Base cards are becoming less and less of a find in high-end brands but Panini America has helped keep them on the minds of basketball collectors this year with photo variations in 2015-16 Panini Gold Standard.
And the company has disclosed which variations are the toughest pulls from the high-end product.
Many players have short-printed variations, but the following eight players’ cards should be considered extra scarce, according to the company:
48 Kevin Garnett, USA Basketball
