2019-20 Basketball Cards Overview
Heading into the season, it was a big year for basketball cards. Really big. The reason? Zion Williamson. The rookie arrived with a ton of hype and massive expectations. His Rookie Cards were featured in products throughout the year. Panini signed the first overall pick to a deal that meant autographs throughout the season as well.
Other key rookies included Ja Morant and RJ Barrett.
Panini had exclusive rights for NBA cards. This has been the case since the 2009-10 season began. They also had extensive exclusive college rights.
In 2019-20, the card maker also added the WNBA license to its portfolio, taking over from Rittenhouse, who had been covering the league with box sets for more than a decade.

Ugh. Waiting until the 23rd for Hoops makes me sad.
What Basketball Cards are released to retail (target & Wal Mart)? And what are the release dates for retail? Such as Target and Wal Mart.
@Eric – We do our best to note sets that have a retail component as well as hobby. Retail release dates vary but are usually within a week or two before or after the hobby date.
It would be nice if Panini could roll back this schedule a bit to match the NBA’s earlier start date the last couple of years.
Or, if by releasing them later, they could ensure that the Kawhi Leonards of the league would be depicted in their new uniforms.
Last year, on the retail end, we had to wait until the All-Star break (Contenders) to get LeBron in his new Lakers uniform.
Panini did a great job with NFL stuff this year – had rookies in their pro uniforms in Prestige even before training camp started.
Hopefully basketball can follow suit.
2019-20 Collegiate Draft Picks PRIZM Blaster Box … are there any autos in these boxes ?? thanks db
@denis – Autographs are possible in blasters but I don’t think you’re guaranteed to get one.
Are the select and impeccable going to be released retail? Ebay prices are ridiculous.
@Jimmy – both are hobby-only.
Do u know when status is going to be released
@Grayson – Nothing has been announced yet formally. If and when it is, it’ll be added.
Hi Ryan, where you get hobby boxes for MSRP? Panini online?
@Patrick – You’ll probably have to check with dealers. It will likely vary from product to product. Some products are on Panini’s site but this year selling out very fast.
The ‘set details’ link for Chronicles goes to Topps 2020
@Patrick – Thanks. Got it fixed.
Are any of these upcoming ones releasing retail?
@Meezy – We do our best to include retail, when applicable, in the breakdowns on individual posts.
If I am able to, where would I buy these boxes the day they release?
@David – Card shops, online dealers, Panini’s website.
Hi – is there a retail release schedule anywhere? any advice on buying retail packs?
