Frequently asked
What are the key rookie cards in this product?
The 2018 class is stacked. Luka Doncic, Trae Young, and Deandre Ayton are the marquee names, but Michael Porter Jr., Jaren Jackson Jr., and Marvin Bagley III also have strong collector demand. All appear in the base set (cards 56-100) and across multiple autograph subsets.
How many autographs do I get per box?
You're guaranteed 2 autographs per box. That's the main draw of Absolute Memorabilia. They're spread across sets like Draft Day Ink (rookie sigs), 10th Anniversary Autographs, Hoopla Signatures, and Tools of the Trade.
What are the base card parallels?
The 100-card uncirculated base set comes in two parallels: 10th Anniversary (/10) and Maroon (/7). Both are numbered and scarce. You get one uncirculated base card per box (either a veteran or rookie).
What's the deal with Tools of the Trade cards?
These are multi-swatch memorabilia autographs. They come in three versions: 3-swatch, 4-swatch, or 6-swatch. Each card has an autograph plus jersey, hat, or basketball pieces. They're not all hard-signed, but the relic variety makes them collectible.
Are there any non-rookie autographs?
Yes. Hoopla Signatures and 10th Anniversary Autographs feature veterans and legends. You'll find current stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, plus retired greats like Charles Barkley, David Robinson, and Kobe Bryant.
What's the Glass insert?
Glass is a 25-card set of top NBA players and rookies. It's a visual highlight set but not an autograph or memorabilia card, so it's a bonus pull rather than a guaranteed box hit.
How does this compare to 2017-18 Absolute?
Panini added more on-card autographs this year, including the new Hoopla Signatures and 10th Anniversary Auto sets. The uncirculated base cards return, and there's a new Gold parallel (/10) on the base set.
When did 2018-19 Panini Absolute Memorabilia come out?
It dropped November 30, 2018.
What's in a 2018-19 Panini Absolute Memorabilia hobby box?
