15-16 Immaculate Wish List...

[rauchand]

I was thinking, since Immaculate is my favorite Panini product, what would I like them to add this year? Curious what other people are thinking too. Here's a few of mine....


Adopt 3 autograph sets from the Football brand

1.) Signature Moves (acetate): there's definitely enough to make a set. A few pics I thought of that could be used. I'm sure there's more...

- Shaq running down the court staring at left hand or just a monster 2 hand slam
- Kobe fadeaway
- Rodman both arms raised running back on D
- Malone Free Throw
- Iverson/Hardaway Crossover
- Magic no look pass
- Bird baseline over backboard rainbow J
- Lambier elbow
- Pierce lean in jumper
- Kareem sky hook
- Tmac off the backboard dunk
- Parker tear drop
- Ginobili euro step layup
- Lebron powder throw or tomahawk dunk - no auto but this set should be limited /10 or /25 so it'd be a big card.

2.) Immaculate Moments: possibilities are endless. Don't need to run through them all.

3.) MVP #ed to how many MVPs player won: they've done AS and Titles, but I don't remember MVP.

Obviously, dual logomans that are NOT booklets. Better yet, dual logoman AUTOS.


Anyone have any other ideas?

on-card autos and no redemptions?

[rauchand]

on-card autos and no redemptions?

Majority has been on card. Agree no redemptions but id rather have a redemption for a big name player than them not be in the set at all (assuming the card will be made)

Ill add a couple-
-havlicek when he stole the ball to end the finals
-vince carter dunk on fred weis
-if they brought arenas in this year, his game winner where he just turned around and threw his hands up as soon as he shot it
-kyrie game tyer in san antonio
-wiggins poster on gobert
-if they could get lillard to sign again, game 6 game winner against houston

I like the moves set. Kobe's dunk on Dwight in 04 would be an awesome card.

Love these but I'd put them in the Immaculate Moments set since they're more specific. Both sets have great potential.

Yeah i thought about that after i finished typing haha

[afrobandit]

I want more shoe cards. I hope they bring back shoe lace and net relics too.

[UltimateDeron]

Immaculate is my favorite panini product. I fear the price will be raised a bit since people bought into the $6k product.

[inopethflames]

first of all how about a premium patches set that looks noticeably different from the past 2 years which were virtually identical. secondly maybe it depends how the christmas jerseys/shorts are this year, but the christmas shorts jumbo patch set from 13-14 was really incredible, id like to see that back as its own completely differentiated set, and not have it how they did in 14-15 with like 5 sets that all looked exactly the same except were just labeled different for what type of memorabilia it was. that ruined the uniqueness of the cards, which were all unique in themselves by how they did it was terrible.

in general it would be good to keep the acetate parallels limited and not much if any other acetate cards except for those parallels.

just make everything reminiscent of previous years but go farther this year in making it a newer updated design. it shouldnt be 12-13 immaculate part 4.

a simple thing would be to actually show in the previews this year the couple 'lower-end' regular autos and jerseys they always throw in out of nowhere to fill out the boxes.

i cant think of anything new that they would or could do, i think probably the main new thing this year will be to include college stuff in the product, which im sure 99% of people here wont like, but that will happen and they will probably have at least something new or different.

Love your suggestions OP....here's a few more suggestions

Dr. J reverse layup against the lakers
KG banging his head against the back pole
D Wade doing a pull-up on the rim
Tim Duncan bank shot (the best move in NBA history and I'm not a Spurs fan)
Dirk fade away shot
Reggie Miller and the choke sign or Reggie shooting a three
Hakeem dream shake
Kobe standing on the scorers table after winning his last championship with his two arms spread out
Mutombo finger wave
Chris Paul lob pass


.......and my favorite moment of all time....Allen Iverson stepping over Lue

Love the KG, Wade, Duncan, Mutombo, Dirk, and Olajuwon Signature Moves ideas. Perfect.

That AI would be a massive card for the Immaculate Moments set. Wow.

