2026 Score-a-Treat Multi-Sport (20 Packs)

2026 Score-a-Treat:   Ray Lewis is about as scary as any player out there.  He was a 7X 1st Team All-Pro.  For reference, the all-time leaders, Jerry Rice and Otto Graham, had 10X 1st Team All-Pro selections and Tom Brady, for all his greatness, was only selected 3X.

Not having a license in any of the major sports didn't scare Panini off from releasing a set specific to the Halloween season.  In this set you'll see baseball, basketball, boxing and football cards.  Here we have a Holo Bones Parallel #/149, Pumpkins Parallel, and Holo Webs Parallel.

Plenty of retired greats in this set and we get Calvin Johnson on a Slime Parallel.  I'm not usually a fan of sets with no team logos but I picked these up since they were new, they are cheap, and they are Halloween themed.  That Dan Fouts card is a base card with white borders.  He led the league in passing yards 4 straight seasons and passing yards per game for 6 seasons.

NIL players are a big part of the set including 19 of the 60 cads from these packs.  We also see RC cards.  Plenty of youngsters across the sports.

Monster Bash cards are one of the subsets.  Not sure how much I feel "monster bash" with this design.  I think they could have hammered that home better.

These cards are sold in a "bundle" like Panini's previous Halloween themed sets.  There are 40 packs per bundle with 3 cards in each set.

The design overall is fine.  I wish every card had a Halloween type of border but still these are okay.  I didn't see these at Wal-Mart so I did grab two bundles on eBay.  I'll share these in the upcoming years in 20-pack increments.

Haunted House is the other subset and I like these.  We get a haunted house in the background which gives us a good visual.  These are fun cards for the price and theme, and perfect for October.

Random Wax: 2023-2024 Haunted Hoops - 5 Packs

23-24 Haunted Hoops:   Anthony Edwards is only 25 and already a 2X All-NBA selectee.  He's averaging 24/5/4 on 36% long range shooting in his 6-season career.  I can't wait to see what the T-Wolves look like with newest addition LaMelo Ball.

Chris Paul retired after last season.  His 21-season Hall of Fame career saw him be a 11X All-NBA selection leading the league in assists 5X and steals 6X.  He was also a 9X All-Defensive Team member.  These cards are sold in "bundles" which have 20 packs with 3 cards per pack.

Jeremy Sochan saw his time on the court dwindle in San Antonio after being an All-Rookie selection and was traded to the New York mid-season.  While he only averaged 2 points a game for the Knicks, he did take home a championship ring.  We see Slime and Orange parallels here.  Slime is my favorite.  Orange is a bit dull. 

Trae Young will play his first full season with the Washington Wizards who also acquired Anthony Davis and selected AJ Dybantsa with the #1 pick in the NBA draft.  These are always fun cards and perfect for the season.

2025 Score-a-Treat Football (20 Packs)

2025 Score-a-Treat:  Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers have struggled this season and overall haven't quite been up to expectations in recent years.  He's only 28 and he and the Pack can still turn thing around.

This is another good Halloween inspired design.  Marlon Humphrey is a 2X 1st Team All-Pro and 4X Pro Bowl selection in his 10-year career with the Ravens.

Jeanty and Judkins are two of the good young running backs in the league.

I like the combination of spooky season and the NFL.  Good job Panini.

The backs are okay, but we don't see the same Halloween esque elements they added to the back of Panini's 2024 Score-a-Treat offering.  A step back in my opinion.  We also had Bats Parallels in that set.

I'd love to see Topps do something similar now that they have the NFL license.  Maybe even an insert set or some type of parallel would be nice.  These cards were sold in "bundles" which had 40 packs of 3 cards each.

And our retired greats.  Defensive back and Hall of Famer Ken Houston had 49 career interceptions while being named a 1st Team All-Pro 2X.  He played 6 of his 14 seasons with the Houston Oilers.

BREAKDOWN:
60 – Total Cards
20 - RC
6 – Retired Greats

Random Wax: 2024 Score-a-Treat Football (20 Packs)

2024 Score-a-Treat:  Patrick Mahomes really is scary.  The 3X Super Bowl Champion and 2X MVP is only 31 which is young in NFL quarterback years.  It's been nice to see him bounce back this season after being injured last season.

