2018-19 Panini Impeccable Basketball Cards

This is an awesome product. Being a guy from Boston, I am grateful to have Boston centric players. Was able to get a McHale numbers auto from my case but most of all I was able to get a Luka metal card too.

Agree with taking out lower tier class D veteran signers out of this product. Veteran players averaging less than 10PPG career wise should not be included.

For the numbers theme auto sets:
I would suggest they take the top 20 All time scoring list as signers (love to see Lebron, Michael and Duncan here someday, but Upper Deck owns their autos). Or Top 10 All time Assist leaders or top 10 All time games played (Parish, Jabbar, Stockton, Dirk, Malone, Carter etc.)

I reckon this product will go up in value more since imagine you pull an RPA of a Luka that is worth $3K. That is a key ON CARD auto rookie patch. Comparing previous National Treasure to this, I say this is on the top as the Most Prestigious product by Panini this season.

I bought of 2 cases on this one and I absolutely LOVE this product. Sure I can put this 2nd best overall for me due to the high price tag (my first currently is still crown royale) Here is why?

1) Design – simple and yet elegant. The whiteness of the product makes it classy and not cluttered.

2) Veteran player selection – good. The only ones terrible are Ernie DiGregorio. Enes Kanter, Junior Bridgeman. They should no longer be included in any Panini future products. They taint the product like donuts to your steak. The good thing is that at least there are many signers like from team base Lakers, Celtics, etc. Why not expand to champions teams like Mavs or Bulls.

3.) Autos – great. Nicely done. Each card from Impeccable are on card that is clean, crisp and classy. They are even than the National Treasure version.

4.) Collation – good. Balance on bad and good players. Some hits offset the bad ones making it worthwhile.

5.) Hits – I got a Lebron James silver and Charles Barkley auto from first case then got Bagley metal card on the second case.

Overall for $600 per box, I absolutely LOVE this product. Pricey yes, but they are worth it since the product is well done.

Steep, but great if you get good hits! Do the metal auto cards also have a protective film on front and back?
