Looks great for $105 a box!

Probably a sticker dump, but sure beats $1000/box for new product!

Where’s the AI slop? Almost looks like a human designed this.

I don't have any inside info and this example is football, but I think their signing of top NIL names like this shows that they are likely going to keep at it with a mix of past, present and prospects all in one.

I also wouldn't be eager to call this one a sticker dump at all -- also no stickers seen on mocks. (Plus, if there were players they can 100% no longer use then they would have been dumped already.)

Ooh the first unlicensed Panini basketball product in years. Not sure how to feel about this.

BlowoutBuzz · 02-04-2026, 03:55 PM

Also ... pre-orders are live right now.

So this is our first look at unlicensed Panini Basketball. It's not the worst looking and it shows on-card autos. This will be an interesting test to see how this plays out. I'm betting interest will be low considering all the Topps products and the lack of the big name autos (aka. Lebron, Wemby, Flagg, etc...)

I guess they still have Luka...correct?

Also, is it still jerseys "Not associated with any specific player, game, or event"?

Beavers98 · 02-04-2026, 04:19 PM

I probably won't buy any, but it looks pretty good for unlicensed.

BlowoutBuzz · 02-05-2026, 09:20 AM

Added some signers info to the original link.

I wonder if the patches are Walmart Non Event Jersey or actual game used? Interesting that pre orders are sold out for both Donruss and Signatures.

Man, all those NIL names makes me want to buy this product even less. Pass.

Shocked if it's game used...player worn at best but knowing Panini's track record recently with rookies, it will be all non associated

Dasports · 02-05-2026, 12:37 PM

So I am surprised they aren’t touting Luka doncic. Is he not in the set? As I thought panini had exclusive for him.

oldgoldy97 · 02-05-2026, 12:59 PM

Babatunde!

I used to work with a Babatunde.
