The hype surrounding 2013-14 Gold Standard Basketball began in earnest over the weekend during a special Panini Roundtable Sneak Peek event that culminated Sunday with Orlando Magic rookie sensation Victor Oladipo helping Chuck's Sports Cards with a live case break from the Panini America booth at the 2014 NBA All-Star Jam Session.

One day earlier inside the Panini America booth, Los Angeles Clippers superstar Blake Griffin helped fans and collectors open boxes of the product they’d won during weekend Box Wars contests. Now, that today’s national release date has arrived, we’ve got one more peek to sneak before hobby shops across North America start opening their doors.
This morning we ripped through three early boxes of 2014-14 Gold Standard Basketball for the following Teaser Gallery that takes you card by card through the experience. Each box delivers four autographs, one memorabilia card and at least one metal card.
Are these going to end up on eBay?
Nope.
They’re going back on the packaging lines to be reboxed right Tracy
The cards from the QC process do. These boxes were completed during packout and will most likely find their way into collectors’ hands through one of our contests.
Freaking beautiful cards. It meets the Gold standard. Very very nice job Panini
Looks like a very solid product! Would love to get my hands on a Drummond auto from Gold Standard!
tracy i love all the 2014 design so far, nice work and nice improvement 🙂
I saw box breaks of this year”s Gold Standard, and theses cards looks really cool, i think these looks better then the cards from last year. I saw metal card pulled what was black instead of the gold background, i watched a couple of breaks but i saw only one of those, are those some supper short print cards?
(The cards with the championship ring would look even better, if you put little diamond shaped glass, or something like that where the little diamonds are printed. [Or make a one of one with real diamonds])
Gold Standard is such a great program, that Mashburn patch literally made me say “ooooh.” Thanks Tracy!
gorgeous! now please do GS football again! lol
So excited for the contest—box two was the GOLD MINE!!!
love the look of gold standard
C+C Music Factory said it best, Gold Standard is one of those “Things That Make You Go Hmmmm…”
And yes I just watched that complete song on youtube *sigh*
I like it yet again… keep it up with the gold standard. Most I know love the design and the ratio of hits in these packs every year.
