2018-19 Panini National Treasures Basketball Cards

Absolute garbage for the amount of money Panini charge for this product. The first off the line boxes are a complete scam and money grab for what you get for the amount of extra money Panini on sell this for. You get better hits the regular cases which are still a poor excuse for what you pay for them. The amount of redemption cards that come out are also a joke with sub average hits and the trouble you have to go through to redeem the product just doesn’t make it worth while. Panini’s website and access to redeem redemptions is faulty and keeps logging you out saying syntax error. They never return your enquires when emailed and are never contactable via phone. PANINI you have a lot to answer for. The only product worth looking at this year from you has been flawless which basically a face lift of years gone buy for outrageous prices. Considering the resale prices of your products and the original cost to acquire them makes no economical sense for a collector to buy these days. You should be ashamed you have ruined the collectors hobby to increase your margins. The longevity of your product is limited at this rate and needs to be drastically reaccessed to fit in line with the collectors. The people will stop paying for your crap at some point. This is just one of you poor products of the year to revue not to mention
selects (quality) Leather and Lumber (absolute joke) Contenders Basketball (quality), Donruss (quality) Flawless (pricing and lack of creative change in years gone by) Just to name a few like i said very few things right this year. Bring back Upper Deck I hope Zion doesn’t sign with you Panini it will be sweet justice.

Every year I always buy at least one box. I know if I don’t open it keep better value. This year I knew Luka will drive the price up. So I preordered two months before the release I got $1020 . After the release the box is already up to $1350 . I can’t help my self open the box. Bam Luka Doncic rpa /99 , Jamall Mashburn Jersey auto. Panini is been great for me this year . Crown royal I hit Shaq auto and Sexton silhouette from two box’s.

If you scored FOTL for $750, you’re at least guaranteed a low numbered RPA which can help you recoup some of your investment (even though you’re likely to hit a lesser known rookie). On the secondary market, don’t bother with FOTL near $3k a box. It’s insane.

But the regular product, Jesus. I see group breaks going for over $5k a case, and the vast majority of the cards are junk game-used and sticker autos. You better hope you hit a key RPA or a logoman 1/1 or something, otherwise you’re toast.

It’s not all Panini’s fault. These are being marked up way too high in the secondary market. I saw the other day a fake meat company IPO’d and trades at like 50x sales. Well, we’ve got a bubble in the card market too.

pure and utter garbage…..the price point for this product is insane ..a bunch of high dollar commons and if u get lucky an RPA that is name plater..the hobby is in a bubble folks

You’re better off saving your money on boxes and just bidding for the players / cards that you like on ebay…

I’m pretty new to this hobby so I’m not sure what the old prices were in previous years.. but I feel bad seeing people buy a case and get a bunch of not-so well known players.

Also I’m surprised at the amount of sticker autographs there are for such an expensive product.. even for the “One of Ones” there are sticker autographs!

I bought one box, since I can’t afford a case for this one. So typically, if you bought one box this could be the average of what you see.

For 10 cards, it was a nightmare.

I got a Rodney Hood base card numbered to 99. Then Colossal Materials of Enes Kanter, Treasured Threads of Courtney Lee and Tremendous Treasure of JR Smith. If I am in Cleveland, I would be happy but I am from Boston. At least got a Rookie Materials for Devonte Graham.

For the autos: I got a Mike Bibby Clutch Factor, Jerome Williams Penmanship STICKER auto, Isaac Bonga International Treasures (had to google for sure that there is an actual player like him) and Peerless Signature of Junior Bridgeman. Sometimes I wondered if this is really an NBA product?

The plate 1 of 1 I got was a DJ Augustin.

Since it is National Treasure, should the names included should be at least National Treasure as the name implies. There are sticker autos. There are are useless names.

This product is not worth it and imagine if you get the cards similar to what I have. Great if you get the good ones which could occur 1 out of 100 times you open one.

Best advice: save your money and go after Impeccable or Crown Royale.

A product that Panini should be ashamed of. A horrid checklist for a super premium product. Panini is well aware that this product will be selling to collectors for insane money–and yet they filled it with garbage. Do NOT invest in this product–the ROI on this product is so low that it should be criminal. I’ve been in rooms where breakers have had to apologize to their customers because this stuff is so bad. Thank god I didn’t pre-order or buy any of this. SMH

xavier mcdaniel and scott skiles are not hot sellers but not as bad as being on that list

These are what you get out of the case. I highly double what I purchased is a basketball product! Shame for such an expensive product.
