Panini America Delivers Detailed First Look at 2015-16 Spectra Basketball (Gallery)



In terms of new product releases, Panini America’s Optichrome-enhanced Spectra franchise didn’t take long at all to resonate with even the most discriminating collectors. It launched near the end of the 2013 NFL trading card season and, based on early feedback, was almost immediately added to the company’s NBA roster for the 2013-14 season.

In the two years since, Spectra Basketball has consistently delivered some of the most aesthetically striking autograph and memorabilia cards on the market, using an intoxicating combination of vibrant Prizm colors and must-touch memorabilia pieces. For 2015-16 Spectra Basketball, look for that trend to continue.


Set to arrive in hobby shops across North America in early June, 2015-16 Spectra Basketball will deliver seven autograph or memorabilia cards in every 10-card box. Every autograph card in the set will also include a piece of memorabilia and the new City Limits insert will provide a riveting one-per-case chase.

Highlight of this year’s release are many and include . . .

• Every autograph in 2015-16 Spectra Basketball is loaded with a piece of memorabilia that is numbered from 149 all the way down to one.
• Look for massive memorabilia swatches of both veterans and rookies in the Materials Prizms and Rookie Jumbo Jersey sets numbered to 49.
• Find on-card autographs of the top rookies and veterans from the 2015-16 season as well as on-card autographs from some of the game’s greatest legends.
• The new City Limits insert falls roughly once per case.

We’ll have plenty more on 2015-16 Spectra Basketball in the coming weeks right here on The Knight’s Lance. Until then, enjoy this extended sneak peek:

The Panini America Quality Control Gallery: 2015-16 Spectra Basketball (66 Sweet Pics)



No matter how many products release in a given trading card season across all sports, the one thing collectors can rely on is the fact that Panini America’s Spectra franchise will deliver more than its fair share of visually arresting hits. But since its inaugural release late in the 2013-14 NBA season, Spectra Basketball always has been more than just crafty execution of Optichrome technology and flashy colors.

It’s about a deep and talented roster of autograph and memorabilia content. It’s about chase-inducing parallels and to-die-for die-cuts. It’s about honoring the game’s hottest rookies, greatest current stars and most coveted legends with cutting-edge production qualities and big-pull potential. That’s certainly the recipe for 2015-16 Spectra Basketball, which arrives in hobby shops across North America next Wednesday to tipoff the month of June on a high note.


The Panini America Basketball Product Development Team spent some quality time earlier this week quality controlling this year’s stunning iteration during the packout process. The Quality Control Gallery that follows below showcases some of the stunners that surfaced as a result.

Each 10-card box of 2015-16 Spectra Basketball delivers seven autograph or memorabilia cards, on average. You can eye many of the possibilities in the must-see gallery that follows. Enjoy the sneak peek and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage.
