Panini Peek: 2012-13 Panini Signatures
http://paniniamerica.wordpress.com/pani ... asketball/Autographs are nothing new in the hobby, but 2012-13 Panini Signatures Basketball pushes the boundaries of the presentation.
Just as the name suggests, the focus of the high-end release is on signed cards.
But that's the same as plenty of other sets. What sets 2012-13 Panini Signatures Basketball
apart is how the cards look.
Many parts of the product, inserts and autographs, use a lot of white space.
Large images are done in a somewhat muted grayscale, further adding to the light look.
What this does is help the colors that do appear, either the signature or a ribbon photo,
pop on the card. The inserts and some of the autographs take similar approaches in this regard.
The 2012-13 Panini Signatures Basketball does not have a base set exactly, but the Chase Rookies,
Chase Stars and Chase Legends inserts take a similar approach --sort of. A total of 15 players
from the double-rookie class are featured in the Chase Rookies set.
Each player has ten different photo variations, making for 150 different cards.
All are numbered to 25. The Chase Stars and Chase Legends are also heavy on variations.
Like the rookies, they're also limited to 25 numbered copies.
But what about the autographs? They combine to fall three per four-card box.
Signatures has a total of 200 cards. There are 150 cards in the Die-Cut Signatures set.
Current players and retired stars are included.
The most distinct part of 2012-13 Panini Signatures Basketball is the Signatures Film set.
These autograph cards have a film slide embedded in them. The checklist is a big 200 cards.
