2019-2020 Absolute Basketball: BlowoutBuzz busted some of these retail packs which are only found at Dollar Tree. Each comes with one of 25 rookie yellow inserts. I picked up five packs giving chase of a Zion and bam...there he was in the first pack. Can't beat that.
I like the design on these. Simple with a good sized team logo. I also thought many of the photos were pretty nice. As late as these came out I did think we might see players in their new unis but no dice.
The backs are only have two colors but I like the simple result.
Like any other set you'll find rookies and with a base set size of 100 you'll get plenty of stars. With a good design and plenty of star power at only a buck a pack I'm sure I'll buy more of these.

I grabbed a few of these too, and was happy to get the yellow Zion as well. I thought it was a really cool concept to have Dollar Tree exclusives.
ReplyDeleteI agree. My Dollar Tree only had stickers of late so I didn't have any expectations of finding these packs. For a buck they are fun busts.
DeleteI saw these at the Dollar Tree the other day, but decided to pass on them, as it didn't seem like a set that would probably have any retired greats in it, and that's pretty much all that I'm interested in at this point. They had a football set there too, that I might've actually bought a few packs from, but the box was empty :(
ReplyDeleteNothing worse than the one think you are interested in is gone. And while I like these, some retired greats would be that much better.
DeleteCongratulations on pulling a Zion!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Always fun pulling the guy everyone wants.
DeleteZion!! I didn't know Dollar Tree packs had inserts. Last year a Dollar Tree opened right near my office and I loaded up on football & basketball packs. Then I got a new job in an industrial area about a month later.
ReplyDeleteI only knew because I saw it on BlowoutBuzz.com. He does plenty of breaks and seems to always know this stuff.
DeletePulled a nice Ja out of one a couple of weeks ago. I was pretty happy.
