First Buzz: 2024 Panini Select WNBA basketball cards - Page 8

Promethius88 · 10-31-2024, 10:24 AM

Wasn't planning on picking up any of these because of how much I hate what Panini did to the Select line but my lcs said they have a couple hobby boxes that were slightly damaged from the distributor and wouldn't be able to move them sealed. For the offered price, I couldn't pass them up.

That and the individual cards in the boxes didn’t look good on the MRI scan. Kidding! Kidding!!!

Lol, I guess I'll find out. They get stuck between a rock and a hard place. The distributor ships stuff sometimes and it comes in damaged. Of course it's always the better stuff that they limit to just a couple of boxes. If they return it, they won't replace it with undamaged product so then they don't get any.

I have purchased some of the "damaged" boxes before and have never had any damaged cards inside. I just get a really good deal on them!

But with any product, it might be better to pack it out than to risk opening it. I just have a REALLY hard time not opening stuff that is put in front of me, lol.

Anybody know how rare the courtside silvers are? As usual they appear to be super rare but, for people that have opened hobby boxes (and retail) just curious how they’ve fell

In 24 blasters I don't think I got one Courtside silver, but did get a few Courtside Ices.

Thank you

Sounds like they’re about as rare as they’ve been in years past on the nba side then. Searching for the entire product on eBay there appears to be a grand total of 5 courtside silvers, of all the players combined

Need somebody to break it down mathematically lol thank you in advance!

I'll update this when I get home to confirm. I know I got a Lexie Hull Silver Courtside. That might be the only one in 24 blasters I opened. As bustsomewax stated, I also had a few Pink/Purple/Gold Courtsides, but likely only just the 1 silver.

Wow so possibly only one in 48 blasters

Opened my Walmart weborder of 12 blasters just now:

7 #d

Angel Reese Draft Selections auto /25
3x purple /149 of names I don't recognize (vets) (1x was courtside)
3x red & blue /399 of names I don't recognize (1 rookie: Jaelyn Brown)

1x CC base & 1x Pink Ice (concourse)

1x courtside pink ice, 1x courtside red ice

I cannot complain at all.

Spacemanspif · 10-31-2024, 05:41 PM

Thank you everyone for the useful data points. Mine don't come in until Monday but will likely take a closer look at the checklist next week to try and determine a print run once we have a significant amount of samples

Wow that is great! I’ll be trying for some CC courtside cards on eBay. The ice courtsides look so nice. Congrats.

Just the one silver in my 24. There were 5 others between cracked ice or base courtside. Just the Lexie Hull silver.

Then zero courtside silvers between bustsomewax and 793 so that’s one in 60 blasters

Just to confirm, everyone is ripping loose blaster, not sealed cases like Dicks would be, right?
