Panini is set to release its next basketball product in the season of Victor Wembanyama with 2023-24 Donruss Elite, set to arrive March 13.
Elite Hobby boxes carry six packs, with eight cards per pack. Luka Doncic is on the front.
A typical box will have two autographs, ten inserts or parallels and a group of base or base parallels featuring veterans and rookies.
The base set will hold 250 veterans and former stars (#1-200) and 50 rookies (#201-250).
There are some new Hobby-exclusive base parallels including Neon Green (# to 75), Black (# to 25) and the short-printed Mixorama.
While Wembanyama’s exclusive autograph deal with Fanatics/Topps means he won’t have any signed rookie cards in Elite, he does have three different cards on the checklist.
Other rookies who do have Panini deals can be found in the familiar Pen Pals, New Breed, Impact Impressions and Rookie Yearbook subsets.
Passing the Torch Signatures feature two players—one a current star and the other an all-time great– in a variety of combinations. For example, you’ll see Denver star Nikola Jokic and former Nugget Carmelo Anthony on one of them.
Elite Signatures, New Breed Autographs and GenreGraphs are among the other autograph subsets.
Other highlights:
Status and Aspirations Die-Cut parallels and super-short printed cards printed on lenticular stock that will be found in Dimensions, Next Up and Titlists.
Boxes of 2023-24 Donruss Elite are online now for $310-$350.
