Tentative Panini 2020-21 NBA Basketball Card Calendar
Under normal circumstances, the 2020-21 basketball season would be getting underway right about now. Instead, the Lakers are still basking in the glory of their championship and the 2019-20 season is coming to a close. The draft still needs to happen, players need to sign new contracts and a lot of the planning still needs to take place. It’s looking like it’ll simply be the “2021 NBA season” with things not getting underway until the new year. That shift in schedule means some changes for the 2020-21 basketball card season as well with products moving back to be in line with the league.
Collectors can still expect to see 2020-21 Hoops to kick off the NBA card season. However, instead of the fall, it won’t arrive until January. 2020-21 Panini Prizm is now planned for early March.
Here’s a look at some of the planned lines and early release dates for 2020-21 NBA basketball cards. It is tentative and it is very possible things could shift by the time the season rolls out.
