2020-21 Panini NBA Hoops Basketball Cards

Nice design, well centered photography

I have nothing to say but LOVE IT

A fun and easy way to get b-ball stickers and full-size cards too!. A very large set featuring several cards of each top rookie, glitter versions and short printed numbered cards For $2 a pack I think it’s a great deal and RE-SALE values seem to be strong !

Have you noticed box prices are dropping ? watched my dealer drop them $35.00 a box. has to move it out so he can buy the next overpriced item from panini….. This is not a Hobby anymore. Kids can’t buy a pack anymore!!!!!!! Make some product that true collectors will buy and keep the price down like before We don’t care about your blingy junk you put in there. People are going hungry and you (Panini ) dont seem to care about the little people that kept you in business before. Might as well look for a casino you have better odds on you money return ….

Bought one jumbo pack for $18 pulled Charles Oakley auto but still overpriced as it is the hobby is dying as it becomes unaffordable for the people that supported it when no one else would.

yipper, they only make about a billion cases of Hoops. Don’t let the secret out of the bag that Hoops Premium is a better product than Hoops, it might wake 90% of the hobby up

panini america is completely detached from other panini companies… every state have its own. So it’s Panini America and Americans fault, don’t blame europeans that anyway cannot buy these cards in a through official channel…

I’m a small time dealer who likes to buy the sets and break them down into team sets. Basketball has always been a so-so seller for the team sets, that’s fine. But this will have to be the first year since I started my website in 2003 that I won’t be offering basketball cards. After Topps, I always got a set of Panini Hoops as it was cheap enough I wasn’t going to be sitting on expensive inventory after selling the best 5-6 teams. No way am I going to spend $200+ for a set. At least when Topps offers stuff on their website, at prices you would expect to normally see them at before they too sell out in minutes. I about choked when I saw Panini Hoops go live at $349 box. Glad I got shut out after watching box breaks on Youtube

I love it! Reading the reviews saved me from buying ANY more retail/hobby boxes etc. It’s cheaper and easier to zero in on the card or cards that you like/want on eBay, then buy them from a “breaker”. You may pay a per card price that’s higher, but you’re not getting dozens of cards that you don’t need/want. So…I’ll take my $400.00 and go to eBay to buy what I like. Panini and the seller make out, and I don’t get stuck with a dozen duplicates of Jay Scrubb. Plus, I’m in OG mode now, as many of the new “stars” quite frankly suck when compared to the “stars” of old. Peace.

No idea how 6 rack packs were still in Target at lunch time yesterday – now for 4.99 a pop, great value!!!

I don’t follow the NBA nor do I collect the cards, I’m strictly a hockey and football collector but damn I love reading these reviews. Don’t worry folks, just like the 90s came crashing down from the garbage so will this breaker crap. Hang in there.

The price is way Over the top. What happened to the kid’s ??? Can’t even afford a pack .The pictures in the base set are terrible. Looks like a last minute photo grab. where were they shot very upper tier? Would like to see what the players look like. The Rookies have nice pictures but that’s it. People are drinking used Kool-aid on a secondary market where they think LeMelo Ball is $100.00 or more .Just caused you payed way to much for a box/pack. You can go back and buy a older superstar rookie for that!!!!!

I don’t normally complain about the hobby, it’s just a fun distraction for so many of us. But the price on these direct from Panini has gone up 450% in the last two years. I’m fine with that on the high end lines. But Hoops are the cheap, entry-level cards for people who are in it for the fun of collecting. It’s just sad that you cannot collect ANY basketball cards anymore on a reasonable budget. The people paying $400+ for a hobby box on this deserve to lose every penny they own. But man I feel bad for the rest of us who just like building sets and picking up rookie cards.

Very clean looking cards. Nice action shots. Lots of rookie choices. Auto cards and some great inserts !! Not perfect but nothing is.

Does anybody know when these go on sale at brick & mortar retailers? I see somebody is selling fat packs on eBay (Wiseman on the package) so they have to out there somewhere. But haven’t seen any blaster or mega boxes yet.

Lamelo ball is in this set so this is an automatic 5 stars

$400 for Hoops. GTFO.

