The Panini America Quality Control Gallery: 2015-16 Gala Basketball (39 Must-See Pics)

Panini America’s premiere edition of Gala Basketball, the movie-themed product with the big-budget special effects, arrived late last August with all of the pomp and circumstance of a Hollywood summer blockbuster. That inaugural release included some of the most striking single-card performances of the season, what with the holofoil good looks, film-cell enhancements, masterful memorabilia and the rarest Rookie Cards you’ll ever see.

For its highly anticipated sequel, 2015-16 Gala Basketball returns with a familiar — but no less fantastic — script that delivers everything fans of the first installment loved, not the least of which is a fabulous base-card design. In the trailer gallery that follows, we take a peek at some of the cards that surfaced during last week’s packout process.

2015-16 Gala Basketball arrives in hobby shops across North America tomorrow with each five-card box yielding, on average, four on-card autographs or memorabilia cards numbered to 60 or less.
