Product Overview
2023-24 Panini Spectra Basketball send chrome to the high-end. The checklist delivers lots of autographs that are joined by a significant number of memorabilia cards. Of course, there’s also the heavy mix of parallels, many of which go with multiple colors. For those looking for another installment of popular Color Blast inserts? Spectra has those, too.
Panini has no shortage of chromium releases in their portfolio. Prizm is the cornerstone. Select is for the masses. Optic adds a nostalgic twist. Spectra opts for premium elements. This includes the base set and its noticeably thicker stock. The brand has also carved out a niche for having lots of multi-color parallels that add an abstract twist to player rainbows. Astral, Meta and Universal Die-Cut are among those that are exclusive to hobby packs.
Rookie Jersey Autographs are one of the key signature sets. Like standard base cards, these also bring a lot of different parallels. Celestial (/99), Supernova (/75), Interstellar (/49), Astral (/35), Meta (/25), Gold (/10), Marble (/5) and Nebula Logoman (1/1) are only in hobby.
Veteran Dual Patch Autographs, Wavelength Autographs and Triple Autographs are some of the other spots on the checklist with signatures.
Memorabilia themes include Aspiring Patches, Brilliance, Jumbo Rookie Basketballs, Max Impact and New Era.
When it comes to other inserts, Color Blast isn’t the only rarity. Full Capacity makes its Spectra debut.
Hobby is the only place to find Gold (/10) and Gold Vinyl (1/1) parallels for Titan inserts.
