I already picked up a pack of these in March and couldn't resist picking up a blaster box of 2017-2018 Contenders Basketball. I pulled an auto in the Contenders Draft Picks brand last fall. No auto this time but I did grab a Rookie Ticket Dual Swatch Markelle Fultz/Donovan Mitchell card. Great card. It looks pretty cool and Mitchell is a about as hot as any rookie out there right now. I probably won't hang on to the card long as it'll probably end up on eBay or as trade bait but it is super nice pull.
Grabbing a Blazer is always a win as is personal favorite Kawhi Leonard on this Winning Ticket insert. The Die Cut Kobe isn't bad. I like the colors and the card looks cool even if die cuts aren't a favorite of mine.
A pretty decent pull. I thought there were plenty of stars and the inserts were pluses for me.
I do wish there were more retired greats, maybe as base cards, but I'll always take the ones I do get and be very happy. And how can you not like Grant Hill?
Overall a really fun box. I'll always grab more of these when I can. You don't get a ton of cards but I do like the base cards and inserts. With a guarantee of an auto or relic the price tag on these blasters is a bit more palatable.
