2020-21 Panini Obsidian Keeps It Electric :
![](http://www.basket-cards.com/images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif)
2020-21 Panini Obsidian goes with its
familiar dark take on opti-chrome.
With just one pack and seven cards per box,
it’s a faster break than Prizm and Donruss Optic.
It also has a higher concentration of autographs
with a pair of signatures in each hobby box.
The base set uses chrome stock.
But instead of the silver backdrop found
in other brands, it’s dark.
This comes into play with the parallels as well.
Electric Etch cards use outlines
to showcase contrasting rainbows.
Instead of thick borders and solid backgrounds,
it makes for a different kind of pop.
Headlining the hits are a pair of autographed
memorabilia sets involving first-year players,
Rookie Jersey Autographs
and dual-swatch Rookie Jersey Ink.
Electric Etch parallels for these include Purple,
Orange, Green, Yellow, Red, and one-of-one White Mojo.
Matrix Material Autographs
feature veteran talent.
Other autograph themes on the
2020-21 Obsidian checklist include :
Aurora Autographs Galaxy Autographs,
Lightning Strike Signatures, Volcanic Signatures
and Onyx Autographs.
Die-cut designs have been another
distinct Obsidian feature.
To that end, there’s Pitch Black,
Vitreous and Supernova.
Eclipse makes its debut.
These use a horizontal layout
and lots of lines to showcase the colorful etching.
Panini America officials recently sent out preliminary
Product Information Solicitations
for several exciting new products coming soon
to a hobby shop or online retailer near you.
Today, we’re sharing that same information
with you here on The Knight’s Lance, this time
featuring the Optichrome-enhanced Obsidian Basketball.

Dark Opti-Chrome Returns with the Third Season of Panini Obsidian :
![](http://www.basket-cards.com/images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif)
Lauded for it’s vivid and textured designs, this years
2020-21 Panini Obsidian release certainly delivers.
A faster break than the Prizm and Donruss Optic series,
Panini Obsidian is just one pack and seven cards per box,
but with a higher assemblage of autographs
a pair of signatures in each hobby box.
Top NBA rookies are again the feature of this release,
but there’s more in store than just first-year talent.
The base set, while utilising chrome stock, does so
with a rather dark backdrop differentiating the cards
from other brands that instead opt to use silver.
The base cards as well as the parallels
and inserts are really eye-catching.
Take the Electric Etch, with
cards that design with outlines
and contrasting rainbows of color versus the standard
solid backgrounds and thick borders.
With two inserts or parallel cards
per box amongst the base cards.
The hits to chase are a pair of autographed
memorabilia sets showcasing first-year players
(Rookie Jersey Autographs and dual-swatch Rookie Jersey Ink).
Parallels for these are the Electric Etch in Purple,
Orange, Green, Yellow, Red, and 1/1 White Mojo.
Veteran ink (Aurora and Matrix Material) debuts
and an array of other NBA talent joins the ranks
within the Galaxy Autographs, Lighting Strike Signatures,
Onyx Autographs, and Volcanic Signatures.
Find the new horizontally cut cards with incredibly
colorful etching in the Eclipse that debuts this year too.
Die-cut Pitch Black and Vitreous cards will join
the inserts for a diverse set of cards to collect.
With last years release completely sold out, fans will want
to keep an eye out on pre-sales
in the coming weeks to ensure they get
their hands on these small but mighty boxes.