[Rareairx23]

Immaculate moments
Kobe pointing to the jumbotron after scoring 81

I'd like to see some new stuff in the high end products.

1) Redemption for courtside NBA tickets.

2) Redemption for NBA All - Star weekend getaway

3) Redemption for Finals game tickets + Air fare

4) Signed game worn Jersey's / Balls.


Card related:

Only 1/1 Logoman

No Sticker auto's!!!

Current Team Triple Auto's
Like Warriors w/ Curry, Klay, Green, Bulls , Butler, Gasol, Rose, ETC ETC

Legends Rival Dual Auto's

Magic / Bird , Shaq / Ben Wallace, ETC

[hychang5]

I hope they stay away from including anything with college uniforms. They already created an entire new set for that, if this is an NBA product, there is no reason to include college uni's.

Edit: Dirk/Porzingas dual auto!

[byronscott4ever]

Make championship trios on acetate, go back as far as possible. This is where college might work--imagine an on-card Laettner Hill Hurley trio as just one example.

[IronMonkey415]

Kemp pointing art Lister after dunking on him.

[bjho852]

1) Stay away from amateur basketball
2a) Charles Barkley autograph cards
2b) Patrick Ewing autograph cards
2c) Reggie Miller autograph cards
3) Redemption cards for Panini Authentic memorabilia (both autographed and unsigned)

I think a "Dunk Contest" set would be awesome. Obviously no MJ so the set may not work, but you could fit in a decent checklist with awesome dunks (hobby love). Numbered to 25 or 20, so not impossible to pull but still fairly rare.


-Dominique Wilkins "Windmill"
-Spud Webb "Strawberry Jam"
-Dee Brown "Eyes Closed"
-Cedric Ceballos "Blindfolded"
-Isaiah Rider "Between the Legs"
-Kobe "Between the Legs 2.0"
-Vince Carter "Pick one, although I like the Arm in the Rim"
-Jason Richardson "Between the Legs, Behind the Head"
-Nate Robinson "Kryptonate over Dwight Howard"
-Dwight Howard "Superman Dunk"
-Gerald Green "Blow out the Candle"
-Blake Griffin "Over the Car"


I think this set would be a hit and the photography would be awesome! I can't remember any Isaiah Rider or Gerald Green autographs recently, so this set would also have some "new signers" people always beg for.

[razorsharp]

-Iverson stomp over Tryonn Lue

[Deadshot]

More premium patches from retired players that Panini hasn't used yet.

[xavieronly1]

No sticker auto

No "88" rookie patch

More on card multiplayer autos.

[IronMonkey415]

Rex Chapman clutch 3 point against the Sonics.

You can tell I am stuck in the 90's

[IronMonkey415]

Jermaine O' Neil sub-zero sliding punch

Jermaine O' Neil sub-zero sliding punch

Good call on the Kemp and Chapman. That JO one would be amazing haha.

So many possibilities for Moments and Moves sets. I really hope they do it.

Kobe 81 point night would be a HUGE card. Like football, make them /25 and /10 for rare signers (i.e. Brady).

Artest laying on the scoring table Moments auto.

Mourning top of the key jumper to win 1st round of playoffs. Man, Immaculate Moments would be filthy. Huge chase cards for sure.

Signature Moves like Dream Shake and others mentioned would be awesome.

I like the Dunk contest idea too.

[rodmanmartinez]

Legends Rival Dual Auto's

Magic / Bird , Shaq / Ben Wallace, ETC

This right here ^^^^

[Pastretta]

James Harden with a side of Jahlil Okafor....:)

Since Panini likes adding things onto cards - how about "Sweet Shots" with different colored M&M's, Skittles, etc. on the cards! That way, your Blue Edwards Sweet Shot won't ever be worthless - it will at least be worth the price of the Lemonhead on the card!

I actually like some of the suggestions - and Immaculate is by far the best Panini product out there - I just hope that whatever they do - they keep enough people interested that cases are opened so I get the singles I want!!!
