Contenders Optic Hobby 2023 / 2024

Product Description:
The Panini Contenders Optic Hobby Box 2023/2024 combines the classic Contenders Ticket design with the popular Opti-Chrome technology. This results in a product that appeals to both autograph collectors and fans of shiny cards.

The focus is on the iconic Rookie Season Ticket Autographs, often as on-card versions, which are among the most important rookie autos in the NBA hobby. The set is complemented by numerous colorful and numbered parallels as well as modern insert series.

Compared to the regular Contenders (paper), Optic is significantly higher quality in production but contains fewer cards and focuses more on quality over quantity.
