We haven't yet gotten a breakdown for 2018-19 Donruss basketball cards but we already know one inclusion that's already signed and ready to roll from Panini America.
They're the NBA Rookie Photo Shoot Next Day Autographs that were signed in limited quantities during the event last week.
The Panini America VIP Party roster has added some stars from the gridiron.
The newest star revealed on Friday night? Hall of Famer and Detroit Lions legend Barry Sanders. Former Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick was revealed this afternoon, while two past college football greats will also be on hand for Saturday's exclusive event.
Joining them will be three previously revealed NBA guests as well as Texas Longhorns legend Vince Young and former Oklahoma Sooners star "The Boz," Brian Bosworth.
The Panini America VIP Party will include some NBA flair from the past and the present.
Saturday's exclusive event will have at least three NBA stars involved as the company has revealed its first three stars appearing at the party who will meet and greet fans.
Cleveland Cavaliers first-round pick Collin Sexton, Orlando Magic pick Mo Bamba and former Boston Celtics star and NBA Slam Dunk Contest champ Dee Brown will be on hand at the event set for Saturday night in Cleveland.
We're less than an hour from the start of the 2018 NBA Draft and Panini America already has the first NBA cards of the new stars ready.
