Listed on the checklists...but what do they look like?
Really...a Chinese version??
Any insight on these?

The only differences are as follows -
It's actually part of the 2013-14 Panini International release, not part of panini america. The Design is similar to the hoops set, minus the solid white border.
It is a smaller set - 150 cards.
The text on the back of the base cards is in red, not black.
All of the basic/easy hoops inserts are there but are done differently - if a hoops insert has foil, international doesn't; if it has no foil international does.
There are only two international exclusive inserts - gold signatures and Extra. The gold signatures is a skip numbered parallel set featuring facsimile gold sigs. The Extra insert consists of only two cards (Kobe and Durant) and have overall odds of 2:600 packs. The Chinese version of the Extra insert is autographed (on card or sticker, i don't know).

Wow...any pics of these for comparison?
So not really "chinese" but maybe "italian" since printed by Panini S.P.A probably?? Or was it only released in China?

The 2013-14 panini international product was released through the Panini Grou - not paniniAmerica. The market was primarily Europe and latin america, but a special release was made for china (red backs). The other markets had the standard black print. I have some here .... just not sure if my scanner program is going to work or not.

actually if you looke up "2013-14 panini chinese" there is a blog/thread about it from another site that has the chinese sell sheet.

So what you're saying is that there is the US version, the Italian version, and the Chinese red-back version??? So 3 different??

[taffster74]

two differenr versions - Chinese red-back for the exclusive chinese market and the general international version.

Ah...I think I have it then...Red's seem to be hard to find, and Beckett has photos of the "Italian" version up with people trying to sell them as "Chinese"...(only see black backs up).

Yep, wouldn't surprise me. Like i said, google 2013-14 panini chinese and you'll find a whole thread from some forum with a sell sheet.
