I personally think these and the premium patch autos are the nicest looking cards ever put out by panini

I 100% agree with you SPauthentic on those being the best cards made by Panini.

They should make another one next year with veteran autos. Would love to see some kobe and durant acetate auto patch #/24, #/35.

They are not even acetate theyre called immaculate numbers. I missed out about dozen when u search acetate patch. They are just nice like the number pieces. Just missing the auto on veterans

They are very nice cards.

acetate is the clear plastic stuff, not the name of an insert set. panini has had acetate cards repeatedly throughout their 12-13 releases. the immaculate ones are definitely the best by far.

In my opinion, these are the best looking acetate autographed cards:

I've seen some of those UD ones get scratched or faded

Right but what exactly is an acetate auto? I've seen cards as far back as 2002 being listed as acetate. What makes the card an acetate?

I think acetate is clear plastic, like in 2000-01 Upper Deck Slam

The acetate that's being referred to is the plastic top layer of the card. In the case of immaculate these are really the only cards that didn't suffer serious quality control issues.
