Basketball: It's all about Panini Prizm. Hobby and Retail are both still on fire. Have a feeling that when we look back 1-2 years
from now, all the 2012/13 Products with the double rookie class will be alot higher than where we are at now. Some of the
products that stand out based on content other than Prizm are Panini Totally Certified and Panini Threads. These 3 products seem to be better than the others. Starting to see buying also in 2012/13 Panini Select Basketball.

Hockey has also picked up with the new season. 2012/13 Panini Limited is selling very well but with few new releases, collectors
are targeting the older products that are value breaks. Here's what's selling:
2011/12 Panini Titanium Hockey
2011/12 Panini Rookie Anthology Hockey
2011/12 Panini Elite Hockey
2011/12 Panini Contenders Hockey
2010/11 Panini Zenith Hockey
2010/11 Panini Luxury Suite Hockey
