Panini America Offers Detailed First Look at 2017-18 Vanguard Basketball (Gallery)

There was a time in the sports collectibles industry (like 15 or so year ago), when Promo or Sample Cards were as much a part of a new product release as fancily worded press releases and mylar wrap. These so-called Sample Cards were a way for manufacturers to preview the look and feel of an upcoming set. And the more unique the design or the technology, the more the need for the Promos. And so it is with Panini America’s upcoming 2017-18 Vanguard Basketball release.

Record Web Traffic Generates Rapid Sellout of 2017-18 Prizm Basketball 1st Off The Line

Panini America unintentionally created an industrywide furor earlier today when company officials opened up the preorder window for 2017-18 Prizm Basketball “1st Off The Line” boxes, a development that lead to an unprecedented spike in web traffic to the official online store and the Panini Direct app. The result: More than 120,000 web sessions, a temporary decline in website performance and a quick sellout of the product. Clear indicators one and all that the 2017-18 NBA rookie class is going to be a mammoth driver for the licensed trading card market this season and well beyond.
