Step into the darkness and embrace the allure of the 2024-25 Panini Obsidian Basketball cards. With a legendary reputation for daring designs and radiant parallels, Obsidian has once again claimed its crown as the coolest blacked-out product on the market. This year’s edition brings the same sleek darkness we adore, mixed with splashes of color and chaotic innovation, propelling these glossy treasures straight from the far reaches of another universe.
True to tradition, this year’s Obsidian Basketball sticks with its hardcore, no-nonsense approach—one pack, seven cards, and a lifetime of possibilities. It’s a swift and thrilling experience that guarantees you three hits per hobby box, usually delivered in the form of two autographs and one memorabilia card. To add a pop of energy and unpredictability, you’ll also find three inserts or parallels waiting to surprise you, topped off with one base card to ground the whole cosmic spectacle.
Designed to dazzle, Obsidian cards are crafted to capture attention, with a texture and weight that set them apart from anything else on the court. These cards glow under the right lighting while their parallels explode with neon zest. The new collection rolls out fresh flood parallels, each with its unique hue and challenge:
– Pink Flood parallels, limited to 49
– Blue Flood parallels, a rare find at 30
– Hot Springs parallels, sizzling at a cool 15
– Caldera parallels, shrouded in mystery with an unrevealed numbering, adding an enigmatic puzzle for collectors to solve
Long-standing fans of the series will be thrilled to encounter the return of Electric Etch parallels, spanning from the more commonly seen mid-numbered color bursts to the ultra-scarce one-of-a-kinds that every collector dreams of snatching.
In the autograph realm, Obsidian maintains a comforting consistency with tried-and-true themes that roll back every year like clockwork—because why fix what isn’t broken? This season’s checklist includes cherished favorites like Rookie Jersey Autographs and Magmatic Signatures, bubbling in with Matrix Material Autographs and Volcanic Signatures. The excitement curls upward with Rookie Eruption Autos and the galactic allure of Galaxy Ink.
Adding a literal spark to the lineup, there’s an incendiary new entry: Scorched Signatures. These cards will leave you in awe with their fiery designs, igniting the collection with a delicious visual blaze that beckons fellow collectors to fan the flames.
When it comes to memorabilia cards, prepare for a crisp return of the Cutting Edge series. As the name suggests, these cards don’t mess around. Think sharp, clean designs with sturdy swatches, embodying a seamless blend of style and substance. These aren’t just leftover jersey cards. They’re bold statements, often associated with marquee players or thrilling rookies earning their stripes on the hardwood.
On the insert front, Obsidian continues its tradition of serving up sci-fi styled spectacle. These inserts aren’t just fillers—they belong in a gallery! Returning favorites like Supernova, Orbital, and Hotspot lend their cosmic flair, while Equinox returns to balance the celestial harmony.
While our spaceship sails the Obsidian universe, it bumps into a new insert series on the radar: Atomic Initials. This fresh collection stars players’ initials layered over dynamic action shots, providing a modern aesthetic that meshes perfectly with the product’s futuristic vibe.
True treasure hunters will find solace in knowing Obsidian remains committed to the chase. Imaginations will ignite with the tantalizing rarity of the returning SSPs — Volcanix and the ever-desired Black Color Blast.
