The Panini America NBA team was hard at work over the weekend putting the finishing touches on packout for 2013-14 Gold Standard Basketball. As a result, my email inbox received a welcome dose of images from NBA Assistant Brand Manager Cory Hollingsworth, who was nice enough to share some flat-out sick images of a few patch cards that were randomly inserted into the product on Saturday afternoon.
The Panini America NBA team was hard at work over the weekend putting the finishing touches on packout for 2013-14 Gold Standard Basketball. As a result, my email inbox received a welcome dose of images from NBA Assistant Brand Manager Cory Hollingsworth, who was nice enough to share some flat-out sick images of a few patch cards that were randomly inserted into the product on Saturday afternoon.
Included in Hollingsworth’s email were some true multicolored marvels featuring some of the greatest players of all time — and his email included just a small fraction of the patch cards available in 2013-14 Gold Standard Basketball. Black Golds. White Golds. Bullion Brand Logos. They were on beautiful display Saturday. Now they’re on beautiful display in the gallery below.
Enjoy the sneak peek and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for a complete Quality Control Gallery soon.
Hang on while I pick my jaw up off my keyboard….. WOW!!!! Some sick stuff! Love the way they’re all HUGE relics!
Whoa. I get the feeling you guys have your finger on the pulse of the end consumers. Nice work delivering what we are all clamoring for. Setting the bar on mid to high level items and the kind of patches that SHOULD be in that kind of product.
Nice work and glad to be a Panini Fan!
That “Black Gold” subset has been improved every year of Gold Standard! Can’t wait to group break this at a real life hobby shop in Woodland Hills, CA @Wax Czar!
Sickness!!! This is my favorite patch set ever, outside of the Flawless jumbo patches.
Please bring back the NFL gold standard!!!!! Not a basketball collector but this product is gorgeous.
agreed
WOW…. beautiful!!!!
awesome/ are there still solid gold 1/1 cards ?
The hit’s keep coming! The Gold standard has a classy look & amazing pieces! I was loving the old school Donruss release & now this! This is a great way to start my day mahalo! The bird’s are singing & it is another day in PARADISE! Panini is killing it with gorgeous product’s I love it aloha!
yeah!
Looks good!
Sick looking cards, awesome looking, Panini has set the bar high once again…..I mat have to get in on a case break.
love these. WOW is about the only word that seems to express what I am feeling. Is there still going to be the gold pieces? would love to see 24K gold pieces that would be sick!!
Wow, those relic cards look awesome.
I think that Drexler patch made me shed a little tear… I want it more than anything I’ve ever wanted in my entire life 🙁
Very very nice! I live the addition of the borders around the patches for this year
Do Ersan Ilyasova or Larry Sanders have any sick patches/tags in Gold Standard this year??
Is my boy Gordon Hayward is on any of the set (Black Gold, White Gold or Bullion)?
How about some sir Charles Barkley patch autos?
These look awesome, Not drastically different from previous Gold Standard editions, but different enough to stand out. People who hate on these are crazy, probably the same people pumping low quality reprints 🙂
BOOM…sick patches
Those are fantastic, thanks for the preview Tracy!
Holy Patches Batman! Outstanding!
Sneak Preview event is going to be sweet this weekend! Come on Bullion Brand!
wait up while i pick up my jaw! absolutely frigging SICK! Man, what a coup it would be to score that MIKAN Patch….
Oh Geeez! Just had a seizure..from looking at all the disgusting putches!
These are bloody fantastic, year in year out Gold Standard just delivers!
All patch cards look perfect! hopeful I can hit one of them.
So far already got one golden season curry from a group break.
