A 2012-13 NBA collecting season highlighted so far by the whiz-bang wizardry of several new printing technologies — the debut of Prizm Basketball, Limited Basketball’s autographed die-cut acetate RCs, the spinning memorabilia cards seen in both Absolute Basketball and Timeless Treasures Basketball – is about to get a whole lot more intriguing thanks to Panini America’s all-new 2012-13 Marquee Basketball.
Wielding such wicked wonders as laser-cutting, black holographic film board, more acetate and the introduction of the wild “Swirlorama” effect, 2012-13 Marquee Basketball promises an entertaining, fun and highly collectible experience.

Each 20-pack box (eight cards per pack) will deliver three autographs and a whopping 35 Rookie Cards from one of five unique rookie subsets — each incorporating vastly different technologies. Featuring a 150-card base set, Marquee is bolstered by five autograph inserts (including a 25-card coaches insert) and five uniquely designed inserts.
Among the highlights:

• The Rookie Signatures insert full of the NBA’s most exciting young playmakers
• The 20-card Stars of the Night insert that incorporates black holographic film board
• 20 dazzling, dizzying Slam Dunk Legends featuring the aforementioned “Swirlorama” substrate
• The 20-card Champions insert printed on the see-through splendor of acetate stock
• The entertainingly designed Election Night Autographs honoring some of basketball’s greatest Hall of Famers
• The laser-cut collectibility of 80 Group III Rookies
• Other inserts such as Rookie Rivals and All-Rookie Team

We’ll have much information on this creative addition to Panini America’s 2012-13 NBA roster right here on The Knight’s Lance as soon as it becomes available. Until then, enjoy this first extended look at 2012-13 Marquee Basketball.

looks pretty good

[Ajax1723]

Doesn't look bad, but I'm sure they will overprice it anyway.

[wesnilevirus]

No thanks....

[Kingofkings1281]

Cool, it's another useless and ugly product.

[pingbling23]

i have a feeling some of these inserts are going to look great in person. this is a step in the right direction. i like the design of the cards they showed.

[snsdmonkey]

Meh, seen it before.

[dasiegel]

if the swirl-o-rama (catchy name:/) were rare i'd give a box or two a shot but sticker autos plus no real chasers= i save for baseball prospects and wait for another bball product.

[gamboooler]

Good: Slam Dunk Insert
Bad: The Anthony Davis RC AU looks IDENTICAL to his Prestige AU (STOP BLENDING DESIGNS BETWEEN PRODUCTS)

[OKCThunder35]

what i dont like is how they put the huge marquee logo on every card

[Sikkcaden]

Luckily they got a new Kyrie photo..........................

[tristan20]

How many products are they coming out with? Its disgusting

What do you expect them to do with all these great, unique designs?

Sweet more redemptions and sticker autos.

[Wings]

Why? They are so damn unoriginal. Sorry but this is crap imo.

[GoldenBoy23]

they are getting boring. that Magic johnson head auto looks like they copied from dh12 sticker dunk! LOL

[Jsims20]

No thank you.

[thepinoymamba]

This will be...... wait for it......

completely pointless

[PackAttack419]

looks boring and just like everything else they put out. what is the appeal here? what is diff or unique? what are the chase cards??

when topps did marquee for baseball, they made the museum collection on-card autos a case hit. (that is an example of the uniqueness of that particular brand AND the coincidence of the same set name) with this, panini is promising more swirling jersey cards. WHY!? first of all, im sure the fans of those already got their fill. i dont see the public clamoring for more, more, more. i hate , absolutely hate how panini uses the same 'unique' gimmicks across multiple products (auto'd manufactured patches! although UD was guilty of doing this as well with letter patches)

[cruiserdaddy7]

Panini has a simple idea this year. If we produce TONS of products they will eventually like 1 or 2 of them. Problem is their products have gotten far worse as the year goes on.

[wmposs]

Lame. Swirlorama effect? Give me a break

[MikeMamba]

the slam dunk insert looks like it might have a refractor type finish?

[dashcounter]

so they are releasing past & present again under a different name. cool

[tingyangs6]

will not buy. just like every other cheap product they throw out. Why can't they have a BLACK like how they do in football?
