The Panini America Quality Control Gallery: 2020-21 Select Basketball

July 29, 2021

As far as Fridays go, tomorrow is shaping up to deliver one of the most high-voltage hobby days of the summer. It’s not just going to be electric. It’s going to be “Selectric.” Mark it down. Book it. Bank on it. As if it wasn’t enough for Panini America to release 2021 UFC Select in hobby shops across North America tomorrow, it’s also dropping 2020-21 Select Basketball, too.

The scorching Select brand will do double-time tomorrow across the collecting universe and this year’s basketball version is sure to pick up where last season’s left off — with tons of color to chase, the rare and exclusive Zebra Prizms, quirky-cool die-cuts and a wealth of must-have autograph and memorabilia content.

On average, each hobby box of 2020-21 Select Basketball (five cards per pack, 12 packs per box, 12 boxes per case) will deliver three autograph or memorabilia cards, 12 Prizms, two Courtside base cards and 10 Premier base cards per hobby box, on average.

Among the many product highlights:
