2018-2019 NBA Champions Toronto Raptors Set: The blasters for these contain a complete 30 card set of the 2018-2019 NBA Champs Toronto Raptors. I've always been curious about these and being a Kawhi Leonard fan I grabbed this box when I did a Dave & Adams purchase recently. I think the 2017-2018 Warriors were the first team Panini did this with. Speaking of the man this photo has him with the Championship Trophy as well as the trophy he took home for being the NBA Finals MVP.
Most of the photos were taken just after the series ended though there are a few in game photos as well. While static photos aren't usually a preference seeing players with the trophy after winning the Championship is pretty cool.
The design is basic but I like it. The basketball texture look at the bottom is pretty cool.
This was a fun series. I didn't have a dog in the fight but it was hard not to root for Toronto who had never won a Championship. Aside from Kawhi Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam were huge factors in them winning a championship and really stepped up their games.
Fred VanVleet, Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka and Danny Green also were key to Toronto taking home the Gold. The backs had write-ups specific to each player and showed these were "limited" sets. How they came up with 49,286 I'll never know. These are pretty affordable and I'm really glad I picked one up. Maybe I'll track down one of the Warriors sets. I love the NBA and have no issues being excited for players I like or different teams when they win it all.
