Panini Finally Defeated Me - 3-Pack NBA Sparkle Break
Panini Finally Defeated Me - 3-Pack NBA Sparkle Break
Banger bros,
For 17 months (!) Panini has been sitting on a 2021-22 Hoops "teal explosion" parallel RC of Isaiah Livers that I sent in for a damage replacement.
After months of crickets from Panini and very weary of their impending demise, in an effort to get anything, I finally sold out and gave in to their offer of three 2022-23 NBA Prizm Sparkle packs to close out the ticket.
Could I land a great RC like Paolo Banchero or Keegan Murray for my Kings PC or Jaden Ivey for my Pistons PC?
Yeah ... no.
I got one rookie card (Jaylin Williams, Thunder) in three packs.
Here's the breakdown.
Pack 1:
- Rudy Gobert red sparkle
- Clint Capela red sparkle
- Paskal Siakam blue sparkle/144
WTF, on to Pack 2:
- Gary Trent Jr. red sparkle
- Patrick Beverly red sparkle
- Bones Hyland blue sparkle/144
Panini gonna Panini, FFS, on to Pack 3:
- Jaylin Williams red sparkle RC
- Evan Mobley red sparkle - color match (LOL) and Trojans PC card
The last card, however, saved the break ...
Stephen Curry blue sparkle, number 024/144!
If I had pulled another common I would have been highly irritated with this break.
I also have three 2022 sparkle football packs coming for a Sam Ehlinger rookie auto I sent in for a damage replacement 18 months ago.
Given the results of this break I'm not expecting much.
I guess I got something, at least.
