2009/10 Panini Absolute Memorabilia Exclusive Kobe Bryant Autograph Cards. Basketball Collectors demanded more non-sticker Kobe Bryant autograph cards and Panini listened. All Kobe Bryant cards will be on-card autographs.
When the NBA and Panini agreed to exclusive NBA card rights in 2009 they pledged to get kids more involved with the hobby. While this is a worthy effort, many of Panini’s early basketball products have been in the $60 – $100 price range … which doesn’t lead for many hits per box. 09/10 Panini Absolute Memorabilia will have a MSRP of $40.00 Per Pack and is more for the big spender. Single card collectors will finally have a set with Jersey/Autograph Rookie Cards of Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings. With Non-Autograph 2009/10 UD Exquisite Rookies selling for more than Autograph Copies of 09/10 Panini Product … possibly Absolute Memorabilia will rise to the top of collectors wish-lists.
The biggest hits on eBay will be Kobe Bryant On-Card Autographs, Tyreke Evans RPM Rookies, Prime Jersey Pieces and #1/1 NBA Logoman Rookie Premiere Autographs.

2009/10 Panini Absolute Memorabilia Basketball – Hoopla Spectrum Checklist
Hoopla has a solid checklist of 20 NBA stars. The only question mark for us is #20 Chris Andersen … his name amongst 19 of the best players in the NBA is a little odd. However, the rest of the checklist is great with LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and many other NBA stars. The Prime Material Auto Cards should be a huge hit with collectors.

2009/10 Panini Absolute Memorabilia Basketball – Team Tandems Jersey Checklist
Dual Jersey Cards – No Serial # information provided by Panini, so we expect these to be un-numbered. Overall, somewhat of a weak checklist with the best card possibly being #7 Brook Lopez and Devin Harris.
