Panini readies Dallas Mavericks NBA champions set

By Chris Olds | Basketball Editor
If you haven’t heard, the Dallas Mavericks are the NBA champions.
And now comes the championship boxed set from Panini America, the exclusive trading card licensee of the NBA.
Unveiled on Wednesday, the 36-card set will include a card for every member of the team, highlight cards for all 16 playoff victories that came en route to the Larry O’Brien Trophy and cards of coach Rick Carlisle and a card noting Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki.
The set will arrive on July 14 but is available for pre-order on Panini’s website. Collectors who order there will be entered into a drawing to win an autographed Nowitzki game-used card if they are among the first 100 to pre-order.
