Beckett Sports Card Hot / Cold – January 14, 2023
Welcome to another edition Beckett Sports Card Hot/Cold where we take a quick look and what’s hot and what’s not in the worlds of sports and sports cards.
The 2022-23 NBA basketball card season is officially underway. This week saw the arrival of 2022-23 Panini NBA Hoops. Not only does the set have the first pack-based cards of Paolo Banchero and other members of the 2022 draft class in their NBA uniforms, but there are lots of other inserts and colorful designs. The start is later than many are used to but from here on out there should be a steady flow of products — even if there is some overlap with the remaining handful of 2021-22 releases.
As for other products continuing to command attention, there’s 2022 Bowman Draft Baseball and 2022 Panini Mosaic Football.
This weekend marks the start of the NFL playoffs and the march towards Super Bowl LVII in Arizona. Several teams enter the postseason hot, but from a hobby perspective, there’s nobody more intriguing right now than San Francisco’s Brock Purdy. The rookie was an afterthought at the start of the season but with injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, he found himself as the starter on one of the best teams in the league. Purdy has led the 49ers to wins in all five of his starts. Understandably, his cards have soared. But there are still lots of questions as to what will happen next with the team. For San Francisco, it’s a good position to be in. For those speculating on Purdy’s cards, it’s trickier.
Well what does every body think about these new 22-23 NBA hoops basketball ball cards I have not bought none yet but I have been watching some breaks on the phone they look All right I guess you get what you pay for I don’t see no big money in the cards I mean some of the inserts are pretty cool but I don’t think it is nothing really big I may try to buy a few boxes but I am only after the big rookie names I believe we all know how they are at least I know the one’s I have my eyes on but you never know it’s early anything can happen I am a big Kentucky fan but I don’t just go by that I believe the big Duke draft pick cards I have a few of this boy he should get at least rookie of the year if he don’t get hurt I would love to see my home boy Sharpe do something but I really don’t see it I really didn’t think he was ready yet or ty ty Washington I don’t believe he was ready eather but how am I but I have a eye for these things but I hope nothing but the best for all the rookies but it is a hard game out there for these new kids to find were they need to be at lots of people like this Ivey kid we ant in college know more so will see there is some real talent out there and some times these kids thank there ready win they don’t have a clue but I guess if I could play as good as some could from a high school level and college one year I guess I would want to go on to but I still say they will be a bunch that jump the gun a little
