Frequently asked
What's the main draw of 2024-25 Obsidian?
The product is built around two autographs per hobby box and the Electric Etch Flood parallels, which come in bright colors numbered down to /1. The chromium stock and etching give it a premium feel that collectors chase year after year.
How many autographs are in a hobby box?
A standard hobby box averages 2 autographs and 1 memorabilia card. The international version has 1 auto or memorabilia per box on average, making it a cheaper entry point.
What are the key rookie autograph sets?
Rookie Jersey Autographs and Rookie Jersey Ink are the main returning rookie auto sets. New for 2024-25 is Scorched Signatures, which features a flame design. All come in multiple parallels, including rare low-numbered and 1/1 versions.
What makes the Flood parallels so popular?
Flood parallels are numbered from /125 down to /1, with multiple color tiers (Orange, Purple, Blue, Green, Gold, etc.). The rarest versions like /1 Ashen Flood and /1 Vibrant Mojo Flood are extremely scarce and drive the secondary market.
Which inserts are the hardest to pull?
Volcanix, Black Color Blast, and the new Vitreous die-cut are the toughest SSP (super short print) inserts. Returning inserts like Equinox, Orbital, Supernova, and Hotspot are more common but still sought after.
What's the difference between hobby and international boxes?
Hobby boxes have 7 cards per pack and average 2 autos plus 1 memorabilia. International boxes have 6 cards per pack and average 1 auto or memorabilia. International also features exclusive parallels and autograph sets like Trailblazer Autographs and Ignited Signatures.
Are there any new parallels or inserts this year?
Yes. New parallels include Electric Etch Pink Flood, Blue Flood, and Hot Springs. New inserts are Atomic Initials (overlaying player initials on action photos) and Vitreous (die-cut). International exclusive sets include Solar Swatches memorabilia and Dusk Memorabilia.
What veterans and stars are in the base set?
The 239-card base set includes LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Stephen Curry, Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and other NBA stars. Rookies like Victor Wembanyama, Jared McCain, and Dalton Knecht are also featured.
