One week from today, hobby shops and group-break sites across the country will be awash with the vibrancy that only a product like Panini America’s Select Basketball franchise can provide. Boasting an intoxicating mix of Prizms (including the wildly popular Zebras and Tie-Dyes), and a bevy of autograph and memorabilia tributes to this season’s top rookies and the NBA’s hottest superstars and greatest legends, 2018-19 Select Basketball — as you’ll soon see — is ready to shine.
