Rookies rule in 2023-24 Panini Origins Basketball. The early-season release centers its checklist largely on the season’s first-year players with an emphasis on etherial designs and a steady stream of autographs.
Seven-card hobby boxes have two hits, at least one of which is an autograph. There are also H2 boxes this time around that carry more cards but not a lot of hits.
The base set charts an elegant trip into space, delivering a mix of veteran stars (no pun intended) and rookies.
Parallels come to land two per hobby box. Exclusives here include Red, Tessellated, Blue (/99), Orange (/75), Turquoise (/50), Neon Stripes (/49), Gold (/10), Green (/5) and Black (1/1). H2 boxes also deliver two parallels. Their assortment comes in Basketball, Cosmos, Maroon (/115), Pink (/60) and Neon Green (/25).
Select base cards also have variations.
Rookie Jersey Autographs rank among the standout hits in 2023-24 Origins. Swatches on these are larger than a lot of other similar releases.
Rookie Autographs and Elevation Signatures are among the other places to find ink-from first-year players. Red (/49) and Pink (/25) parallels for Elevation Signatures are only in hobby boxes. Both sets have Turquoise (/15) versions that are H2 exclusives.
For collectors seeking signatures from vets, there’s Universal Autographs.
