Random Wax: 2016-2017 Panini Threads Basketball

2016-2017 Threads Basketball:  This is another reduced price pack of these cards.  The Greek Freak highlights my pull.  I feel I'm the only person who still calls him that.  The guy is a beast on the court though.  
More star power in this pack.
Not the most exciting pack I've ever busted but for a reduced price I'm not complaining.  
The Front Row Seat and Board of Directors cards are both nice inserts. The latter provided me a nice retired great.  These packs are random finds and I may look for different packs in the future but still a fun bust.  These wood rookie cards (below) are a favorite of mine as well.  They are very thick and just kinda cool.
BREAKDOWN:
15– Total Cards
3 – RC
1 – Wood Rookie
1 - Retired Great
1 – Front-Row Seat
1 – Board of Directors

  1. Has everyone moved away from the "Greek Freak" nickname? Now that you mentioned it I do hear a lot more "Yah-nis" that I used to. Also the Wood rookies are really neat.

    1. Those wood rookies are cool. Don't think I've ever hit on a big name but still fun.

  2. There sure is a lot of white on these cards! That Karl Malone looks pretty cool though, seems to have scanned pretty well too.

    1. It really is a good looking card and I was very happy with the scan. And you are right about the white.

  3. Didn’t know about the wooden cards...I’m a sucker for cards made of something other than cardboard. May I ask where you found rid this reduced price pack?

    1. Wal-Mart. My Wal-Mart doesn't really carry the reduced price packs and blasters but there are a few others around me that do so I like hitting them up for some variety.

  4. It's been so long since I've actually followed basketball... I just realized something. More than half of the guys in this post are wearing jerseys I don't even recognize.

    1. That's funny. I believe you though. There are very few NBA teams who stick to a classic uni. The majority change every few years it seems. Kind of a shame.
