2020-21 Panini Contenders Optic Details :
https://www.beckett.com/news/2020-21-pa ... all-cards/Like past years, 2020-21 Panini Contenders Optic
takes the season’s main Contenders release
and gives it a chromium makeover.
So it’s still rooted in the autograph chase but
there’s additional colors to go along with it.
Panini Contenders Optic does take a more premium
approach with its configuration as well.
Hobby boxes have a single pack of six cards.
Of those, one’s an autograph, two
are inserts and two are parallels.
That leaves space for a single regular base card.
2020-21 Panini Contenders Optic Checklist Overview
The main base set falls under the Season
Ticket banner, spotlighting NBA veterans.
The general layout and design are the same
as 2020-21 Panini Contenders but the change
in stock makes for a very different feel.

or Topps and Topps Chrome.
Parallels take on a variety of colors including :
Silver, Red, Blue (/99), Orange (/49),
Green Pulsar (/25), Gold (/10)
and Gold Vinyl (1/1).

Besides the usual mix of parallels,
there are also variations with different photos.
Select stars have Veteran Ticket Autograph inserts.
1983 Tribute Autographs find their inspiration
from the nearly 40-year-old baseball design,
which has been tweaked
to make it more appropriate for basketball.
