Frequently asked
What's the main chase in this product?
Rookie Silhouettes autographs are the headliner. They feature a large memorabilia swatch with the player's signature layered on top, and you can pull Prime (/25) and Super Prime (1/1) versions for even more premium swatches.
What rookies are in the set?
The 2022 class is well represented, including Paolo Banchero, Jabari Smith Jr., Chet Holmgren, Jaden Ivey, Keegan Murray, and many others. They appear in the base set (cards 101-140) and as autographs in Rookie Silhouettes.
How do the Crystal parallels work?
Base cards come in multiple Crystal tiers: Blue (/99), Pink (/75), Red (/49), Purple (/25), Gold (/10), and Platinum (1/1). There are also Asia-exclusive versions and FOTL (First Off the Line) variants with their own numbering.
What else hits besides autographs?
Every box includes one memorabilia card from sets like Heirs to the Throne, Knights of the Round Table, Coat of Arms, or the new Monarch Memorabilia. You also get two inserts or parallels, which could be Kaboom, Sno Globe, Hand Crafted, Rookie Royalty, Test of Time, or Pillars of the Game.
What's Kaboom and why is it so hard to pull?
Kaboom is the super short-printed insert set in Crown Royale. It's known for being one of the toughest hits to land, making it a major chase for collectors hunting the complete set.
Are there autographs of current NBA stars?
Yes. Crown Autographs include legends and veterans like Kevin Garnett, Chris Paul, and current players. Crown Jewel Signatures and Future Kings Signatures also feature established NBA names and young prospects.
What's the base set like?
The 140-card base set features the iconic crown die-cut design that's been part of Crown Royale since the 1990s. Cards 1-100 are established players and stars, while cards 101-140 are Rookie Silhouettes with the same die-cut treatment.
Is there any controversy around this product?
Yes. Last year's Crown Royale basketball faced controversy when it was revealed that Kaboom hits could be determined based on pack placement, raising questions about randomness. Collectors should be aware of this history.
