Panini brings back NBA Finals Promo Packs for 2016
By Stephen Laroche | Beckett Basketball Editor
One of the hobby’s hottest promotions is back again and Panini America has unleashed some seriously scarce cards in its 2016 NBA Finals Promo Packs.
Depending on the size of order that a collector makes through iCollectPanini.com, they will receive between one and eight 2016 NBA Finals Promo Packs. Each pack contains one card which will either be a Private Signings autograph featuring today’s stars, yesterday’s legends, and hot rookies or an autographed memorabilia card from a member of this year’s freshman crop.
Most of the cards are also going to have a one-of-one parallel version. Supplies of these cards are limited and are only available online until they are sold out. Panini has noted that there are specific bundles tied in to how many packs a collector receives and the breakdown is listed here.
Panini is also bringing back its #PaniniWildCard contest on Twitter and fans will have a chance to win prizes during every quarter of each game of the 2016 NBA Finals.
