Random Wax: 2023-2024 Haunted Hoops Bundle

 23-24 Haunted HoopsDame should be back on the court in 2026-2027.  His time with Milwaukee was short and not that great unfortunately.  Hopefully he'll retire a Trail Blazer now.  Him being in Portland is just right even if he's 35 and nearing the twilight of his career.
It's Friday the 13th so fun sets like this are perfect.  Zion is having a good year but he's still one of the biggest enigmas in the sport.  You get a mix of Slime and Orange parallels in the set along with the standard white boardered cards.
Youngsters are highlighted on Rising Stars and base RC cards.  Brandon Miller and Chet Holmgren are stars in the league now.
Zach Lavine is a Sacramento King now and out for the rest of season with injury.  Anfernee Simons is a Bull after a short stop in Boston.
Holiday was traded to Portland in the deal that sent Simons to Boston.  Murray was traded to New Orleans but has been out all season with injury.  De'Aaron Fox is now with San Antonio and Wemby.  So much movement in the NBA.
BREAKDOWN:
60 – Total Cards (20 Packs)
15 – RC
12 – Orange
7 – Slime
4 – Rising Stars

  1. This post stirred up some memories.

    a. Anytime I see these Haunted Hoops, it reminds me that I have a Costco pack (not sure of the year) sitting in my cabinet at school. I received it from a student a few years ago for my birthday, but I never had the chance to open it up.

    b. Ironically seeing Dame reminded me of another student present. This time it was a box of Panini Prizm Monopoly. Not sure of that year either, but I pulled a #'d Lillard from the box.

    c. And I hope Zion ends up having a hall of fame career, because the last basketball boxes I remember buying were some 2019-20 blasters.

  2. Nice Dame pull. I never did open any of the Monopoly cards. Not sure why. I remember seeing plenty of them.