Some defensive love with some of the best in the game today.  These cards are lots of fun.  I enjoy spooky season and the NFL so this is the best of both worlds.  Good design.

Bo Nix has done really well as the starting QB in Denver and much more is expected from that young man.  Brian Thomas had a great rookie year but hasn't been able to recreate that magic since then.  With a name like Kool-Aid I had high hopes for the corner in New Orleans but it doesn't seem like it is to be.

And we get retired greats like we do in the Score base set.  Jeff Saturday was a 2X 1st Team All-Pro, 6X Pro Bowl selection and won a Super Bowl with the Colts.

The backs are just as fun.  Plenty of color and Halloween graphics to keep up the spooky vibes.  These cards came in "bundles" which had 40 packs with 3 cards per pack.

More greats of the game from today and years past.  Roger Staubach didn't start his career until after serving in the Navy and wasn't a full-time starter until age 29.  He is 6th all-time in starting quarterback winning percentage and led the league in passer rating 4X in his career while winning 2X Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.

BREAKDOWN:
60 – Total Cards
29 – Bat Parallel
20 – RC (Rising Stars)
8 – Retired Greats

Random Wax: 2023-2024 Haunted Hoops Bundle

23-24 Haunted Hoops:  Welcome to spooky season!  We'll kick it off with Zion who's an enigma in the NBA.  No denying that talent but he's got to stay on the court.  He's battled a myriad of injuries and readiness issues throughout his career so it's tough to know exactly how good he is.  Pelicans fans are really hoping for a season not doomed by injuries which have hit them hard lately.

These Haunted Hoops bundles contain 20 packs of 3 cards each.  There's a total of 300 cards in this set with a few parallels including this Orange Parallel.  Nice pull including Paul George and Joel Embiid who are now teammates in Philly.  But can they stay healthy - that is the big question.

Youngsters show up on base RC cards as well as Rising Star options.  That Leaky Black is a Slime Parallel which I like.

We get a little Halloween themed goodness on the backs.  I like it though I'd been fine with more too.

Kevin Looney on a Holo Webs Parallel.  I really like that Tyrese Haliburton photo and card.  Not sure why but it looks good.

Lots of slime...  Anfernee Simons is now a Celtic thanks to the trade that sent Jrue Holiday to Portland.  As a Trail Blazer fan I'm confused.  Someone in Portland's backcourt was likely to be traded but getting Holiday, 35 this season and making $32M, $34M and $37M in the upcoming seasons, makes no sense to me.

I love Domantis Sabonis and he led the league in total rebounds per game for the third season in a row.  Overall, he had averaged 19.1 ppg, 13.9 rpg, and 6 apg.  I'll pick up some of the this year's Haunted Hoops for sure.  Great cards and pull and a great way to start spooky season.

Random Wax: 2023-2024 Haunted Hoops Bundle

 23-24 Haunted Hoops: These are just fun, and we'll kick it off with Paolo Banchero.  Sounds like the Magic will acquire Desmond Bane which will help their offense and maybe help them in the Eastern Conference title conversation.  Banchero did his part this season averaging 25 PPG, 7 RPG, and 4 APG.

Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs failed to get past the first round in this year's playoffs.  Will they make big moves to try and get better?  Or with Boston expected to not be as good, just run it back?  Can't wait for the fun of the offseason to start.  Here we see two Orange Parallel cards.  Instead of diamonds, it should have been pumpkins on the border.

The young players get to shine on Rising Stars and RC cards.  All three of these guys have done well in the NBA.  Of course, Chet Holmgren and OKC were stars of the playoffs this year.

The backs are fine with plenty of color and a big logo.  We also get some more Halloween goodness with the pumpkin.

Can't wait to get Jalen Johnson back from injury.  Not sure the Hawks will be a lot better but he's one of the few things they have to cheer about.  These cards come three to a pack with 40 packs in a "bundle" which is what you'll find in the store.

We get a Slime Parallel Cameron Johnson.  I hope we see more of this kind of special set in the future.  I get they are niche and cheap, but they are fun.
