When it gets right down to it, you can sum up the collective collecting fascination for Panini America’s vaunted Preferred brand in about six or seven words: Silhouettes. Crown die-cuts. Memorabilia booklets. Autographs. To be sure, those are the most appealing attributes that have made the Preferred franchise a late-season staple during each of the last six seasons. And when 2016-17 Preferred Basketball arrives next week in hobby shops across North America, they’ll be leading the charge yet again.
Actually, you can add two more words to that list this season: Reggie and Miller. In addition to delivering an exciting array of new booklets and an arsenal of compelling design updates (including a new take on the fabled Silhouettes design), 2016-17 Preferred Basketball also delivers the first Miller certified autographs in several years — and they are spectacular.
On average, each four-card hobby box of 2016-17 Preferred Basketball will yield two autographs and two memorabilia booklets from a stacked lineup that includes the drool-worthy NBA Finals Booklets featuring game-worn jerseys from NBA Finals 2016. The revealing Quality Control Gallery that follows offers a deep dive into this year’s release. Enjoy the early look and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage.
You can pre-order 2016-17 Preferred Basketball now at the Panini America online store.
