2014-15 Panini Spectra Basketball has no basic autograph cards, instead they’re all autographed memorabilia cards. The cards come 8 cards per pack, and 1 pack per box. Each pack/box comes with one rookie jersey autograph and 7 additional cards. You are not guaranteed a hit in the spectacular insert set in each box, making this one of the more desirable cards in the set. Boxes sell for between $250 and $500.
This is an incredible rare on-card autograph and game used shoe card of Kobe Bryant from the 2013-14 Panini National Treasures product. This was the second year of the National Treasures packs, and the cards remain ultra-high end.
New to the 2013-14 inserts in Panini National Treasures Basketball are Sneaker Swatches Autographs. This rare set of 25 come with pieces of game-used sneakers. While Jersey pieces have become a staple of many modern sets, game used shoe swatches are far more rare. Both current and retired players are included and the cards are each limited to 30-60 total made.
It is important to note that unlike other Panini products, there are no parallels in this set. The Kobe Bryant for instance has just 39 autographed cards produced. There are no “gold” or varying level of “prizm” cards in this set to further confuse limitations. Each shoe/autograph card is limited to exactly what you see stamped on the front.
NBA Trader is the only recorded source to have collected the entire 25-player set including Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Shaquille O’Neal, Grant Hill, David Robinson, Penny Hardaway, Kyrie Irving, John Stockton, Blake Griffin, Larry Johnson, Deron Williams and more.

We have a pair of ultra rare, amazing JUMBO jersey cards from 2014-15 Panini Spectra. The two cards capture two huge jersey pieces, one blue and one yellow. The yellow is the only one we have ever seen (likely from the center of the jersey) as there is no perforation and all of the other jersey pieces have been blue.
Both cards look like gems as they shine in the refractor-like rainbow sheen brought to us by Panini Prizm technology.

GRANT HILL CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:
Grant Hill was drafted by the Detroit Pistons with the third pick in the NBA draft after graduating from Duke in 1994. In his first season, he averaged 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.77 steals per game, and became the first Pistons rookie since Isiah Thomas in 1981–82 to score 1000 points.
He shared the NBA Rookie of the Year Award honors with Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks, becoming the first Piston since Dave Bing in 1966–67 to win the award. In his second season (1995–96), he once again led the All-Star fan balloting, this time edging Michael Jordan (Jordan’s first All-Star game after returning since retiring in 1993).
During the 1995–96 season, Hill showcased his all-round abilities by leading the NBA in triple-doubles (10). He also won a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta as a member of the U.S. men’s basketball team, where he had the team’s fifth highest scoring average (9.7) and led the team in steals (18). In 1996–97 season, Hill averaged 21.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He became the first player since Larry Bird in 1989–90 to average 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in a season, an accomplishment that has not been duplicated since.
On June 1, 2013, Hill announced his retirement from professional basketball after 19 seasons in the NBA. He later joined NBA TV as an analyst.
This is a gorgeous card from the ultra rare and insert-filled Immaculate Collection. Taking design cues from Upper Deck, this set and Panini’s ‘Flawless’ are the top choices for premium inserts in the 2012-13 season.
This card features a rare letter “logo” patch from the front of Melo’s New York Knicks Jersey. Very bold and clean, the top of the “K” can be seen on the jersey swatch.
Carmelo Anthony had one of his best scoring seasons ever in 2012-13 and carried the Knicks to many of their wins. He remains a top player in the NBA.

One of Kobe’s most valuable and most sought after rookie cards. The 1996-97 Topps Chrome RC came in packs of the retail-only Topps Chrome in the mid 90’s. Cards wee on the rise and giants like Walmart wanted a piece of the action.
At the same time hobby dealers were not interested in purchasing a parallel product that retails were also going to have, so it became exclusive to the big box stores, and as a result far fewer of the boxs/packs/cards were produced.
The set is very condition sensitive as the majority of them were horribly centered and others has surface issues.
Our BGS 8 Kobe Chrome RC is one the the best centered cards we’ve seen with beautiful corners and edges. The only factor bringing it down was the surface which has the slight green tint that many of the chrome cards have exhibited.
This is a key card for any Kobe or 1990’s basketball collector. The card is part of a 220 card set (which we also have available for sale).
The stated odds for 1996-97 Topps Chrome are: Refractor parallels (1:12) lead the chase element. Other inserts include ProFiles (20 cards, 1:8), Season’s Best (25 cards, 1:6) and YouthQuake (1:12, 15 cards).
Boxes carried 20 four-card packs. The base set features a chromium (finest or prizm-like) take on the base Topps design from the same year.
A very rare and awesome die cut autograph card from Panini Preferred. This Crown Royale Panini Choice Award Silver Edition, autographed die-cut card features a bold blue autograph from Kevin Durant.
Aside from the Gold (10) , Green (5) and Black (1) editions, this is one of the rarest cards in the entire set.
This is a gorgeous Elite Status Die Cut Autograph card, hand signed by Kevin Durant. The card features and ON CARD autograph, and die cut sides. The card is limited to Durant’s Jersey number (35). The autograph is bold and clear, and looks amazing on this extremely limited insert.