Ridiculous pricing. Boycott this product.

Apparently Panini had a release that sold out in minutes at $350. So per my earlier comment Panini is apparently spiking the price. Dear NBA licensers – add 1 or more other companies so that the competition keeps them in control

Online breakers have KILLED THE HOBBY! It started with LUKA, and then ZION. The price gouging and the grading of brand new rookie cards, just to get a 9.5 or 10 so the price goes up! I used to (2years ago) be able to buy cards anytime from my local Walmart and Target stores. Those days are long gone. I just found my empty box of 2020 Prizm basketball, mega box from Walmart, for which I paid less than $50. If I had not opened it, guess what I could have sold it for today? Enough to make you sick! So yes, Hoops 2021. Panini had them on sale for less than 9 minutes, before they sold out at like $300! Hobby box on eBay today, day 1, is around $440! I’m frickin done. No more. I’m going to give my money to Topps from now on. 2021 Series 1- here I come!

Sorry but I am not paying $440 for this product to pull Antonio McDyess autograph.. Sorry but I am done with basketball at these prices. Not that I can’t afford the price, I can but money is better spent elsewhere.

$350.00 + for a hobby box is absolutely ridiculous for a so called mass produced entry level product. This pandemic bubble creating the insane price gouging from the manufacturers will kill the card collecting industry for good.

It literally costs less than $8 for them to make a box of this. I work in print
When this was $65 a box a couple years ago that was fine, but $400 is just plain indescribably. Don’t be that a guy that gets hosed

It keeps on pushing back their release date

Did I miss something or is Zion a rookie again? Well on the bright side you can go get some at WalMart or Target or oh wait… vendors are met in the parking lot and followed from store to store. And as far as who is driving the increase… products where stores can buy directly (Topps, UD) seem to be less impacted by these price gouges versus others where they come via master distributor. And the master distributors have no incentive to be the cheapest so it props costs up.

I am rating this year’s Hoops product one star solely because of the price. Over $400 per box is terrible for what is supposed to be the low end product of the Panini basketball products. If it is going for over $400 per box only because of retailers setting that price then I retract my rating. If however it is because Panini’s wholesale price is very high, then my rating stays.

LMAO you say atrocious draft class when we are what, 2 weeks into the season? Wtf are you talking about man?

Is this also the draft class with the youngest player to ever get a triple double?

The hype and/or misanthropy around rookies when they haven’t even had a chance to prove themselves yet, is a complete joke in this hobby, and anyone that labels this class a bust already is not using logic.

If you are going to buy only one box for the entire season, then Hoops is the box of choice.

But 2019 changed all of that with Zion. Panini capitalized on it so well that price increase was made from 300% to 600%.

The company is literally destroying the industry. Basketball cards should have been for kids. They are the lifeblood of the industry. Making it affordable would entice them to buy and to collect.

Gone are the days, when kids collect a Hoops set and are happy trading their duplicates. 90s was a fun decade wherein card collecting was fun.

Thank you Panini for destroying the hobby, I used to buy cases after cases. For the 2021 season would no longer buy until you change and listen to your customers.

Simple to say, I am NOT paying that price! I am still hurting for paying $600 for a box of Optic with colors nobody wanted and the super duper amazing autograph of Antonio McDyess! Sorry but this is a skip for me. I guess my basketball days are over.

Really hate the Panini monopoly.

Every year, same terrible cards.

Only made for China, the group break gamblers and those with so much money they don’t care what they buy.

$80 box selling for $300?

Someone buys the box, gets a numbered Tyrese Maxey and a Tom Chambers autograph.

European card company should not have a monopoly for NBA cards.

Nice cards but the atrocious draft class this year will hurt. I usually just buy the entire set but will most likely just grab a few of the rookies and go from there.

I really like the 1990-91 tribute. I like their inserts as well. However, I wish Panini would treat Hoops a little bit more like it was in the 90’s. Color backs, coaches, all-star team, and a second series update. Go a tad deeper into the roster. Sometimes starters dont make the base set.

With no Super Rookies, I hope these cards are more affordable. If they are more affordable than this is a Kick A$$ set.

Blah. I miss Topps.
