Truth be told, if this particular blog post included everything that Panini America's new 2014-15 NBA Hoops Basketball had to offer, you'd still be reading it this time next week when the product goes live. But for the purposes of showcasing what must be considered one of the greatest NBA Hoops releases ever, we're going to preview just a little bit of everything.
Truth be told, if this particular blog post included everything that Panini America’s new 2014-15 NBA Hoops Basketball had to offer, you’d still be reading it this time next week when the product goes live. But for the purposes of showcasing what must be considered one of the greatest NBA Hoops releases ever, we’re going to preview just a little bit of everything.
The ballyhooed first NBA release of the new season, 2014-15 NBA Hoops Basketball is a must-have hit parade for hardcore hoops fans, featuring great photography, new Rookie Cards (and rookie autographs), new inserts, captivating parallels, old faces in new places, high entertainment value and serious bang for the buck. In fact, envision the perfect way to begin a new collecting season and, chances are, 2014-15 NBA Hoops Basketball is it.
Boasting a reconfigured, more-traditional packaging format (12 cards per pack, 24 packs per box), each hobby box of 2014-15 NBA Hoops Basketball delivers two autographs, one memorabilia card and the first licensed RCs of the celebrated 2014 NBA Draft Class. The product includes a fabled stable of parallels (such as Artist Proofs and the Cracked Ice look of Checkerboard), base, autograph and memorabilia checklists featuring the league’s greatest players (past, present and always) and so much more.
The Panini America Basketball Product Development team has spent the better part of this week conducting the Quality Control process for the product, resulting in the following must-see preview gallery. Enjoy this extended — and quite glorious — sneak peek at 2014-15 NBA Hoops Basketball and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage.
Awesome stuff
Are there gonna be blaster boxes at local retailers.
There will be retail configurations, yes.
Awesome gallery! Really looking forward to the first product of the new season. Still wondering if there will be coach cards, though.
Coach cards?
Yes, NBA HOOPS had coach cards in the 90s.
This would be the first jersey on the product of hoops! Nice inclusion for it. We are so excited to open them live!
Should be a fun break!
Hi, will rookie Nikola Mirotic of the Chicago Bulls be in this set?
This does look great….love the parallels as they are much more noticable than they were in some previous years of Hoops.
Post the Checklist please??
Panini does Basketball…And does it well. Period.
Any ETA of checklist?
Love the hot signatures set
I want to see Rony Seikaly in Magic uniform in new products!
looks good
Again with the fade to black on the bottom? I really look forward to this set- hope to get a box. One of the best things about Hoops is that it includes many less popular players who don’t get cards in other releases.
Are Wiggins/Parker autos live or redemptions?
They will be live. In fact, every autograph is live in 2014-15 NBA Hoops Basketball.
Is there a plan in the future to have “League Leader” cards like the authentic Hoops product had in its early inception?
I like that Hakeem Olajuwon / Shaquille O’Neal Matchups card. I like that Hoops is a pretty basic set. It was a good move to make the parallels a little more flashy and visible. It adds a little bit of value perception when you’re opening the product, like you’re getting a little extra for your money.
There’s 2 #22 for Timberwolves Wiggins/Robinson III ?
Really enjoyed the Class Action and Rise & Shine designs, looks like another big edition of Hoops is headed our way. Thanks Tracy!
Always like the rookie photography on these
