BACKPanini Peek: 2010-11 Playoff Contenders Patches Basketball
The product formerly known as Playoff Contenders Basketball will boast a new name and a new-look Rookie Card when 2010-11 Playoff Contenders Patches Basketball releases in early February.
Each of the product’s trademark Rookie Ticket Autographs will receive a memorabilia upgrade this season in the form of a manufactured prime patch (hence the enhanced product name) and those Rookie Ticket Patch Autograph RCs will constitute three of the four autographs seeded in each box.
2010-11 Playoff Contenders Patches will carry a $6 SRP (five cards per pack, 20 packs per box, 12 boxes per case) and each case break will yield one or more autographs from a list that includes exclusive Panini spokesmen Kobe Bryant and John Wall, Shaquille O’Neal, dual-signed Building Blocks Black Autographs numbered to 10 or less and Place in History Black Autographs also numbered to 10 or less.
Other product highlights include:
- Of the four autographs per box, at least one will be of a 2010 Lottery Pick
- 200 Championship Ticket 1/1s
- Classic Tickets Prime Material Autographs numbered to 10 or less
- Notable inserts Rookie of the Year Contenders Autographs and Place in History Autographs recalling such odd-seeming draft-day pairings as Bryant and the Charlotte Hornets, Dirk Nowitzki and the Milwaukee Bucks and Pau Gasol and the Atlanta Hawks, to name three
- In addition to autographs from Bryant, Wall and O’Neal, the Contenders Patches’ signing roster also includes Blake Griffin, Amar’e Stoudemire, Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans, Carmelo Anthony, Evan Turner, Wesley Johnson and Brandon Jennings
