Don't enter me in the contest because I don't have 200 posts, but have an idea I just want to float out there.

Product Name: Panini New School

Box Break down: 20 packs per box, 15 cards per pack (I like a lot of cards)

3 types of base.

same chance at getting each type of base. they would fill up most of the pack.

(border team colors) base type 1: player is attacking the basket:

inserts:

15 per box on average - (gold cards) <b>awards and honors</b>: e.g. all-rookie team, all nba first team, all nba 2nd team, all-nba 3rd team, MVP, MIP, ROY, Defensive player of the year, scoring leader etc

10 per box on average - <b>Up & Comers</b> (rookie inserts) - players drafted in the first 2 rounds on metallic blue sparkly cards.

1 in every box - <b>Crunch Time</b>: checklist limited to players who are great in crunch time (e.g. Kobe, Wade, Yes Lebron, Billups, Ray Allen, Dirk, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Chris Paul etc.
(this inserts would be numbered /99 maybe) - Cards would be bronze colour.

1 in per box on average: <b>Real Memorabilia</b> - They would be game worn (NOT event worn. Not pre-season worn, Not Warm-up). Only starters and first round picks would be on the checklist (numbered to /50 maybe) - colour of the card would be the teams colours the player is on

1 Auto in every other pack on average <b>Straight Signatures</b> Only starters and first round picks would be on the checklist (numbered to /25 maybe) - white card background that pops with several colours

Per case: either one 1/1 printing plate auto or /5 or less auto mem. Make Lebron and Kobe /5, but players like Jason Terry make 1/1. These hits would be black and white (even the mem would be black or white).

Also in every box instead of a redemption I would include a coupon for another box of a panini product ($5 off coupon valid for licensed retailers of the product only (expiry date 2 years from when the product was released)

I would also have a card 1 in 1000 boxes would win a free box of a panini product priced up to $75 MSRP. Hopefully that would help revive the hobby getting more people back to being hardcore collectors.
