Foil and flash are at the heart of 2022-23 Panini Revolution Basketball. The boldly designed brand returns with its familiar mix of patterned parallels and inserts. These are remain among the primary focuses as it’s a rare hobby product that doesn’t guarantee at least one hit per box. Autographs are on the checklist and not exceptionally rare. They’re just not promised in every box.
