PANINI’S 2019-20 CERTIFIED BASKETBALL FOLLOWS THE HISTORIC BRAND’S SUCCESSFUL GAME PLAN

- - Ryan Cracknell

With 2019-20 Panini Certified Basketball cards, collectors are going to find the focus is on a couple of areas. For starters, there’s autographs, which combine to land two per box. Additional inserts are plentiful with one appearing in those packs that don’t have a signature. Parallels have long been a part of Certified and that continues here with one per hobby pack. Factor in the base cards, and Certified’s variety should be apparent.

2019-20 PANINI CERTIFIED BASKETBALL OVERVIEW

Despite the mix of stuff in the product, one of its cornerston­es are the Freshman Fabric Signatures cards. Landing one per hobby box, these have an autograph and memorabili­a from one of the season’s rookies. Parallels bring with them smaller print numbers as well as premium swatches.

Rookie Roll Call is another place for first-year ink. e highlight on these are the on-card signatures as well as multiple parallels.

Keeping with the hard-signature theme is Ballot Busters. e checklist for these consists entirely of Hall of Famers.

Certified Signatures and Legendary Signatures combine to include current stars, up-and-comers and retired NBA standouts.

Gold Team returns as one of the product’s regular inserts, putting the league’s best players on display with a gold hue design. It’s one of the short print insert sets in 2019-20 Certified Basketball.

Raise the Banner, which spotlight NBA Champions through the years, and Record Breakers are among the product’s other tough finds.

Like past years, the base set is a mix of vets and rookies. Parallels come in a variety of colors including new Mirror Camo.
