best Panini era SSP insert?

Nomad · 03-21-2024, 07:59 PM

Just occurred to me that the best Panini era SSP insert is no longer immediately apparent. I am talking like near consensus, as with 90s PMG.

A couple years ago a good percentage would have said Kaboom! but it's on design repeat, plus all those app fakes. And there are a few new inserts that have turned heads. (I left off Downtown, couldn't think of it).

Does Nesmith appear on any of them? Because that would be the best of the best.

My Kaboom gb hit WWE walkout theme irl:

I fear those that can't appreciate the SSSP kardboard onomatopoeia goodness may suffer from deadness inside. And/or still rock Skechers slip-ins.

Obviously not, but we are spacing out the hits, and even presence in sets, for my man. Brunson-eque.

I'm gonna have to wash the taste of that out of my mouth ninja.

Only bass I phux with are the ones that land me in bankruptcy court. She gets a courtesy Fansly sub from me, though.

jplarson · 03-21-2024, 09:05 PM

Prizmania

watashiwa05 · 03-21-2024, 09:39 PM

It’s still probably Kaboom. But I really like:

2021 Origins Origins Stories
2018 Court Kings Gallery of Stars
2017 Crown Royale Pacific Marquee
2017 Essentials Rock the Rim
and the entire Aurora line.

Full Capacity / White Night / Solar Eclipse are all really nice newer entrants

Kaboom bothers me with how many dudes are just walking yelling at the "camera" without the ball in their hands. Maybe if they were all sick nasty dunks like a few of em are. Also it bothers me how starting in 2019 Kabooms are just the same background as Revolution Impact parallels.

Y'all already know what the answer is.

hermanotarjeta · 03-21-2024, 10:19 PM

Y'all been had, they all suck.

At least the color blasts suck a bit less.

Time stopped in 2016, so seven years ago was basically yesterday.

10 toes. From the seed.

Am down for a custom ringtone. And by that, I mean him literally straddling my obliques in one of those front mount infant backpacks belting Sweet Child O' Mine every time my Galaxy One vibrates.

One and One Downtown is easily my favorite followed by the Gold Kaboom

Imagine how much better color blasts would be if instead of a rainbow chromium blob on a large field of white, the entire card was that colorful chromium background with various patterns between cards. Good lawd that would have been sexy.

Blank Slates

cms11 · 03-22-2024, 12:06 PM

I don't like the comic book looking ones. Color Blast and Blank Slates keep it plain and simple.

I was gonna say its a Work in Progress rip-off but the more recent black version actually pops. Reminds me of the Investor's Journal MJs.

Why do you allow her to live rent free in your head?

Wouldn't the Works in Progress be a Blank Slate ripoff since the slate came first?

imbluestreak23 · 03-22-2024, 04:52 PM

I would say 2 of those 4 are the most over rated, garbage, overpumped inserts of the Poopini era for sure.

He said overrated garbage so he was clearly talking about Kaboom and Prizmania (or whatever that crap is).

drobfan8 · 03-22-2024, 08:24 PM

What the hell is a Prizmania? Yuck

I think it's Color blast out of these choices.

Kabooms look a little tacky at times.

I like some Revolution Galactic inserts far more, even though some look terrible.

Downtowns actually deserve the hype. They look great
