Panini America is aiming to deliver a technicolor twist to the world of basketball cards later this fall with the all-new 2017-18 Ascension Basketball, easily one of the most vivid, striking product releases you’ll see all season long. The product delivers a colorful collecting experience equipped with autographs of the scintillating 2017 NBA Draft class and the game’s top veterans.

2017-18 Ascension Basketball is set to arrive in hobby shops across North America on November 22 and each hobby box (five cards per pack, 12 packs per box, 12 boxes per case) will deliver, on average, one autograph, two Rookie Cards, two Rookie variations and five inserts.


The highlights of 2017-18 Ascension Basketball are many and include . . .

• Rookie Ascent combines color, micro-etching and on-card autographs for a 1990s feel with a modern flair. Delivering both the goods and the looks, this chase promises to be one of the most colorful and collected autograph sets of the year.

• Rookies showcase the top 40 players selected in the 2017 NBA Draft.

• Ascension showcases action, expression and excitement — defining attributes of the NBA.

• Colorful inserts featuring holographic accents, eye-catching designs and unique die-cuts.

• Unique inserts such as Thrill of Victory, Overdrive Cuts, Making History and New Frontiers Die-Cuts embody everything collectors love about chasing and building sets.

We’ll have much more on 2017-18 Ascensions Basketball in the coming weeks here on The Knight’s Lance. For now, though, enjoy this extended sneak peek:
