Personally, Preferred is my favorite product from Panini and in my humble opinion pulling a Rookie Silhouettes (Prime) should command higher price compared to NT and others. However, might be because of the initial reputation of NT when Panini took over as the sole authorized manufacturer of NBA trading cards, NT RPAs are considered as the holy grail when it comes to rookie cards.

Anyway here are the highlights of the upcoming 2015-16 Panini Preferred Basketball.

- The product’s calling-card speciality memorabilia booklets including 2015 NBA Finals and Stat Line — each featuring game-specific pieces of memorabilia, including Patch version. Look for rare 1/1 versions of the 2015 NBA Finals insert featuring the NBA Finals logo from jersey fronts; Stat Line 1/1s feature jersey tags.
- Collect the unique 300-card autographed base set composed of Silhouettes, Rookie Silhouettes, Autographs, Crown Royale and Unparalleled.
