Like the cultural influencers who shine on the red carpet at your favorite Hollywood awards show, Panini America’s National Treasures Basketball comes dressed to impress every . . . single . . . year. It’s a high-end heat generator that honors the NBA’s promising future, outstanding present and glorious past with an arsenal of cutting-edge trading card creations that are museum-exhibit ready as soon as they’re pulled from those trademark wooden boxes. That’s been the blueprint for the brand’s otherworldly success from the beginning. It’s the one that will most certainly continue when 2018-19 National Treasures Basketball arrives in hobby shops across North America in late April.
