ON-CARD INCLUSIONS 
The Item: 2019-20 Panini NBA Hoops Zion Williamson & R.J. Barrett Hoops Art Signatures autograph
The Price: $2,499.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: On-card autographs and multi-player autos aren't typically the norm for lower-end releases, but this year's edition of Hoops includes a few of those in this insert set and this isn't even the biggest card in that 10-card group, either. Williamson and Barrett have standalone solo autos in this one, while Williamson ink can be found alongside Ja Morant and Kobe Bryant, too. All 10 cards include just those four players in solo and combo pairings -- that's four solo and six combo cards. They can't be super-plentiful or easy to pull, but they're just adding to the big-chase feel in this release.

ONE FOR CHARITY 
The Item: Zion Williamson & R.J. Barrett 2019-20 Panini Prizm Draft Picks College Ties Black Mosaic (1/1) (BGS 9.5/10)
The Price: $15,401 after 63 bids (eight days remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This card has taken on a life of its own on social media as it was pulled in a video and then taken to Texas for grading -- but then the story took another turn when its owner decided there needed to be a different finish to this card's story ... an auction where 100 percent of the money raised goes to charity. Listen to him make his decision public right here. The Zion prices have been crazy but this one could get even more dramatic before it ends -- it was at five-figures within the first day of its listing, despite Williamson being out (for now) with an injury.

The tip of the iceberg is here when it comes to Panini America's promo card plans for The National this year.

Its reveal began Thursday evening with a look at a 10-card set going to all VIP attendees of the show that's set to begin on July 31 in Chicago.

One of the cards was not yet revealed and will be a surprise held for closer to showtime -- update ... it's Zion Williamson.

That big name in the NBA has his first cardboard already.

No, not Commissioner Adam Silver -- though he has a few new options here -- it's No. 1 draft pick Zion Williamson, the big-scoring, shoe-splitting Duke star who was taken by the New Orleans Pelicans last night.

Panini Instant cards for a number of draft picks are available now.

A Duke star has signed with Panini America in advance of the NBA Draft.

All-American R.J. Barrett, who is projected to be among the top picks in next week's draft, has signed an exclusive card agreement revealed today. His first in-pack cards will arrive in 2019 Contenders Draft Picks and then in 2019-20 NBA Hoops in October. He will make his debut via Panini Instant after he is drafted.

“With an athlete like R.J. Barrett, we were determined to target an initial partnership with a group who recognizes how special he is,” said Robert Kinnard, Executive Director of Global Marketing for BDA Sports, in a prepared statement. “Panini is a giant in the trading card and memorabilia industry and it is satisfying to see their shared vision as evidenced by their commitment to the influence R.J.’s brand will have on the marketplace.”
