2014-15 Panini Court Kings Basketball preview

2014-15 Panini Court Kings Basketball puts an artistic spin on the stars and rookies of the NBA. The set features player pictures that look to be hand-painted or have a painted background. Court Kings has plenty of on-card autograph and memorabilia cards from this year’s highly anticipated rookie class.

Several members of that class are featured with their own five-card set. Rookies I-V take five different artistic approaches of the pictures off 33 first year players. The cards come in limited quantities as low as ten.

Autograph cards featuring the 2014 Rookie Class can be found in Fresh Paint and Heir Apparent. Twelve rookie subjects make up the short printed Heir Apparent set with cards numbered to 130. Veteran players from the hardwood have their signature captured in Court Kings Autographs.

Memorabilia cards in Court Kings Basketball include Performance Art Jerseys and 2-On-2 Quad Memorabilia. Both sets have Prime and Super Prime parallels available.

There are also outstanding Art Nouveau patch cards. These feature swatches from jersey numbers, logo patches or entire letters from jersey nameplates. Look for short printed insert cards, including Also Knows As (#’d to 49) and Le Cinque Piu Belle (#’d to the player’s jersey number).

Boxes of Court Kings will include one autograph, one memorabilia card, one Portrait, one rookie and two inserts plus an oversized box topper. There is a limited number of randomly inserted box toppers. Cases will also have hot boxes with additional memorabilia and autograph cards.
