2023-2024 Mosaic Basketball Blaster

23-24 Mosaic: Jimmy Butler no longer has the great hair.  Still his Basketball-Reference page has the hair he came out with as a joke for picture prior to the 2022-2023 season.  Classic.

Here we have two City Edition cards which makes up 20 of the 300-card base set.  That LeBron is a Green Mosaic Parallel while the Step Curry is a base card.  It scans darker but that is almost all silver.  You can see those blue lines in spots and that's where the color is.  Jalen Brunson shows up on a   Orange Fluorescent Mosaic #/25.  Great start to the box.

Brandin Podziemski looks like a steal at the 19th pick of the 2023 NBA Draft for Golden State.  Scoot Henderson, the #3 pick in that draft had an uneven season but showed some promise down the stretch.

Three Thunder Road inserts.  The first is a Silver Parallel, then a standard issue, and then a Green Mosaic Parallel.  Can't complain about pulling two Shai cards.

Not sure about the Elevate inserts.  That Green Parallel is appropriate for NBA Champion Al Horford, a favorite of mine.  

The backs are fine.  We get some decent color and commentary.  Not a shiny card guy, but I lean towards this brand amongst that genre of cards.  This year's design maybe isn't my favorite, but we'll see if it grows on me.  Would have liked to see more color on the fronts.

I can see me grabbing another box of these but only time will tell.  There are a total of 10 all-time greats making up the last 10 cards of the set.  Always fun seeing the retired greats and I do like Timmy.
