Panini Peek: 2012-13 Intrigue Basketball

Let the intrigue begin. In late August, Panini America will introduce the all-new 2012-13 Intrigue Basketball, a uniquely contemporary NBA product that delivers a diverse selection of autograph and memorabilia cards — with the possibility of multi-player patch and tag-swatch cards — and a 100-card base set bolstered by 15 different insert sets.

Configured in two-pack metal tins, each tin will deliver one six-card pack of Intrigue cards and a second five-card pack of Intriguing Players, a 200-card set-within-a-set concept that features 10 different versions of the NBA’s 20 best players.

A superstar-heavy release, 2012-13 Intrigue Basketball boasts a bevy of autograph and memorabilia chase elements, including:

• Immortalized Autos: Find the league’s most historic basketball icons in this gorgeous 50-card autograph insert with Gold and Platinum parallels.
• Impact Rookies: Chase the league’s most outstanding rookies with this sharp autograph insert.
• Red, White & Blue: Autographs from players who represented our country with Gold and Platinum parallels for each.
• Rookie Autograph Memorabilia Cards: A 60-card checklist with your favorite rookies from the Double Rookie Class along with Prime and Laundry Tag parallels.
• Winning Ink: Find the league’s winningest players, past and present, in this 50-card autograph insert with Gold and Platinum parallels.
• Slam Ink and Dunk Company: Autographs from some of the game’s most dynamic high-flyers.
