Teaser Gallery: Panini America Cracks First Box of 2012-13 Past & Present Basketball

To truly gauge the manifold brilliance of Panini America’s 2012-13 Past & Present Basketball, all you have to do is open one box of the product. But since you won’t be able to officially do that until the product releases tomorrow, we’re going to give you the next best thing: A pack-by-pack breakdown of the box we just opened.

There’s a feel-good, throwback-to-the-future vibe at play in seemingly every pack of the product, which is brimming with cool, technology-driven inserts, vivid design elements and autographs from the NBA’s top stars from yesterday, today and tomorrow. And just in case you missed our gripping announcement from earlier today, 2012-13 Past & Present Basketball also includes Jay Williams’ first autographs in nine years.

But until you’re able to completely immerse yourself in the product tomorrow, take some time this afternoon to get the feel for what one 20-pack hobby box should deliver with the teaser gallery that follows. Enjoy.
