Teaser Gallery: Panini America Opens Three Boxes of the New 2017-18 Status Basketball
As we return from a busy Super Bowl week in Minneapolis intent on thawing out and quickly returning to our regularly scheduled work cycle, it occurred to us that The Knight’s Lance let a few traditional product-preview items slip — most notably Teaser Gallery preview posts for the two new products that released last week: 2017-18 Status Basketball and 2017 Vertex Football. Earlier today we began righting that wrong with a three-box breakdown of the latter. Now, we’re doing the same with a three-box break of the former.
You likely learned from last week’s revealing Quality Control Gallery that 2017-18 Status Basketball is a refreshing arrival on the collecting landscape that commands attention based on aesthetics alone. But it also delivers in terms of autograph and memorabilia content, too. On average, each hobby box of 2017-18 Status Basketball (six cards per pack, 10 packs per box, 20 boxes per case) will deliver one autograph and 10 Rookie Cards. Five boxes per case will also deliver a memorabilia card.
The following Teaser Gallery takes you pack by pack through three boxes of the product that arrived in hobby shops across North America on Wednesday. Enjoy the break and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance later this week for a detailed breakdown of the product’s compelling retail edition, which will be available exclusively at Walmart.
You can order 2017-18 Status Basketball now at the official online store of Panini America.
