Random Wax: 2018-2019 Hoops Basketball

Grabbed another pack of the 2018-2019 Hoops basketball.  Definitely not a star laden pack.  DeMar DeRozan is a favorite of mine so this Get Out of the Way insert was a nice pickup.  After that about all I had to admire were the nice looking cards and photos.
 I like that retro uni Lance Stephenson is wearing.  I don't remember ever seeing it before to be honest and there is a possibility it is one of the other special unis teams wear throughout the year.  Markelle Fultz is struggling to find anything resembling a shot and it looks as though injuries were the root cause.  Nice card of Trey Lyles skying for what I am assuming is a dunk.
Shaq is the other highlight of this pack though I think I pulled him in a previous pack.  I wish there were more than one retired great in each pack.  Not a lot to say about the rest of these cards.  Again this was not a sexy pack.  I've done better and hopefully my next pack will get me back on track.

BREAKDOWN:
30 – Total Cards
4 – RC
1 – Teal Explosion
1 – Faces of the Future
1 – Get Out of the Way
1 – Retired Great
1 – Class of 2018

  1. That is the Pacers' City uniform, brand new last year. I really like it, not a surprise as it's a tribute to the Speedway.

    1. Thanks for letting me know. I do like it. Been more than a few cool alternate unis around the league.

  3. I like those teal explosion cards. I have a color matching one on my watch list. The Trey Lyles is neat, too.

    1. They definitely have some nice inserts and parallels. And such a good photo of Lyles flying through the air. They definitely need more of those.

  4. The photo on that Trey Lyles card is really great, you don't see too many like that anymore.
