  1. Preferred silhouettes look AMAZING! Any chance any of the Silhouette Prime from members of the 2011 class are game used?

    Thanks!

  2. Preferred looks great, love all of the on card autos.

    Tracy, I’ve tried asking a couple times how many Prime Silhouettes will be falling per case on average? With the double rookie class it seems like there could be a few more of them in the product this year. Thanks for all of the updates, definitely excited for this product.

    1. There’s been no ratio given to this point, but with more Rookie Silhouettes on the checklist, it would stand to reason that they would fall with somewhat greater frequency than last year.

      1. Thanks, I imagined there might not be set numbers at this point, but figured it didn’t hurt to ask. Sorry to pry.

  3. Sweet looking ON Card autos. Very limited and nicely placed. Select And The Alpha Dog Preferred will be absolutely fun to open.
    Thanks Tracy for the preview and all Panini staff great job!

  4. Any idea what product is coming out first Tracy? Preferred or Select? Both look really nice. Love the Anthony Davis Prizm like autograph and some of them Silhouettes are too nice. Thanks for the peak.

  5. Ok…I’ve been hating on Panini releases up to this point… but ….these two sets look really really good! I love the Kevin Love auto with him slamming one home and the Kareem card featuring the famous sky-hook. That is good photography. Unlike many others, I like the design of the Choice Award cards. MUGGSY! Well done.

  6. Did they release a new “Redemption Report” this week? Can’t find one, last was March 1st, don’t they release one every Friday??? thanks

      1. LOL, Glad to see a few of mine are on the list this week!!! Anything on Russell Wilson stuff, any info appreciated, lot of us that can’t wait to get our Wilson auto stuff!!! Thanks again

  7. These are some really great cards right here. I love the silhouette as does everybody else I hope there’s a Bill Walton silo this year!! Tracy you know any thing about that? >>Did you already release the ¢hę¢k£ï$t for preferred?<<

  8. Some great looking sets for hoops fans, can we expect a Select for football in the near future? Thanks Tracy!

  9. I started collecting last year and only had the chance to open one box of Preffered. It was a fun time although I didn’t get any major pulls. I enjoy the booklets a lot. By far my favorite thing I have seen so far has to be the jersey patches! Will any of these jersey cards be autoed also? Thanks!

  10. Beautiful collection, it’s nice that’s there isn’t any sticker autos this year. Is James Worthy in the checklist ?
    PLMK
    Thanks

  11. I would love a box of this. Do you guys ever give out free boxes? That would be so awesome if I got one.
