Darius Acuff Jr. in Flawless (pictured below) and Miikka Muurinen in One and One. Bryant also flashes in Noir, along with VJ Edgecombe. The two exciting playmakers both have National Treasures Rookie Patch Autographs that are sure to be among their most sought-after rookie cards.

Other riveting youngsters have auto content waiting to be found in Noir, including New Orleans’ Jeremiah Fears and Washington’s Tre Johnson III. Another legend to keep an eye out for is Boston great Larry Bird, who splashes home must-chase ink.

Additional players with autograph content to look for in Noir include Cedric Coward, Derik Queen, Hugo Gonzalez and Karim Lopez. Look out for similarly sweet penmanship content inside Select as well.

Getting specific, collectors of Origins can look out for this stunning Rookie Auto Booklet Patch Black, which features an oversized Nike logo alongside a contrasting brand message from Edgecombe himself.

That’s only one of many standout Edgecombe cards to look for between the products. Over in Noir, hunt for the below 1-of-1 gems — sure to be among the product’s most coveted cards — featuring the outstanding youngster who’s fresh off an All-Rookie selection and ready to take that next step as part of a championship-contending Philadelphia team.
