2012-13 Panini Starting 5 Program Offers Exclusive Basketball Promo Cards
Each week through December 29, Panini has picked five players. Collectors who build a complete lineup of that week's players by busting packs at a participating hobby shop get some exclusive Panini Starting 5 cards. The final week of the promotion includes special gold packs that have random autographs. These special packs also have a contest card where collectors could win prizes like a trip to the 2013 All-Star Game, autographed memorabilia and Rated Rookie shirts.
The 2012-13 Panini Starting 5 promo set has 18 cards, with rookies figuring prominently on the checklist. Other highlights include Playmaker and Panini Authentic cards. Panini has a complete gallery of the set posted on their blog.
