What's up Gem Fire Banger Bros,
So in another thread I posted the results of the 2020-21 Optic NBA blaster that I got with the store credit from Dave & Adam's via the Aaron Judge/Paul Goldschmidt Topps Chrome MVP Buyback promotion.

The blaster was pretty solid overall but I didn't pull either of the cards I was hoping for - the Rated Rookies of LaMelo Ball or Anthony Edwards.
Seeing as how I never saw a single pack of this stuff during the height of the DBN Era, I figured my chance had come and gone.
Well, turns out my local Walmart was selling these special "re-pack" tins of 2020-21 Optic and Prizm this week ...
As you can see in the photo, two packs of each ... for the low low price of $24.98 apiece.
I bought two the other day and was severely disappointed - no good pulls to speak of at all.
So of course I went back yesterday and cleared out the last four tins - you know, relying on the "they can't all be that lame, can they?" philosophy.
The first three were equally as bad as the first two, though I did pull a nice Killian Hayes silver prizm Rated Rookie for my Pistons PC.
So, I was down to the last pack in the last tin, figuring I'd really blown it ... then pulled this Gem Fire Banger right here:
The dust and scratches are from the toploader ... I'm not a grader guy but if I was, I would definitely send this one in.
(By the way, I don't recommend these ... I feel extremely lucky to have pulled this as the caliber of the rest of the other 23 packs across all six tins was very, very underwhelming.)
Also, side note to Panini ... these tins would have been super cool without the "fat head" effect.
They have ruined many a nice insert by going the fat head route.
Anyway, done with this product for sure!
