Panini America Provides Detailed First Look at 2015-16 Excalibur Basketball (Gallery)



Following a successful season in 2014-15 as a Target-exclusive, Panini America’s popular Excalibur Basketball brand will return in limited form to the hobby later this season equipped with fabled chase favorites like the captivating Kaboom! and the multi-colored Optichrome Crusade insert. 2015-16 Excalibur Basketball Premium boxes will be hobby-exclusive; Blaster Boxes and Gravity Feed packs will remain Target exclusives.

Set to arrive in hobby shops across North America in late May, each Premium hobby box of 2015-16 Excalibur Basketball (10 cards per pack, six packs per box) will deliver three autograph or memorabilia cards, six Rookie Cards, six inserts, three numbered Crusade cards and two Excalibur parallels numbered to 70 or less.

Kaboom! cards will fall roughly once per 20-box case and the Crusade rainbow hunt will include a colorful array of rookies and veterans numbered from 199 all the way down to one. Additional highlights of 2015-16 Excalibur Basketball are many and include . . .

• An assortment of autographs and memorabilia in Rookie Rampage Jumbo Jersey Autographs and Prime, Treasured Ink, Regal Endorsements, Monumental Marks and more.
• Look for autograph and memorabilia combinations from the top players in the 2015-16 NBA rookie class, including Prime versions featuring premium jumbo jersey patches.
• Treasured Ink featuring the game’s greatest treasures in this elegantly designed insert that showcases players executing their signature moves.

We’ll have additional information on 2015-16 Excalibur Basketball in the coming weeks right here on The Knight’s Lance, including a complete preview of the Target-exclusive versions. Until then, enjoy this first extended sneak peek:

The Panini America Quality Control Gallery: 2015-16 Excalibur Basketball (100+ Pics)



One week from tomorrow, Panini America’s popular Excalibur Basketball brand — with its Kaboom! inserts and Crusade parallels and rich autograph and memorabilia content — makes its long-awaited hobby debut with the arrival of 2015-16 Excalibur Basketball Premium. The product that debuted last season as a Target-exclusive is ready for its hobby closeup, equipped with the calling-card inclusions that served Excalibur so well during its first year on the market.

Each hobby-exclusive premium box of 2015-16 Excalibur Basketball (Blaster Boxes and Gravity Feed packs remain exclusive to Target stores) will deliver three autograph or memorabilia cards, six Rookie Cards, six inserts, three numbered Crusade cards and two Excalibur parallels numbered to 70 or less. The superhero-inspired — and dastardly short — Kaboom! insert returns as a one-per-case chase and the Optichrome-enhanced Crusade parallels really need no introduction.


In the revealing Quality Control Gallery that follows, we showcase a little bit of everything that surfaced during the recently completed packout process for 2015-16 Excalibur Basketball Premium. Enjoy the sneak peek and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage.
