Kicking off the NBA card collecting for the high-end lines this year is the 2021-22 Panini Impeccable Basketball release.
A solid and established line, the 2021-22 Panini Impeccable Basketball won’t differ from the previous years in design or style. Collectors can yet again expect plenty of autographs, tinted designs and of course metal inclusions, standard and premium.
Nine cards, of which five are autographs, are contained in each Hobby box with one metal insert per box too - Stainless Stars are in fact actual metal cards.
Fans should look for the 4 x unsigned cards that are joining the hits for this years Impeccable Basketball release, along with three base cards or parallels in each box.
The last of the non-hit cards is probably a Stainless Steel metal insert which can be found in Gold parallels.
The 2021-22 Panini Impeccable Basketball release has plenty of autographs to go around. The NBA 75th Anniversary Autographs incorporates patterned foil highlights while actual gold and silver bars are found in Silver Draft Logo and Gold NBA Logo cards.
Rookie Autographs of course features the best first-year players, but fans can also find Rookies in the Elegance Rookie Jersey Autographs where they can grab both a swatch and on-card ink.
Elegance Veteran Jersey Autographs feature established NBA stars while a limited amount of themed content can be found via a player's jersey number, draft spot or statistic- Impeccable Jersey Number Autographs being one such subset.
Impeccable Basketball has an estimated release date of 6 April 2022 with a product recap of 9 cards per pack, 1 pack per box and 3 boxes per case.
