Basketball Card Previews: 12/13 Panini National Treasures

Manufacturer: Panini
Release Date: July 31st, 2013


     First, let’s talk about the price. 2012/13 Panini basketball National Treasures has a blowout price from somewhere between $599 to $699, but there is a reason why that is the price. The configuration of the box is 1 pack per box and 10 cards per pack. 9 of those 10 cards are hits. I still think the price is little bit above then what it is. If I was to give a rating of the price, I would rate it a 4/10. Moving onto the box we see just plain white for the background. Let’s see the box:

The box is sort of like a base card for the 12/13 Panini basketball Crusade set. It has all these gray lines in the background, but there is one more color to the box. That color is brown. The brown just stands out from the white.

     Next is the hits. You get cards numbered 1/1 such as the 1/1 of Kyrie Irving down below:
                   

 If you look closely you can see in silver saying one of one. This card is the unsigned version of it. The reason why it’s 1/1 is because there is only one of those NBA signs on his jersey as you see up top. There are also many other hits like this Kobe Bryant Springfield Bound signatures:
Here are some of the hits you can get:

  • Logoman and Laundry Tag memorabilia inserts
  • Press Plates
  • Jumbo Prime Rookie Patch autographs
  • Notable Nicknames Autographs

     Check out some other hits:










My rating: 7.5/10. I hope I can get a box! Check back later for more National Treasures.
