Released in late October, Panini NBA Stickers returned with a souped-up version of the product both in content and price. New this year, each packet contains a trading card (along with fi ve stickers), including four diff erent types of parallels (silver, blue, gold and black) on foil cardstock. Based on the release date, this product actually contains the fi rst cards of this year’s rookie class in their pro uniforms. Presented here are the highlights from the opening of a 50 pack box – the collection is comprised of 493 stickers and 100 trading cards; individual packs retail for $1.50, a higher price tag than previous releases.
