Random Wax: 2021-2022 Hoops Winter Holiday Blaster

21-22 Winter Hoops:  This is a Hoops Winter Holiday blaster I picked up in March of 2022.  Starting it off with Karl-Anthony Towns whose stats are a bit down, but he and the T-Wolves have embraced defense and doing well.   
While I like the 21-22 Hoops design overall, I'm not a big fan of their Winter design.  The snowflakes are hard to make out on some cards and I don't get a holiday/winter feel at all.  Bah humbug!
One of the seemingly two thousand Cade Cunningham cards I feel I've pulled.  Cunningham is the big name here, but Evan Mobley is a really good big man for the Cavaliers.
Love those Slam inserts.  Great photos on all three of these cards.
I really enjoy Light Camera Actions inserts.  These horizontal photos are a nice change from the vertical look on almost all basketball cards.  
Some big man love.
Tyrese Haliburton has become a force with the Pacers after being traded to Indiana.
Khris Middleton is the only one of these three still on the same team.  James Harden is on his second team since leaving Brooklyn.
These are fun.  Assuming the print run on these is shorter than the standard hoops run.

  2. They should have done more to the card to make it Christmassy. And it's Panini, where are the parallels? Replace the ball with gift boxes! Thanks for showing off the cards!
