For those who thrive on the excitement of a quick gamble and who find a marathon a bore, the 2024-25 Panini One and One Basketball release promises an adrenaline rush faster than you can say “slam dunk.” Known for its reputation of distilling the quintessence of basketball card collecting down to a captivatingly brisk experience, the latest iteration from Panini does not fail in delivering maximum thrill in minimal time.
Imagine the suspense: you open a box with only two cards inside. That’s right, just two! It’s the kind of high-stakes game that might see you rich in rarities or pining for a different stroke of luck. But each card is safely nestled in a sleek one-touch case, ensuring your prized pull stays pristine even if it makes you leap with joy. No more moments of panic involving accidental damage—at least not from a stray sneeze.
The set is an exercise in curation, featuring a dazzling array of NBA stars, lore-lauded legends, and rookies whose names you might need to remember for tomorrow’s hot take. Each base card is numbered out of 99 because Panini knows collectors live for that touch of exclusivity. As if everything were not already colorful enough, meet the newcomer to this audacious palette: Orange parallels (/49). But that’s just the beginning. Panini’s spectrum shines to include Blue (/35), Purple (/25), Red (/15), Gold (/10), Green (/5), and the staggering allure of the Black one-of-one.
Now, let’s talk about a fan favorite—Downtown inserts. They’re back, and this time, they’re not alone. Enter the Downtown All Star, a new spin on a beloved classic that essentially asks, “Why settle for just being Downtown when you can be All Star Downtown?” It’s this kind of unexpected twist that keeps collectors guessing and the excitement unchecked.
But Panini didn’t stop there. New inserts such as the otherworldly Fourth Dimension, indestructible metal-printed Permit to Dominate, a taste of Manga, the vibrant Prizmania, and the vivid Black Color Blast broaden the narrative, proving that Panini is confidently embracing an ethos of more is more—with undeniable style.
Autograph aficionados rejoice! The Timeless Moments Autographs make a celebrated return, offering collectors not only the thrill of an on-card signature but also a piece of NBA history frozen in time. If one isn’t quite enough to fill your autograph appetite, Panini brings back dual-signed Timeless Moments, which double the nostalgia and charm.
Still, there’s more to explore with new autograph concepts that Panini promises will keep your interest pique:
– One of a Kind
– One Man Show
– One and One Stats Autographs

New additions include Fractal Patch Autographs, Lone Star Autographs, the ever-coveted Rookie Jumbo Memorabilia, Jumbo Memorabilia, and the elusive Logoman cards. In world memorabilia, it’s always advisable to go big rather than go home empty-handed.
