Random Wax: 2017-2018 Hoops Basketball

With the NBA playoffs in full swing I'm always up for more basketball cards.  This pack of 2017-2018 Hoops was pretty lonely from sitting on the peg for quite a while so I grabbed it.  It didn't disappoint.  The base cards were devoid of star power but the inserts and parallels more than made up for it.  The biggy is a the Great Significance autograph card of Luke Kennard.  Having a decent rookie year (7.6 PPG) he obviously doesn't match up with the huge rookie class from this season but this is still a good pull.  I'm now 2 for 2 with these packs as I also nabbed an auto from one of these packs in January.  What are the odds?  I also pulled an Orange Explosion Klay Thompson (#/75).  To top it off I pulled a LeBron Zero Gravity card.  So while the base cards were disappointing at best this pack really produced, was a great surprise and very fun.  

BREAKDOWN:

    1. No denying that. I'm afraid to pick up another one. I don't want to break my streak.

    1. You aren't kidding. It's nice when you get these pulls. Way too many times when you look at the cards you get and just shrug your shoulders. This was fun.

  3. That Klay is awesome. I have not seen any of the orange in hand this year, but I have a teal and it's awesome.
