Card Identification Forum

Hey Fellow Collectors,

I bought these treasures as blue parallels of hoops base sets, but when I got them in hands I realized that they are not Hoops cards. I have identified the left one as 2013-14 Panini Chinese as it has blue edges, although I couldn't find any marks that would prove it is actually Chinese edition, not just simply Panini International Edition.

If that's correct, the one on the right should be Chinese edition as well, however I didn't find any matching sets here on this site, neither on Beckett. Do you guys know anything about this set? Maybe any knowledge about an existing checklist somewhere?

Thanks,
Gabor
 

The one on the left is just the base Chinese version, the blue is there because they were team color coded. The other is totally new to me, but not wholly surprising, as I know there is an international edition of 2012-13 Hoops that I discovered when I got one in trade from a person in Slovenia. To learn there are other years is not a surprise.

So... finally I found the checklist of the 2014-15 international edition, and I am planning to upload it to the site soon.

However, to turn back for a moment to the 2013-14 edition (and probably to 2014-15 edition, too) I have an assumption: the Chinese and the International editions are one release (which was printed in China). What do you think, Billy?

I would agree with that. Although labeled as Chinese all of mine actually came from European collectors who got them locally. 

I uploaded the whole cheklist for the 2014-15 editon as 2014-15 Panini NBA (International), so this one is fixed now.

Regarding the 2013-14 edition, I moved my single card from Chinese to the International version. As COMC operates with International editions only and the set is most likely distributed worldwide the proper naming might be the International one. Therefore I reported the Chinese as a duplicate. I hope it won't cause any problem to your catalog system. 

I think this international release is still not complicated to figure out as the 1996-97 Fleer was.
