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.
BREAKDOWN:
60 – Total Cards (20 Packs)
26 – RC
25 – Orange
6 – Rising Stars
5 – Slime

  1. I really like that Panini and Pokemon do this for Halloween. Wish Topps did something like this. Or maybe they do... and I just missed it.

    1. I don't remember Topps doing it either. But it's fun. Maybe it's something they'll do after Panini loses their sports licenses.
