2013-14 Panini Crusade :
Panini Peek: 2013-14 Panini Crusade
http://paniniamerica.wordpress.com/pani ... asketball/In early May, the collecting crusade that captivated hardcore hoops fans last year, is coming back for a whole new season
and this time, it’s bringing a lower price point, a lower print run and even more Crusade cards with it.
Rest assured, Panini America’s 2013-14 Crusade Basketball will pack a few more surprises, too.
Due out May 7, each box of 2013-14 Crusade
will deliver 18 Crusade inserts, one autograph card and one memorabilia card, all for a cost-effective $70 SRP.
Company officials are adding three new collectible colors to the Crusade rainbow this year
(including Teals numbered to 299, Orange Die-Cuts numbered to 99 and Golds numbered to just 10)
and bringing back popular brand staples such as Quest Memorabilia (featuring a prime parallel).
Other highlights of 2013-14 Crusade include . . .
High Praise Ink : Featuring autographs from some of the NBA’s biggest stars.
Apprentice Signatures : Featuring autographs from the top rookies of 2013-14.
All-new autographs sets including Hardwood Homage and Sultans of Springfield featuring signatures from legends of the game
and members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
2013-14 Crusade Basketball features a 150-card base set with 50 Rookie Cards and 50 Legends (both of which fall roughly one in three packs)
the base insert lineup includes Nobility, Royalty and Knight Court sets that are paralleled by Silver (numbered to 25),
Gold (numbered to 10) and Black 1/1 parallels.
We’ll have plenty more to preview on 2013-14 Crusade Basketball in the coming weeks right here on The Knight’s Lance.
But for now, enjoy this first extended sneak peek :
2013-14 Panini Crusade Basketball once again highlights the distinct insert made popular in the 1990s.
But rather than being the hit-per-pack product it was last year, it is centered more on the Crusade brand.
That's not to say there aren't any hits. There are. But instead of three of each per box, there's just one.
At the same time, there are far more of the Crusade cards.
Collectors should find three Crusade cards per pack rather than one like it was in 2012-13.
That's a total of 18 per box. The chromium-style (or Prizm) cards come with several parallels.
New for 2013-14 Panini Crusade Basketball are Teal (#/249), Orange Die-Cut (#/99) and Gold (#/10).
The design sticks with a regal theme, just as they have always had.
Autographs come with a mix of themes that highlight rookies, veterans and retired players.
Apprentice Signatures is a 40-card set that's all first-year players.
High Praise Ink centers on the NBA's bigger names.
Hardwood Homage and Sultans of Springfield are where the legends signatures are found.
Swatches can be found in Quest Memorabilia, an insert that highlights young stars (not just rookies).
http://www.cardboardconnection.com/2013 ... ball-cardsCollectors can find 18 Crusade cards in every box. The new colors are Teal (numbered to 249), Orange Die-Cut (numbered to 99)
and Purple (numbered to 49). Other parallels include Blue, Red (numbered to 349), Gold (numbered to 10), Green (numbered to 5) and Black (1-of-1).
Each box will come with six packs and five cards in each pack.
There will be one autograph and memorabilia card in every box.
The autograph sets include Quest, High Praise Ink, Hardwood Homage, Sultans of Springfield, Majestic Marks
and Apprentice Signatures, which features up to 40 rookies.
There will be at least one memorabilia card in every box from Quest (numbered to 299 or less), Quest Prime (numbered to 25 or less),
Majestic (numbered to 299 or less) or Majestic Prime (numbered to 25 or less).
The base set will consist of 150 cards with another 50 Rookie Cards (one in three packs)
and 50 Legends (one in three packs).
The inserts include Nobility (1:14), Royalty (1:18) and Knight Court (1:18).
