2024-25 Panini Crown Royale Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Basketball marks a milestone.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the current iteration of EuroLeague men’s basketball, this year’s Crown Royale set pays tribute to the league’s past and present.
Professional men’s basketball has existed in Europe since 1958, but the league reorganized in 2000 and rebranded as the EuroLeague. Since then, top players like Vassilis Spanoulis, Dimitris Diamantidis, Juan Carlos Navarro, Mike James, Dejan Bodiroga, Sergio Llull, Nando De Colo, Vasilije Micic, and Luka Dončić have thrilled fans, and they are all included in this year’s Crown Royale set.
Just as it did in last year’s debut edition, the 2024-25 Panini Crown Royale Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Basketball base set runs 100 cards. The die-cut cards feature a crown design at the top and elegant accents, a regal design first introduced by Pacific in baseball, football, and hockey before the current EuroLeague had even formed.
Those 100 base cards also have four parallels: Crystal Red (/49), Crystal Purple (/25), Crystal Gold (/10), and Crystal Platinum (/1).
Almost every insert card in Crown Royale is numbered.
A new 25th Anniversary insert set commemorates the history of the league, while Hand Crafted, Pillars of the Game, Sno Globe, and Test of Time return. Each card in these sets is /99 and has Red (/49), Purple (/25), Gold (/10), and Platinum (/1) parallels
The only non-numbered insert is the SSP Kaboom! inserts. New this year are 1/1 Black Kaboom! cards.
Autographs take many forms in 2024-25 Panini Crown Royale Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Basketball.
Panini has introduced one new autograph set – Treasured Autographs – and returning sets include Crown Autographs, Royal Signatures, Majestic Signatures, Regal Achievements, and Crown Jewel Signatures
Collectors can find autographed memorabilia cards in Kings Court Jersey Autographs and Silhouettes, and lucky collectors will unearth Prime (/25) or Super Prime (/1) parallels.
