24-25 Hoops: There are so many questions around
Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers but there's no denying this man's talent.
Some big man love. Bam Adebayo and the Heat just don't seem to have it all clicking lately and they'll start the season without All-Star Tyler Hero. This design is okay and it does feel like Hoops.
Stephon Castle averaged 14 points per game his rookie season and brought home Rookie of the Year honors.
Just a bit blah.
That Hardaway Jr. is my Purple Parallel pull. Zach Edey had a solid rookie season. Bogdan Bogdanovic is on a Teal Explosion Parallel.
I'm a fan of Al Horford who is looking good on this Hoops Premium Stock card. I like Brook Lopez as well. My Hoops Tribute insert has retired great Yao Ming gracing it. NBA comes back next month and I can't wait.
BREAKDOWN:
30 – Total Cards
6 – RC
2 – Hoops Tribute
1 – Skyview
1 – Arriving Now
1 – Premium Stock
1 – Purple Parallel
1 – Rookie Greetings
1 – Teal Explosion Parallel
Nice Yao!
ReplyDeleteI like that photo angle.
DeleteYeah. those Greetings cards would be a lot better with a background of a city landmark or the skyline.
ReplyDeleteEmbid wins it for now. But if he has another injury-plagued season, might give it to Yao.
Embiid really does need to stay healthy. He's become "that guy".
DeleteNice Yao Ming card but I also like the Zack Edy is great too. I will have to look for some Edy cards for my "giants" collection which is for players 7 feet tall or bigger.
ReplyDeleteNice collection.
DeleteI read that the new Topps basketball set is coming out by the end of October. Really hoping for a return to full stats on the back!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what they have for us. Images are out there. Not a huge fan but we'll see in hand what they do for me. 23 Oct is the projected date.
