Product Details

Year two for the shiny offshoot, 2019-20 Panini Contenders Optic Basketball covers top NBA stars and rookies with Optichrome. Each Hobby box averages one autograph.

2019-20 Panini Contenders Optic Basketball Base / Inserts

Using a one-pack-per-box format, 2019-20 Panini Contenders Optic Basketball offers five non-hit cards in every box. This should result in one base card and some combination of four inserts or parallels. Among the inserts, Historic Picks highlights the same draft spot from different seasons. In addition, Historic Slams showcases some of the best dunk moments and Uniformity works with a jersey-inspired design.

There’s also the all-new All-Star Aspirations, plus the Superstars die-cut insert with Gold (#/10) and Gold Vinyl (1/1) versions.

2019-20 Panini Contenders Optic Basketball Autographs

In terms of the autograph selection, the 2019-20 Panini Contenders Optic Basketball checklist makes good use of the famed Ticket line. The Rookie Ticket set is a top draw thanks to the loaded draft class. Chase options include the one-of-one Gold Vinyl parallel. For the more established talent, look into the on-card Veteran Ticket inserts. Going retro is the hard-signed 1982 Tribute Autographs. The autographed cards add limited parallels, as well.
