Basketball Banger Bros,

So most of the time I like to joke around on this site, unless I'm reaming some DBN loser for being a Cheeto fingernailed basement dweller pack searching piece of crap.

But today - not so much. A little bit of a heavy heart.

My dad passed away yesterday in Michigan ... he had been on a steady decline for the past five years and had spent most of his time in the hospital the last few months.

I'm OK - we had a good relationship despite the fact that I have lived out here in California for the last 40+ years.

Anyway, so after dropping my daughter off at school this morning, I stopped by Walgreen's to pick up some more discounted packs.

Chose two more 2021-22 Panini Prizm jumbos for the low low price of $11.99 each.

Pulled this one in the first pack ...





Back when this product first came out I must have busted a hundred blasters of all different brands trying to pull any kind of jersey, auto or parallel of him for my Pistons PC.

That includes at least a dozen Prizm blasters at $35 apiece ... not one base or insert card whatsoever..

Then, today, I pull this.

I don't think it's an accident.

Let's Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

RJ,
Sorry to hear about your dad. It's nice he is supporting your pack buying in Heaven. Congrats on the nice pull!

Thanks very much - it reminded me of the time I bought a 2011 Bowman Chrome blaster in November 2011 on my grandma's birthday (she had passed earlier that year) and pulled the auto refractor/500 of Bryce Harper.

I joined Beckett that day to show it off, LOL

It's weird how things like this work. I can't explain it, but I had my best game in high school basketball after my grandpa passed away. It's strange in a way, but it is awesome none the less.

It's the cosmos.

There is no other explanation for the Cade or the Harper.

Congrats on the pull!!

Thank you, I was stoked and it was bittersweet at the same time.

Beautiful card.

My condolences regarding your loss.

Thanks my man.

There were actually like 5 of those packs left and I had this feeling that no matter which ones I picked, he was going to be in there.
