  1. Can we get a print run for Private Signings as well? I know several people have contacted Panini and no one can help answer the question. Thanks!

  2. I really enjoy this concept, Panini, well done. In the future, I’d like to see photo variations covering certain portions of print runs.

  3. Now thats cool, especially if you collect that player! Gotta hand it to u guys your really on top of your game this year,you should be proud! Im surprised know one has thought of this before! This is something that needs to be add to more products in the near future!

  4. It kind of reminds me a little of the Precious Metal Gems of the past where the first 10 were green and the rest were red. Cool idea.

  5. -This is a great idea?
    What about the sp base cards #’ed to 10 is there any difference on those card’s? I looked but they look the same.

  6. I was hoping for JLin variations.

    Dallas Maverick’s Summer League
    Golden State Warriors
    Houston Rockets
    New York Knicks

    that would have been great

  7. That is really cool. I noticed last years Gold Standard had a couple of variations for a few players. Nice to see it for more players, give something extra to player collectors. Nice job!

  8. i think this is amazing idea for the people who PC any of this players,get to have his favorite player in one of the best product ever in all 6 teams he played,6 diferent jerseys!!!!really like the idea.just wish some of them are my favorite players 🙁

  9. Now thats awesome! You guys just keep putting out more and more great products. You keep adding to an already great products and add a tremendous twist to them. Great job with your cards this year Panini!

  10. Love the idea, hate the choices of players!! Shaq is great, but cmon, Gary Payton and Bob Horry???? You guys could have made this soooo much better, by adding in veterans that people actually collect. Rodman, Mourning, Barkley, Stockton, Malone, Pippen, Miller, any of these guys woulda been a better card to pull, and waaaaaaay more collectible.

      1. Lmao thats funny.. i know for a fact ive gotten rodman, pippen, malone, and mourning cards from panini. Just because they arent under contract doesnt mean they dont make the cards. Only ones they cant use are lbj auto and anything to do with mj (i think?)

    1. Im really not complainin just voicin my opinion……. I mean cmon this is Gold Standard we’re talkin bout right?? They’re freakin gold!!
