PANINI’S REVOLUTION

IT’S A MARCH RELE ASE FOR 2021 RE VOLUTION BASKETBALL

Sometimes when you’re busting a box of cards, you want the promise of hits. Other times, you just want something flashy and fun. 2020-21 Panini Revolution Basketball is definitely more of the latter — although there is the potential for those hits as well.

is is one of the rare hobby products that doesn’t guarantee any autographs or memorabilia cards in a box. Instead, the focus is on the foil designs, bold inserts and popping parallels.

e foundation of most any product is its base set. It’s even more so for one like this. e checklist has 150 total base cards. Veterans take up two-thirds of that with rookies accounting for the final 50.

Like past Revolution releases, parallels don’t go the usual color route. Instead, the foil background bring in some big patterns with unique names:

• Astro

• Groove

• Fractal

• Impact

• Cosmic

• Sunburst

• Cubic

• Lava

• Galactic

These combine to land four per hobby box or every other pack.

2020-21 Revolution also has a handful of insert sets that compliment the base set with flashy designs of their own. Liftoff, Rookie Revolution, Shock Wave, Supernova and Vortex all return with new batches of cards. e have Cubic and Galactic versions as well.

Although Autographs and Rookie Autographs are somewhat tough, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. e smaller quantity allows for a higher concentration of bigger names. Signatures are on-card.
