If you’ve paid close attention to The Knight’s Lance or the Panini America Instagram feed in the last few weeks, you’ve no doubt seen subtle glimpses of something called 2014-15 Luxe Basketball. Today, you’re going to see a whole lot more. 2014-15 Luxe Basketball is a hits-only, high-end NBA creation that will hit hobby shops in mid July as one of the most limited products of the season.

Each four-card box will deliver three on-card autographs and one jumbo-prime memorabilia card; the product also will feature the first metal-bordered cards in Panini America’s history (Luxe Autographs). Every card produced for Luxe will be numbered to 99 or less and will include either an on-card autograph, a jumbo piece of memorabilia or both.

We’ll have plenty more to preview on 2014-15 Luxe Basketball in the coming days here on The Knight’s Lance. Until then, though, here’s a breakdown of additional highlights . . .

• Look for dynamic die-cut autographs featuring the NBA’s biggest stars.
• The Luxe Autographs insert features the first metal-bordered cards in Panini America’s history and on-card autographs from some of the game’s top rookies, current stars and all-time legends.
• The aptly named Memorabilia Autographs chase delivers some of the finest hard-signed memorabilia cards of the year and is paralleled by a Prime version that’s numbered to 25 or less.
• The Memorabilia Die-Cuts Prime insert boasts a rainbow-array of die-cut prime-memorabilia cards (Red, Blue, Gold and Black) numbered to as low as one.

And here are the images . . .

The Panini America Quality Control Gallery: 2014-15 Luxe Basketball (36 Must-See Pics)



As the late August blaze continues its sweltering run through North Texas, it’s fitting that Panini America officials are ending the summer on a similar hot streak when it comes to the final stages of the 2014-15 NBA collecting portfolio. Even as last week’s release of 2014-15 National Treasures Basketball continues its torrid ways on the secondary market, company officials and collectors also are readying more high-end heat to hit the market.

The international-only 2014-15 Gala Basketball should start arriving in foreign destinations in the coming days, followed closely by next Wednesday’s North American release of 2014-15 Luxe Basketball. To date, previews of 2014-15 Luxe Basketball have been relatively light, with the exception of the preliminary product information and an early look at some ofthe first autograph returns. Today, we’re going to take a look at just some of the results from the recently completed Quality Control process.


Each four-card box of 2014-15 Luxe Basketball will deliver three on-card autographs and one jumbo-prime memorabilia card; the product also features the first metal-bordered cards in Panini America’s history (Luxe Autographs). Every card produced for Luxe will be numbered to 99 or less and will include either an on-card autograph, a jumbo piece of memorabilia or both.
