Panini America officials will take a page from the hobby’s proud past for the debut edition of 2012-13 Brilliance Basketball, the newest addition to the company’s packed NBA roster that will deliver, among other things, a 300-card base set, landmark Starburst and Artists Proofs parallels, and the City to City dual-memorabilia insert set inspired in part by a recommendation from a Panini America collector.

Releasing in late May, 2012-13 Brilliance Basketball (six cards per pack, 20 packs per box) is bolstered by a 240-card Marks of Brilliance autograph insert, 60 Brilliant Beginnings rookie autographs and the Game Time Jerseys game-worn memorabilia insert. On average, each box of Brilliance will yield two autographs, one memorabilia card, two Starburst parallels and 13 additional inserts.

Also look for compelling inserts such as Team Tomorrow (20 cards), Spellbound (100 cards), Scorers, Inc. (20 cards), Magic Numbers (15 cards) and the 25-card Springfield Hall of Fame tribute.

We’ll have tons more to preview of 2012-13 Brilliance Basketball right here on The Knight’s Lance in the coming weeks. Until then, enjoy your first extended look at the product below.

Embossing is Boss: Panini America Explores 2012-13 Brilliance Basketball (Gallery)



Panini America officials raised more than a few eyebrows when they announced in early March the addition of 2012-13 Brilliance Basketball to the NBA product roster. But for the product itself, they raised a lot more than than that.

By incorporating some good, old-fashioned embossing, mirror board stock and intricate design and type treatments, Panini America’s creative folks delivered a set with differences that you can see and feel. As a result, perhaps the true brilliance of Brilliance is not so much the set’s autograph and memorabilia content (which is quite stellar) as it is the raised-relief effect that shines on every card.

It’s an effect that must be witnessed firsthand to be truly appreciated, but after spending some quality time this morning with some early preview cards and a few shiny uncut sheets, we think the following images will give you a unique perspective regarding exactly what to expect. Personally, I’m a big fan of the way the Springfield insert came out, but here’s betting you’ll find something to admire in the Spellbound, Team Tomorrow, Magic Numbers and Scorer’s Inc. offerings, too.

Take a look and let us know what you think. And stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for additional coverage of 2012-13 Brilliance Basketball in the coming days.
