Questions about Basketball Release ??

[Gameday Online]

Hi All,

Launching the new Gameday Trading Cards website later this year. Working on the Basketball library as we speak. Have a few general questions I am hoping long time collectors on here can help me with. Will add them in this thread as I go.

First Question.

Is it correct that the Flair release of sets was a Fleer produced product ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Flair was produced by Fleer untill mid 2000's, its now owned by Upper Deck.
I Think....hope this helps.

Appreciate the answer thanks.

My next question is about Panini.

I have not had much to do with basketball trading cards in recent times and know little about Panini release. My question is:

What are the main Panini release they bring out each season for Basketball ? Do they have sets that they release each year under the same name ?

Thanks in Advance

Somewhere between half and 75% of product returns each year.

Gold Standard (5 years), National Treasures (4 years), Immaculate (3 years), Flawless (3 years), prestige (3 years) hoops (4 years), Prizm (3 years), Select (3 years), Totally Certified (5 years) and preferred (4 years) are probably the core group. There's a bunch of products that appeared twice (elite, crusades, panini base brand, etc)

Thanks for that.

Other than Panini and Upper Deck what card companies are releasing Basketball sets in 2014 / 2015 ?

Maybe Leaf, and I count them very loosely.

The thing with Leaf is, they don't have a license, so none of the players jerseys have the team names or logos on them.
Upper Deck has no NBA license either, hence the college uniforms.

New Question

Was Superior Pix just a release name or was it a manufacturer of trading cards. If so anyone have any superior pix cards?

 

[nichj99]

According to Wikipedia they were a manufacturer

Yes have seen that. Don't always trust wiki. Was hoping someone on here would have memory of them or cards made by them.
