Panini America Offers a Scintillating Peek at 2013-14 Preferred Basketball Booklets

[doniceage]

While many passionate collectors continue basking in the Optichrome-candied radiance of Panini America’s 2013-14 Spectra Basketball two days after its release, many others are anxiously awaiting what’s next — 2013-14 Preferred Basketball — with a giddy, night-before-Christmas-in-July sense of excitement. One look at some of the booklets and you’ll start to understand why.

Last week, Panini America Basketball Brand Manager Cory Hollingsworth camped out at the company printing facility to help take part in packout for Spectra and to help begin the Quality Control process for Preferred. Thankfully, he also was nice enough to snap a few revealing Preferred booklet shots while he was there.

LOVE that they have actual, certified pieces of uniform from the NBA Finals games. Topps did that for the 2000 NBA Finals (Lakers/Pacers); I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often.

Maybe players like to keep their uniforms? They may never make it to an NBA Finals again. I know I would keep everything. Warmups to finger bands :p

They wear two uniforms usually. One for each half.

Players simply earn too much to collect uniform lol

I don't care how much I earned, if I was playing in an NBA Finals I'm keeping everything. Having a film crew record everything too. Have the whole team, coaching staff, everybody sign a ball or something too!
