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.
BREAKDOWN:
60 – Total Cards (20 Packs)
20 – RC
14 – Orange
6 – Slime
1 – Holo Webs

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.
