Question For All You Basketball Guys

[mweber012]

So, first off I want to say I know nothing about the basketball card industry as I am a baseball card collector. That being said, I am going to start a Ryan Kelly PC. I saw some of his autos have already hit the market. So my question is what kinds of products will he be in. For ex. RC based products. Would National Treasures be one of them? That is really the only basketball product I know of, so what are some others he and other rookies would be in. Any help is appreciated. :turkey:

With there being no exclusive contracts on Kelly I'm aware of, he should be included in every 13/14 Panini NBA release. If you are looking forward to his higher end rookies, they will be released next year. The National Treasures, and whatever higher end brand Panini decides to produce for this current season.

You can find him right now in low end base brands like 13/14 Hoops. Good luck on the PC!

Thanks for the info!

Panini really tries to make the most of the rookie card so they have rookies in every release from what I can remember. If Panini had their way he would be a rookie next year as well. That being said, being the 48th overall pick, he might not make the checklist of every product. The other thing is that Panini has killed products and created new ones and its really hard to know what will even be released this season. Some of the staples are Gold Standard, Certified, Prestige, National Treasures, Contenders, Absolute, Timeless Treasures, etc. Last year we saw 10 new products and the best rookie cards came out of Flawless and Immaculate, but only the top rookies were featured in Flawless.
