It's hard to believe that almost five years have passed since Panini America first introduced the basketball collecting universe to the brilliance of Prizm Basketball. The brand first enthralled collectors with a rainbow array of Optichrome opportunities during the 2012-13 season. In the years since, it's become one of the most popular annual releases in the Panini America NBA portfolio.

It’s hard to believe that almost five years have passed since Panini America first introduced the basketball collecting universe to the brilliance of Prizm Basketball.

In early November, Panini America will pay tribute to the brand’s brief but vibrant history by injecting 2016-17 Prizm Basketball with a special fifth-anniversary insert and the usual arsenal of visually arresting parallels. Get all of the pertinent information on this year’s release after the jump.

  1. Please don’t put patch cards or horizontal autos in this. Keep this product consistent with what it is.
    Use the horizontals and patches in other products.

  2. Sidways autos and memorabilia? Prizm has a standard, let’s stick to it–you’re taking a step backwards with this one and moving it towards every other Panini product.

  3. You should have kept the design the same as last year. You are losing what’s unique about PRIZM, which is a simple and clean chrome look.

  4. please reconsider the design keep it simple its was a very nice looking last year. please please dont ruin this years prizm. This is the rookie card to get!!!!

  5. Agree with everyone else, wish they didn’t do the horizontal and patches in this. Sleek and simple chrome designs with just the typical autos is way to go.

  6. Looks as good as always, and if we get a checklist the same size or bigger than last year’s it’ll be all the better. I’ve never done a box of Prizm, at least in the NBA, but maybe I will have to this year to celebrate the 5th anniversary of not only the set but of my return to the NBA – I’m still kicking myself for leaving the sport from 2006-12. I now consider it one if the biggest mistakes of my life…but coming back one of the best decisions. I digress (LOL)

  7. Please not! Keep that straight and simple design.
    We Do not Need more products with jersey or patch cards…..
    If it stays like shown i will no longer buy it…
