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