ONYX VINTAGE BASKETBALL

FIRST 2021 22 SET COVERS GAME’S PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

2021-22 Onyx Vintage Basketball sees the card maker expand further into other sports. For years, Onyx focused on baseball. Earlier in 2021, there was a football set.

Now the company is making its hardwood debut with an autograph-heavy checklist that includes prospects, current stars and retired greats.

Hobby boxes have just four cards, two of which are autographs.

Like other Onyx Vintage sets, the foundation is an original design that gives off some serious retro vibes.

All signatures in Onyx Vintage Basketball are on-card. Versions include Blue, Green (50 copies), Red (25 copies) and Black (5 copies). A small number of cards also feature inscriptions.

A full checklist is not yet available but Onyx has confirmed some of the current players with signatures in the set. ‰ese include Stephen Curry, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Tyrese Haliburton. Jimmy Butler, who hasn’t signed much over the years (nothing in the past couple of years card-wise), is also in the product.

2021-22 Onyx Vintage Basketball isn’t limiting itself to just men’s players. Candace Parker and Sabrina Ionescu are on the checklist.

Collectors can expect a heavy concentration of prospects and projected dra• picks.

Among them is a s pecial redemption for a p iece of autographed memorabilia from the f irst pick in the 2021 d raft — whoever that may be — i s randomly inserted in b oxes.
