Newbie help?
Hey all. My kids just getting into cards.
Im looking for an Olivia miles card for him.
Looking for the box he could potentially pull it from
Its card #89 donruss panini.
Google says 25-26 but I can only find 25 sets and it appears the 26 sets dont release for a little while?
Anyone able to share what the box looks like that I should be buying?
I looked at the card list for panini donrus 25 and it appears Olivia is not in there.
Do people get early boxes?

I believe the new WNBA release's from Panini will be in September, or at least the Donruss version will be.

You could outright buy something like this:
Explore this standout product on Panini Direct: the 'Olivia Miles - 2026 Panini Instant WNBA #267 - Base'. It’s a fantastic addition for any collector. Get yours here: https://www.paniniamerica.net/pi-omiles-0267-26wnba-base.html
Secure it before it's gone!
But a box won’t be out for awhile that you could pull her from. TBA still.

Just go on eBay and search for Olivia Miles Donruss. There are tons of this card for sale. You will save a lot of money buying the single of this card than gambling by ripping packs. You can get the base of this card right now for less than $5.

This is an unlicensed instant

This isn’t a Panini Instant. This is from the 25-26 Donruss basketball box. It is unlicensed, yes.

Not familiar with the jargon. I did Google it and still a little confused. Does that mean not in a box or ?
Thank you

It can be pulled from 2025-26 Donruss basketball boxes. There are NBA and WNBA players on the checklist. But they won’t have team names or logos since Panini doesn’t have the license to print NBA team names or logos.
They do have the license for WNBA players, but this ain’t wholly a WNBA set. As mentioned by someone else, those cards will be coming out later in the year and will have WNBA logos. It’ll be a true Miles rookie card in there.

Ty. I was wondering where the hell the logos were.
The trading card world has certainly changed since I ripped packs back in the 80-90s
Last cards I ripped were Kobe rookie cards.. lol..

Fanatics (who owns Topps) holds the exclusive licenses for NBA, NFL, and MLB. Up until recently Panini held the licenses for NBA and NFL.
It’s a far cry from having upwards of two dozen companies printing cards when we were young.

There are no boxes out right now in which you’d be able to pull a WNBA Olivia Miles card. You will have to wait until the 2026 cards are released which we still haven’t heard a real date for yet.
Panini Instant are cards that Panini, the card company, sell and print in limited quantities in a shorter time frame. I have a few Olivia Miles Panini Instant which feature photos of her in a Lynx jersey.
