Decided to treat myself to a box break for my birthday and because it's been forever since I last busted a box. Out of all the available products my LCS had I liked this one the most and I'm happy with the break. 2 autos of guy's I never had and 2 patches. Well, there's a slight problem with the second patch as you will see...

Base RCs: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Dwight Buycks, Gorgui Dieng, Vitor Faverani (nice), Archie Goodwin, Tim Hardaway Jr. (My best Knick hit of the box..), Solomon Hill, Sergey Karasev, Alex Len, Ben McLemore, Tony Mitchell, Kelly Olynyk, Otto Porter, Phil Pressey

Base Prizm RC: Ben McLemore


Insert RCs: Ben McLemore "Draft Selections", Nate Wolters "Red Hot", Michael Carter-Williams "Young Bloods"


Insert: Ray Allen "Clutch"
Base Prizms: Goran Dragic, Jonas Valanciunas, Danny Granger Purple Prizm #71/99


Paul George Gold Prizm #9/10


(back numbering)


Insert Prizms: Jerry West "Clutch", Russell Westbrook "White Hot" Purple Prizm #34/99


Memorabilia Cards: Walter Berry "Select Swatches" Prime Patch Prizm #13/25. THIS is a """prime""" patch? Give me a break, Panini! Thank you for basically screwing me out of 1 of my box hits..


(back numbering and bottom left corner it says "PRIME", what a joke..)


James Worthy "Select Swatches" Prime Patch Gold Prizm #4/10


(back numbering)


Autographs: Zydrunas Ilgauskas "Franchise Signatures" Purple Prizm #37/60 (My first Big Z auto and it's on-card, nice)


Steve Smith Jersey Autograph (my 1st Smity autograph as well, nice. Too bad it's a sticker though)



And my final thoughts.. I'm happy with the overall break. My only strife is Panini deciding it's okay to put a plain white "patch" on a card and being okay with that but hey, not like it hasn't been done in the past (Upper Deck). But Panini has the license right now so they are subject to my criticism. If the Berry was a jersey card then I'd be okay with it. But when it's marked "PRIME" on the back and it's just a solid white swatch there's a problem. Anyways, the designs are nice and the cards pop. Would I buy another box of this? Possibly. Would I recommend you to buy this? Sure. Until next time...

Love the look of these cards

Nice Worthy and Smith

I got an Eric Hosmer "prime" patch from 2014 Donruss and same thing. It's the same size swatch as the other relic cards and it's a completely white swatch. Very disheartening. At least the Rizzo non prime swatch on the other hit of the box was very well dirt and grass stained.

That Worthy is amazing! Congrats on a great break!

if the george or worthy are ft please shoot an offer over, thanks

WOW! That Worthy looks amazing! Congrats on the break, I have seen a lot of the Spectra Jerseys marked prime but only have plain Jersey in them. Stupid move for sure. Other than that your break looked extremely solid! Great hit on the George too. If trading the Zydrunas auto let me know!!

I concur with pretty much everyone else that Worthy patch is sick! Many congrats!

I know majority of the time I dog Panini but I admit these cards look nice and pop. I'm glad I chose this product to bust.

Thanks. I'm happy I decided against busting Spectra, although the price for a box of that I think is ridiculously overpriced as well and after seeing some YT breaks of it I'm not too keen on the design either. It's my first Big Z auto, sorry I don't trade or sell.

Thank you! My first Worthy patch. I really like the autos I pulled too, my first autos of those players.

Love the look of this set. Have picked up several parallel singles (Faverani, Rubio, De Colo) for my PCs. Congrats on the sick patch

Agreed! that Worthy is one sweet card!
