'nother Wal-Mart assorted blaster
'nother Wal-Mart assorted blaster
So at home for 2+ weeks with no cards was getting to me after just 3 days so I picked one of these up. Nice to see them again because the Wal-Marts where I am in NC are no longer carrying the assorted basketball blasters.
The packs in these things improved a bunch! Not sure if it was a fluke or not but I only had one pack of first edition, had a 10-11 Donruss pack, 08-09 Chrome pack and the rest were at least decent 09-10 fillers like classic or prestige or UD.
In any event, I don't have a scanner, but I had several ok hits, including a Kobe MVP insert out of an MVP pack, Dwight Howard decal from 09-10 Panini, topps gold border 'Melo #ed to 2008, Garnett base Chrome (sweet pic of him on it) MJ Legacy hit and a Brandon Jennings SP RC from 09-10 UD, Kareem/Walton alumni mates hit from 08-09 hot prospects (and a Kobe base).
The nice hits: my first Rose RC! (didn't start back collecting til last year). Unfortunately it's First Edition, but still books better than half the blaster. Also pulled a dual GU from an 09-10 UD pack of LeBron/Magic Johnson! It's actually got nice swatches too. Magic's is bright yellow and LeBron's is actually gold colored.
All are FT but I can't ship out til after I get back to NC on Jan. 2nd!

I collect Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, and Ohio State players (football and basketball) in OSU gear. I strongly prefer 90's-era cards and use newer cards primarily for trade bait!
