Hangin with Chuck

Growing up I always had an Advent calendar. The chocolate was terrible, but opening something every day was kinda cool. To that end I decided to get 24 packs lined up to open and feature here on the blog. Each pack will be 2014/15 Excalibur basketball. Below is day two. Thank you for reading. Inserts Base cards, with Anthony Bennett red parallel

Picture of packaging A couple of inserts. Base cards. Hard to see but the Noel is a red parallel.

I was at the local Walmart picking up a couple of quick items for the kid when I decided to check out the card section. I found a discounted box of 2015/16 Panini Prestige basketball. I had not broken any of this specific year's product previously, but had broken a few packs of different years. I figured the price was right so why not. I can't say it was the best break, nothing for the PC, but not the worst either as I did get a relic card in my box. Below are the rookies I was guaranteed in the box and the relic card. Thank you for reading.

I recently had to make a trip to the store to pick up some baby items and stopped by the discounted blaster section. I came across this Triple Threads blaster and figured I have cracked some of this product previously, so I may as well open more. I like this rookie class a ton with Embiid, Parker, and Wiggins. Nothing for my PC, but some of the base I needed for completing the set, if I choose to. Below is what I found. Thank you for reading.

The Loot Locker  just celebrated their second anniversary in September. Hopefully they will have many more anniversaries to follow. To help celebrate I ordered three lockers this month, one each of baseball, basketball and football. I have previously shown my  baseball  locker, and football locker. Here is my basketball break. For those of you unfamiliar with the Loot Locker, you receive some hobby packs, supplies and some candy. If you are interested in any of the cards let me know. As always, thank you for reading. 

It was a sad NFL weekend, which saw another group of stars get lost for the season. One such player, is former Wisconsin Badger, Joe Thomas. His consecutive snap streak was unbelievable, ending at 10,363. Here's to hoping for a speedy recovery.  It isn't very easy to find offensive linemen autos, so glad I stumbled across this one when I did. No crazy or fun story about how I picked this card up, but really stoked to have it in my collection.  Thank you for reading.

I have previously shown my baseball  locker, and will post about my basketball later, but this is what I found in my football locker. For those of you unfamiliar with the Loot Locker, you receive some hobby packs, supplies and some candy. Below are the best cards found in my packs. No ink, or relics this month, but still very happy with what was found. Clowney /90 and Vikings Insert /99. If anyone has any interest in them let me know. And as always, thank you for reading.
