2012-13 Panini Innovation Basketball Cards

Honestly, not a favorite product of mine, but I am a sucker for the stained glass subset. I would love for that type of design to be a base set someday. I notice the 2013-2014 stained glass cards have the Rookie Card shield on them. Are the 12-13 stained glass cards considered true rookie cards (Lillard, Davis, Kyrie, etc)?

I sent in a Draymond Green Rookie Auto redemption card over three years ago. Nothing has come back. Panini has lots of excuses, but Draymond signed cards for all of their other releases. At the very least Panini could put a sticker on cards and mail them out.

I see other redemptions that have not been filled as well. for all the complaining that people do about Topps releases, they ALWAYS fill their redemptions.

One of the best card sets ever produced. Along with 2013-14 Prizm and 2013 Flawless, this set is one of my all time favorites. As the
title would indicate, this is an innovative set of cards with ultra cool cards featuring several
inserts with an etched foil technology and a
large subset that has cards including the top rookies, in a stain-glass style. There is an awesome ‘All Rookie’ team that uses the etched foil that makes the players really stand out.

There are really two standard sets with one
of them being numbered and using a clear
view plastic design. A red parallel #25 with the same design also adds to the collectibility
of this product. There are many autos to
chase including a unique silver on black set
that gives the appearance of writing on a
chalkboard. Overall, the different designs
used in this product found me going for
marginal players that I would normally not
collect. I hope Panini comes out with another Innovation product for 2014. If it
even comes close to this product I will be
ecstatic. This was really the first Panini
basketball product that broke the mold of
otherwise ho-hum quality.
