Springs Says: Does absence make the heart grow fonder? In a 2011-12 BK world of limited (pun intented) releases and with just Hoops and Past and Present (entry level and new product) on the market, Limited has benefited. The fact that this is the first very familiar release from Panini has this product heavily broken and the cards selling well and in some cases, above previous value levels from previous Limited basketball releases. The 2012 Draft Pick Redemptions are also selling stronger than in Past and Present because it appears the cards may be in smaller supply — not confirmed, but possible.
Olds’ Opinion: It’s familiar, it’s got foilboard and it’s got nearly everything one would expect to find in a Limited release.
