2013-14 Panini Preferred Basketball Cards

I have to say, I love these boxes. I pulled a 1/1 Shabbazz Muhammad rookie auto, a Silouhette jersey of Danny Manning, then a Kevin Love auto. Beast boxes!
P.S.:
I didn’t pull those, I just got terrible stuff.

Awesome Product! Lots of crybabies on here because they didnt get what they wanted. Stop buying boxes and buy singles then. Duh! Its a great Product all because I got $2000 worth cards for $85.

This product is lucky to get 1 star.. what a load of garbage.

Panini should be ashamed of themselves. Honestly you are trying so hard to saturate the market with stupid parrallels you are forgetting one thing… quality.

When UD gets is licence back, you guys are history.

Horrible product: Tyron Lue and Rory Sparrow autos, give me a break in this high end product. Plus back to back plain jersey booklets of Gasol/Gasol from the same case. Simply not worth the money or risk

Sorry about the typos in my review. I got caught up in writing I forgot to spell and grammar check.

Design: Good, but nothing that makes the cards jump out, with the exception of the Finals and Player vs. Player booklets. That was a great idea. What’s not a great idea is the abundance of bland materials that are included in most of the booklets, I surmise that they capitalized on the following:
1. Given the size of NBA players, figured out how many swatches they could get out of a jersey and then determined how many of each booklet to make. For example, probably a piece cake to get 199 black or white colored swatches for those booklets. Dual colors = fewer swatches, so # them to 99. Team logo swatch..less supply so lower print run.
2. Why settle for 1 game worn jersey, why not get 2 out of the game…so the players change jerseys at half time and now Panini has the option of having ensuring surplus to make sure they have enough for this product. Or, better yet, save them for another product, along with the players sweat towers.
3. Crown Royale: Nothing new and a lawsuit waiting to happen

Oh and almost forgot…now that game used shoe, basketball and sweaty towel swatches are now being used….what’s next?

Well I’ll tell you. At least one of the items below will show up as swatches or
– Jock straps,
– The towel a trainer used to clean up a cut (encased in a tamperproof container). To avoid any chance of liability for selling human medical waste, the redemption card will include a waiver of liabilty)
– Player shooting sleeve and
– Ballcaps…..of the champion.
…and for the lucky collector you can pull a triple thread multi-swatch card featuring all three above.

As for the big HIT cards of the next item will be a champion card set produced in partnership with a champagne producer. This will be a post game Cork and Label signed by a particular player.

The companion products will be pre and post game used swatches.

I’m now giving away the farm here but then again Panini is probably already working on it:
Draft Day swatches of the tie they wore, hat they wore just after being drafted as well as.

Fortunately, I think it will be a few years before someone teams up with Gatorade and offers autographed game used cups and bottles.

I think I’ve written more than enough for now and could go on like a blister in the sun, but it’s time to play a game of hoops, and produce some pre, during, and post game “material impact” items for the fans. 4 lucky collectors will get lucky and win #/4 pieces of gum chewed by me. One piece will have been chewed in each quarter. I will finish the gum by blowing a bubble and popping it myself. It will then be divided into 4 pieces. If your lucky or committed to chase cards, you might be able to get all four pieces and put them together like a puzzle.

It is too expensive for four cards.Sure you get 3 autos (regular, rookie and a legend). Probability of landing a good auto is clearly a hit or miss.

Desgin wise it is excellent, but would it been better if inserted with other sets to maximize the product?

The good: if you are a Spurs fan, you get the 2013 booklet which seems to be the target of most collectors. Perhaps, they include other Finals memorabilia similar to this one.

Improve: reduce cost or integrate with other products.

What are peoples opinion of the web site haulsofshame.com? They really rip JSA and psa , for years now.
