Random Wax: 2023-2024 Contenders Basketball (2 Packs)

23-24 ContendersShai Gilgeous- Alexander is a stud.  He may well be the MVP this season though The Joker will have a lot to say about that.  He's leading the league in scoring, is only 26 years-old and a great watch on the court.
Really good pull.  This set is 160 cards so you should see some pretty good star power in packs.  Joel Embiid is shut down for the season.  Shouldn't be a surprise considering all the injuries he's dealt with but man if there's one player you just want to see healthy, it might be him.
Rookie offerings.  I want Scoot Henderson to be good but he's still on the bench and I don't feel like Portland has a good plan for developing him.  I'm not saying he's worth of the #3 pick that he was, but I'd like to see him get an extended look in the starting lineup to get a real look at him as a player.  I like these Stallions cards.  That smokey look with the horses in the back is kinda cool.  
These cards are from two of the fat packs from a fat pack box I purchased last year.    
Big fan of these Historic Draft Class Contenders inserts.  Retired greats and fun photos are a win.
Here we have a Green Game Ticket Parallel, Game Night Ticket card, and a Bronze Game Ticket parallel.
Three of my favorites in the league today and a Wemby sighting.  I've got more of these to show off over time.  I had a good pull this time and lots of fun.

  1. Nice Wemby. I've only seen highlights of him... but based on what everything I've heard it'll be exciting to see how his career pans out.
