You've Been Selected: Panini America Takes a Pre-Ink Peek at 2013-14 Select Basketball

Judging by the sheer density of hustle and bustle taking place on Friday afternoon back in the double-wide hallway that connects the Panini America Acquisitions area to the rest of HQ, it was obvious that something shiny and new had just been delivered from the production facility across town. And considering the significant bling bouncing of the shiny assortment of cards strategically placed on two massive sorting tables, Panini America's spectacular Prizm technology was involved.

  1. Great cards but when I have been waiting for almost a week to see if I won a black box or some other great card, maybe “you have been selected” is not the best way to start an email. LOL. But great cards though.

  2. I really like the various print technologies and accompanying textures, but too much within the same box just might cause one to lapse into a seizure… like strobe lights.
    Nevertheless, the new looks are fun and will certainly ramp-up the “box-break” excitement.

  4. TRACY, LISTEN TO ME!!! PLEASE MAKE SURE THESE ARE MOSTLY ON CARD! ALL THE ROOKIES MUST BE ON CARD! Do not ruin such a awesome design with bleh stickers of Ricky Ledo. This could either be a huge hit or a bust but please don’t let them make it bleh after finally designing something different and new!!!

  5. AWESOME! I LOVE them ALL! So now I need to raise some more cash to at least try one box 🙂 Thanks for a preview/review !!
