Each year one of the most highly collected and sought after basketball rookie autographed cards are the Panini Next Day Autographs. When these cards first released, Panini had been giving each card serial numbers and limiting production to around 100 copies. Over the past few years, Panini had stopped applying serial numbers and left the production a mystery to everyone. There had been a number of claims of counterfeit versions of some of the more popular rookies being made with forged autographs.

In order to circumvent that, it appears that Panini has decided to stamp each Next Day card this year with a Next Day Autograph logo. Great idea in concept, except when executed like this:

For those of you unfamiliar with the Next Day Autographs from Panini and some of the coin that they bring in, here are is a small glimpse into their lure and value for collectors.

• 2019-20 Zion Williamson sold for $2700
• 2019-20 Ja Morant sold for $850
• 2017-18 De'Aaron Fox sold for $500
• 2018-19 Trae Young sold for $600
• 2018-19 Luka Donic sold for $3000
• 2013-14 Giannis Antetokounmpo sold for $3400

These are just a few of the examples of recent sales from the last 90 days. Some superstars like Steph Curry, John Wall and James Harden also have Next Day Autos that regularly sell for hundreds and thousands of dollars.

While having the embossed stamp on each card can help thwart some potential issues with creating counterfeit cards, when done poorly, it can also dramatically decrease the value and appeal of a card. I am sure that this is not something that Panini takes into considering during the production of a product, however, with all of their recent mishaps and issues with quality control and over production, items like this should be on their short-list of things to avoid in the future.

One of the most sought-after rookie cards each year is the National Treasures Rookie Patch Auto. This year, Panini released two special versions numbered to 20 and 3 that will be exclusively available in their First of the Line boxes of 2018-19 National Treasures basketball. We will be cataloging each of the special edition Rookie Patch Auto’s that pop-up online. If you happen to find one that we have not captured, please send us a tweet along with a link.

We live in a very digital age, with so much of our lives details and information now stored online. The team at SportsCardsList.com have set out to add another part of your life online: Your Sports Card Collection.

SportsCardsList.com has made it easy for collectors to create a FREE account and create lists of information about their collections. I have seen a number of lists around collectors personal collections, sets they are trying to finish and just general trade/wants.

I have the site so easy to use that after about 30 minutes I had a majority of my sets added to the site and shared out to other sites, so others could see what cards I was missing or needed. SportsCardsList.com features a very robust search engine designed around either specific players or sets – so no matter what your collecting focus is, you are able to fine tune your search results for to add cards or sets to your lists with ease.

From talking to the creators of SportsCardsList.com, they have future plans to add a trading mechanism to the site so users are able to contact and communicate with other collectors who may have a card they need.

Great work on the site, and I can see a lot of big things on the horizon for SportsCardsList.com. Be sure to tell them that Dailywax.com sent you!
