Is it worth buying?

Pros

• Two guaranteed hits (auto and/or memorabilia).
• Beautiful artwork and one of Panini's most distinctive basketball products.
• Strong on-card rookie autograph content.
• Excellent SSP insert lineup.

Cons

• Only 10 cards in the box.
• Relic cards can replace an autograph, so you may receive one auto and one memorabilia card instead of two autos.
• Rookie Tier I cards are common; the higher-tier rookies and SSPs are much tougher pulls.

For collectors who value artistic designs and rookie autographs over sheer card volume, Court Kings is often considered one of the most enjoyable basketball hobby products to open.
