With each hobby box containing five autographs along with 59 insert cards drawing from various themes, there is plenty of value to be found in each pack and there will be signatures from both 2015 NBA draftees along with several established pros. Signatures have long been the biggest draw in Contenders releases in all sports and there are several different themes to collect once it hits store shelves on October 21.

Hmmm, not a big fan of the college uni cards, is this a slap in the face to Upper deck?

I hate cards in amateur uniforms. Pretty easy product pass for me. However, does this now mean there won't be a 15'16 Panini Contenders product with cards in pro uniforms?

Another cheap looking product pumped out in a rush.

They have the exclusive college licence now and have been incorporating college cards in their latest products already.

Probably. They lost the NCAA license to Panini and now Panini is pumping out stuff. I can't even keep up with their school specific sets they are releasing. Every other day they have a new school they are making blasters for. At this rate they will run college cards into the gutter.

No Joke, Michigan is my school and have very little interest in buying a $20 blaster box. I'm glad I collect singles and don't bust to many boxes
