The briefcase is back on campus. 2022 Panini Flawless Collegiate Basketball rounds out the card maker’s super premium collegiate hoops products for another year. Like all Flawless releases, there’s a major emphasis on low-numbered autographs. Other brand cornerstones like gem cards and memorabilia are also present on the checklist.
Patch autographs come in multiple forms. For starters, there are the main RPAs covering key members of the season’s draft class like Paolo Banchero and Keegan Murray.
Star Swatch Signatures, a staple in many Flawless sets across several products, make an appearance here as well.
More first-year ink is available in Rookie Autographs.
It’s not just fresh faces in 2022 Flawless Collegiate Basketball. Current stars and retired legends also have autographs.
Flawless wouldn’t be Flawless without its gem cards that come with diamonds embedded in them. These are featured in the base set as well as on select autographs.
There are also scarce inserts with multiple gems done with a team logo theme.
2022 Flawless Collegiate Basketball was made available on the Panini website on February 27 using the company’s dutch auction format where the price would start out at one point and drop at regular intervals until it sold out.
