After making an extremely successful debut in Football earlier this year, Press Pass Legends will have its hardwood unveiling in 2007.  With 18-pack hobby boxes delivering at least 5 hard autographs and 1 game-used jersey card, collectors have a chance to obtain not only all-time greats from the past, but the legends of the future as well.  On top of being able to find autographs of the top rookies for 2006, such as Adam Morrison and J.J. Redick, the set will also include the likes of Bill Russell, Larry Bird and Jerry West, all featured in photos from their collegiate careers.  Each pack will yield at least one sequentially numbered card, every box will deliver at least three legendary autographs, and 1 of 1 Press Plates will fall at least one per case!

Four distinct autograph designs will be featured in 2006-07 Press Pass Legends Basketball. Highlighting 64 players, 50 of whom are some of the greatest players in the history of basketball, Signature Series rattles the rafters.  Alumni Association Ink will feature dual autographs of the top players from some of the biggest schools in the country, including UCLA, Indiana, North Carolina, and Kansas.  Showcasing 10 legends of the hardwood, Legendary Legacy Marks honors names such as Bill Walton, Pat Riley, Isiah Thomas, and Clyde Drexler, and the Platinum parallel is numbered to only 25.  Finally, Naismith Award Winners pays tribute to the superstars who have earned the coveted award as the nation's top player, including the likes of Larry Bird, David Robinson, and Danny Manning, and includes a Platinum parallel numbered to just 25.

Delivering collectors game-used jerseys of several high profile draft picks and current NBA stars, Saturday Swatches highlights players such as Chris Paul, Danny Granger, Sean May, and LaMarcus Aldridge.  These will likely be some of the only collegiate game-used jersey cards ever issued for many of these players.  Saturday Swatches Platinum is sequentially numbered to 50 and showcases a premium piece of jersey on each card.

"We expect Press Pass Legends Basketball to be one of the top products released this year," explained Nick Matijevich, Product Manager for Press Pass, Inc.  "While continuing our tradition of delivering collectors player-touched, hard autographs, we've taken this set to the next level with the tremendous retired content.  Player collectors and school collectors alike are going to be wowed by the amazing collegiate photography we've been able to come up with, some of it originating as far back as the 1950's.  After the success of Legends Football, we felt like now was the time to deliver a high quality product focusing on legendary players in basketball."

2006-07 Press Pass Legends Basketball features a 70-card premium base set and is slated to release on January 24, 2007.
