The Status basketball brand isn't necessarily my thing but it won't stop me from grabbing some to get eyes on. This is the 2018-2019 Status basketball. For what it is I like it. This card is nice but I think the road or alternate unis with the color would work better on these. There is already a ton of white and pastels here.
I pulled a Moritz Wagner rookie! My first card of the former Michigan Wolverines standout. The backs aren't bad but the colors don't thrill me. The Mo Bamba Rookie Credentials is a pretty cool card.
Decent pull if not spectacular. Kawhi Leonard is one of the greats in the league right now and a PC guy for me. CJ McCollum will play a big part for my Blazers run in the playoffs. That Clint Capella is an aqua parallel. I like it as it takes that bright white background out of play.
Jurkic and Green will also be front an center in these playoffs as their teams are #2 and #1 seeds in the Western Conference respectively. There should be some really good series this year. I can't see me picking more of these but they are decent cards this year. But never say never...

I am not a fan of the background, it's very generic looking, it also looks like about a hundred other Panini basketball sets.
ReplyDeleteI get it. Seems like an excuse to use pastels wholesale.
DeleteLast year’s set reminded me mode of the early 90’s Skybox sets, but I like this year’s effort as well. I’ve gone back and forth buying rack packs at Walmart and Target to try the various store exclusive parallels.
ReplyDeleteSkybox is a perfect comparison. I do wish the background wasn't so bright but I still get it. I liked Skybox back in the day. I've opened a ton of that wax.
DeleteThe design is too generic for me
ReplyDeleteThese definitely didn't take a lot of time to design. Lol
