Panini Contenders Optic 2018 Basketball — Checklist & Parallels

The full 2018 Basketball Panini Contenders Optic checklist — 500 cards with 7 base parallels and 21 insert sets — plus the eBay item specifics that matter and how to list them fast.

Panini Contenders Optic 2018 Basketball parallels

Parallels are the colored and serial-numbered versions of each base card. This checklist includes:

• Silver
• Red
• Blue /99
• Orange /49
• Gold /10
• Gold Vinyl /1
• Printing Plate /1

When you list, put the exact parallel name in both the title and the Parallel/Variety item specific — a "Silver" listed as just a base card gets buried under cheaper copies.
