2017-18 Panini Absolute Basketball Cards

I bought a box from my local card dealer ( JUNIATA CARDS ) and I got soooo lucky, I got a case hit glass redemption LONZO BALL ! The other cards in the box weren’t so great. Robert parish – Established threads , D.J. WILSON – Tools of the trade , a JAWUN EVANS Auto. , KYLE KUZMA base RC and a JOHN COLLINS ROOKIE materials and 2 other useless ones. Since then , I’ve bought some glass etched ones on EBay. How many glass etched did they make of each player is my question. I’m trying to find the answer online but I can’t find it. HELP ! !

The highlight of my box was 600 panini points. The encased “uncirculated” cards were supposed to be a big hit but the market is flooded with these mag cash base cards that have no serial numbers and little value. Absolute memorabilia was always a good mid level to premium product with 3-4 hits in 4 inner boxes. Now it’s barely mid level with 2 inner boxes and 2 hits. Lose the “uncirculated” cards Panini please.

more Panini garbage… they went from 20 cards per box to six… bought into a group break and was disappointed with the number of no-name rookies (some of them have already washed up). also, one of the “hits” is a tiny, single color relic card with no autograph.

Sorry for typo errors :)-

Why are all the reviews bad? This product ROCKS! I bought 2 hobby boxes from my local shop “Who’s On First” because that’s all he had. When we finally got home, traffic sucked we pulled “LUCKY ME” a case hit glass insert of Chris Paul. Its a redemption card but hey who cares, sometimes you have to be patient and wait for things. Ya buddy I was excited. I know hes not the best but hey I pulled a case hit for $120.00 from my local hobby guy here in Washington. In the second box and additional $120.00 was a De’Aaron Fox Tools of the Trade quad relic auto 09/99 and a Malik Monk Rookie Materials 11/25. Man it felt like Christmas all over again. I agree Panini is not always up on the quality of there cards but they did it right with this release. Forgot to mention we also pull a Donovan Mitchell slab rookie card. :) Thank you Cardboard Connection, Panini and Who’s on First! Keep it up!

seriously Panini didn’t put a single Wizards player in the Absolute base set?!?!?! Good thing there’s Lin, Steven Adams, Bledsoe, Schroder, Dragic, Ariza and Myles Tuner but no Wall, Beal, Porter

Do not be fooled by the flashy cards with big-name rookies – those are few and far between.

Most boxes will result in a loss, this product is not worth the price ($20/card).

Disappointing that the glass inserts are redemptions, which Panini is notoriously slow to fulfill.

May only be worth it if the price is lowered or if you get a good team in a case break.

Will this product be in a retail version this year, Lisa?
