National Treasures Release Pushed Back?

[crazymj]

Hi guys, the original release date of panini national treasures is coming up August 4th, i have heard rumors from different people that since Paninin had to push back crown royale, there might be a possiblity of them pushing back National Treasures as well. Does anyone have any solid information on if the product is indeed coming out August 4th? I've been checking all the websites and they all still say August 4th but when there's no picture of the auctual product yet (pacakge box etc), i'm a little worried.

Well my local distributor told me on Saturday. Thatit will be pushed back atleast 2 weeks. But they are trying to rush he product out because nervous that focus will hit the new rookie class.

Since upper deck ultimate collection will have quite a bit of the new rookie class in the product.

also rumor is the product will be pushed back in order to throw redemption of kobe jerseys and some Turner, wall. etc redemptions

I would forgive them if they throw in some free John Wall Redemptions like exquisite did in 2007/08 for the 08/09 rc class.

thats what i said to. also heard some litho redemptions as well as a few redemptions. Since the product isnt selling that well. But that might be do to basketball season over.

Plus baseball and football hype

also hurts that besides evans none of this class will be superstar top 10 or so players in the world.

This class is very solid compared to other years . ( Blake Griffin, Tyreke Evans, Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings) Compare that to like 2006/07 and even 2007/08 (Kevin durant thats it). Its pretty solid.

[canuhandle23]

I agree its better then 06.....and ill give you curry and maybe jennings will be decent player. Just cant give you griffin as his career is barely any different then Oden. It is a soliid class better than some other s and I watch alot of rubio and I think he will be decent Im worried that if this product comes out last week of August who will even give a flying woot.

[canuhandle23]

Lets just hope the product is out before the first half of the month because i do want atleast 4 evans rookies and maybe a curry if NELSON IS fired.

This sucks if it is pushed back. I was hoping to crack a box or two at the National since it was releasing that week & dealers there would usually have it. I guess I'll have to wait then. :(

[maggliofan01]

My birthday is August 4th and I wanted to buy myself a box - Guess I won't be if it isn't out yet?

[boombaby_rm31]

i doubt it. absolute didnt get pushed back before and there was only one week difference for TT and absolute.

im assuming the dual, triple and quad autos will be stickers

on their fb, most rookies have signed already except tyeke and jennings

so i guess they are 65-75% done

The official release date (August 4th) is also the first day of the National. I'm sure Panini would like to have this product live for the National.

I went to the National in Chicago 2 years ago and 07-08 Exquisite came out that very same weekend

Haha yeah sucked though you were on your way in right when I was on my way out

I don't see it getting pushed back. Look at how much product info they have already put out, along with tons of new pictures on their facebook page just last Thursday. Along with the National coming up at the same time. I think it will release on time.

panini said its being hand packed now

Gary Stein: There are rumors that NT basketball will be pushed back, can we get an official ruling on this?

Donruss: It's packing out by hand as we speak, so we should be good to go. Keep you posted.

LCS says that they still have it as Aug 4th. I'm really debating on getting one or two boxes. I have heard that its really over produced, so it may be saturated with crap (not unlike exquisite). I don't know anything about redemptions for Jersey's or Litho's, though. There are no Durant autographs... From what I've heard there hasn't been an agreement yet. (which is why he wasn't in Crown Royale as scheduled)

[Lvballer42]

Just an update: With all of the new pics surfacing over the past week on their website, I highly doubt it will be pushed back, looks like NT will be on time! wooohoooo!:)!
