Random Wax: 2017-2018 Contenders Basketball

17-18 Contenders:  This is the second time I've pulled this Kobe Bryant die-cut card.  The last time was six years ago.  The link to the post is here.  What are the odds?  I threw this one up on eBay and it sold quickly for $43.  There's even more to this story which I'll detail below.
I like this set, and I think I grabbed it as part of a bigger BlowoutCards.com order.  The funny part is I missed the pack when I opened the box and completely whiffed on the fact I'd ordered it.  It wasn't until a month later that I found it while breaking down the box.  When is Porzingas coming back?  My fantasy team really needs the help.
I really like the Most Valuable Contenders inserts and this one brought backs lots of memories when the Warriors were on that run with KD.  I've always had pretty good luck with packs or blasters from this set.  You can see all my posts from this set here (same as the first link in this post).
For an eight-card pack, this was a big win.  Great pull obviously.  And this Steph Curry card?  The second I've pulled.  I pulled one from a fat pack in 2024. Lots of fun here with the story and the cards.

BREAKDOWN:
8 – Total Cards
1 – Superstar Die-Cut
1 – Most Valuable Contenders

  1. Congratulations on pulling that Kobe... and getting a decent amount of cash for it.

    1. Hard to go against Steph but it's not often I pull a Kobe.
