The NBA playoffs will be down to the nitty gritty when 2023-24 Panini Select Basketball makes its annual return to the market. The colorful chromium product packs more of the same this season.
Select Hobby boxes will have 12 packs, with five cards per pack. Cases will hold 12 boxes.
A typical box will have three autographs and/or memorabilia cards and you can also figure on 12 Prizm parallels. There will be H2 boxes with no autographs guaranteed as well as Mega Boxes and Blasters, each with their own exclusive parallels.
Once again, Hobby boxes will have three tiers of base cards: Concourse, Premier Level and Courtside.
Parallels will be in abundance, highlighted by the sport-printed Zebra and Gold Glitter versions, Tie-Dye (# to 25), Gold (# to 10), Green (# to 5) and 1/1 Black Finite.
New autograph sets this year include Select Few Signatures and Hall Selections Signatures, with multiple parallel versions along for the ride.
Autographed rookie cards will be found in Rookie Signatures with Rookie Jersey Autographs and Jumbo Signature Rookie Swatches carrying a piece of memorabilia as well.
Other autograph sets include In-Flight Signatures, Prime Selections Signatures and Select Pairings Signatures.
Patch autographs can be found in X-Fractor Memorabilia Signatures and Autographed Memorabilia. Hobby-exclusive parallels include the 1/1 Black Finite.
Hobby-Exclusive inserts such as Unstoppable, Select Future, Sensations, Snapshots, and En Fuego will have several parallel possibilities including Silver Prizm, Tie-Dye Prizms (#’d/25), Gold Prizm (#’d/10), Green Prizms (#’d/5) and 1/1 Black Finite.
Collectors can also find short-printed inserts in the returning Color Wheel and the new Starcade.
Release date for 2023-24 Panini Select Basketball is May 10.
