If patience isn’t your virtue, fret not! Panini has you covered with its 2024-25 One and One Basketball boxes. This product seems custom-built for the adrenaline junkie who thrives on high-stakes excitement compressed into a few heart-stopping moments. We’re talking two cards per box—as in literally two—each encased in a lovely one-touch case that’s perfect for displaying your trophies without risking a desecrating sneeze.
Let’s cut to the chase. Each box promises a guaranteed autograph alongside a base, parallel, insert, or memorabilia card. Imagine getting your hobby kick in the time it takes to microwave your popcorn.
Now, about that Checklist. It’s so colorful it almost needs its own spectrum. While Panini continues their tradition of keeping things unique with base cards numbered out of 99, they’ve decided to crank it up a notch. Say hello to the new Orange parallels (/49), joining the dynamic range of Blue (/35), Purple (/25), Red (/15), Gold (/10), Green (/5), alongside the ultra-coveted Black one-of-one. It’s like a rainbow, but for those who aspire to catch lightning in a bottle.
But let’s not forget the inserts! The Downtown inserts make a glorious return, giving collectors a little extra shimmer with new Downtown All Star variations. Because, let’s face it, why limit the fun to merely Downtown when you could be living it up as an All Star Downtown?
Adding to the mix are inserts like Fourth Dimension, the metal-printed Permit to Dominate, Manga, Prizmania, and the showstopping Black Color Blast. It’s a kaleidoscopic array that makes sure Panini’s philosophy of “more is more” shines through radiantly.
While we’re on the topic of autographs—which genuinely never lose their charm—Panini revisits Timeless Moments Autographs. These include beautifully crafted on-card signatures paired with iconic NBA moments. And because the world could always use a little more excitement, dual-signed Timeless Moments make their return. After all, two signatures deliver double the delight.
Panini is not one to rest on its laurels. The 2024-25 One and One Basketball introduces fresh autograph concepts to tantalize collectors:
– One of a Kind
– One Man Show
– One and One Stats Autographs
– One and One Jersey Number Autographs
– One and One Draft Pick Autographs
– One and One Championship Signatures
– One and One Rookie Season Signatures
– ISO
– The One and Only Autographs
See the recurring theme here? Indeed, Panini has orchestrated an autograph symphony with singular flair.
For those collectors with a penchant for the tactile thrill of memorabilia, rest assured that Panini’s offering does not disappoint. New additions to their memorabilia lineup include Fractal Patch Autographs, Lone Star Autographs, Rookie Jumbo Memorabilia, Jumbo Memorabilia, and the elusive Logoman cards. When it comes to memorabilia, Panini believes in swinging for the fences—or rather, dunks.

In crafting this collection, Panini has somehow packed a year’s worth of anticipation into a few moments of pure card-collecting ecstasy. With one autographed card and a tantalizing second card offering, every box becomes a mini high-stakes adventure. So gear up, collectors, and prepare for a hobby sprint as gripping as the slam dunks seen courtside.
