There’s been buzz created in Taiwan with the uncovering the of the product’s first Golden Ticket, currently on eBay with a Buy It Now price just south of $30,000. Here in the states, the product’s 14-karat gold Solid Gold insert cards have rivaled the frenzy created by their predecessors in Playoff Contenders Football and Hockey.
The first confirmed sale we’ve tracked of a Solid Gold card, that of Tim Duncan, closed at an impressive $1,500. A handful of others have surfaced on the secondary market, including biggies LeBron James and John Wall as well as LaMarcus Aldridge, Stephen Curry and David Robinson pulled in, of all places, Paris, France.
To date, though, just four have Solid Gold cards have been redeemed and sent to lucky collectors, and those are included in the debut of the Solid Gold Tracker below. After you’ve perused the list, stay tuned for an exclusive first look at many of the hoops history-makers. But first, here’s a snapshot of the Solid gold cards redeemed so far:

John Stockton was pulled in a group break
These are unbelievable … I’m just speechless. Some of the most innovative and beautiful basketball cards in hobby history. I admit I have not been thrilled by all of the Panini designs thus far, but these … well, these are beyond amazing.
These are so sweet! Thanks for sharing
My customers love Panini Gold Standard. We only have a few boxes left. We still have hope for a 14 kt Solid Gold Card……

Derrick Rose was pulled in Delaware & sold on ebay.
I know for a fact the redeemed ones havent been sent because I havent gotten mine! lol
I know for a fact that all of the redeemed ones HAVE been sent because I sent them out FedEx 2Day myself yesterday. 🙂
This is great to hear, Tracy — getting these out quickly will only help the product (and Panini, in general), especially with the National right around the corner.
Well then im looking forward to getting mine!
Hope you like it, man.

The Larry Bird hasn’t been redeemed through the system yet.
