First Buzz: 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA basketball cards

[eastbayak]

Ripped 2 of my 12 blaster boxes with my 2-year old daughter and we hit these!

My box


My daughter's box


Hopefully no additional damage with the CC from her box (I let her rip her packs and she'll usually toss her cards onto the carpet).

Sadly my hunt for a nice CC is going terrible. I've opened around 40 hangers now and about 20 blasters. (Most bought from target/walmart but did buy some on eBay)

12 or so base CC
4 insert CC
1 Green CC
1 Cracked Ice CC

Such a let down.

The best hit was a white Ice /35 Cameron Brink

Decent consolation prize.

The hangers are definitely batched. I can say for sure Cheryl Miller and Caitlin Clark always run together. My chase has been pretty positive. Multiple color and ice hits. However I finally got my first 2 Caitlin’s that are very gem looking. The green I sent was very gem too. The #22 is far more difficult to pull. She is the chase for basketball, WNBA or NBA.

I have hit 3 Checkerboards, one Green Pulsar (Aja Wilson), 2 White Ice /35, Angel Reese and the other Fever player. My heart rate went up when I caw the fever logo.

Graded the ice, blue velocity and green. They all got PSA 9 which I am ok with. Centering is problematic

Decided to rip 2 more boxes tonight and hit these:



Can't believe it lol.

[eastbayak]

Couldn't resist, ended up ripping my remaining 8 boxes.

Nothing too crazy but did hit a couple more CCs (including an ice #22). Strangely, I hit a bunch of parallels (#22 and #145) but only 1 base (#145).

Don't understand but not complaining either.

Those two silver you hit actually look like they have decent centering compared to what I’ve seen!

There will not be thousands of PSA 10’s for either of her cards. Less than 25% gem rate is likely over the long term.

Bought 12 Blasters online from Target since I haven't come across any in the wild (4 orders of 3). Only 1 numbered card out of all 12 and it was an insert of Rhyne Howard to 199. On the Caitlin Front only pulled 1 Base Rookie (#22) 1 Fearless Insert, Blue Velocity (#22), Green (#22), and Ice (#145). For Brink I pulled 1 Base (#127), 1 Silver (#143), 3 Ice (1 #127, 2 #143). For Angel Reese I pulled 3 Ice (1 #147, 2 #10) and a Silver Prizm (#10).

Nice rip. I think you did well. Are any of the CC worth grading?

[sluggerwx]

Daughter pulled this out of one of those collector tins with 4 packs in it. I thought they were the Select ones we opened a couple months ago then saw they were Prism.

Regular season start is almost here! Her gem rate is still staying incredibly low. WNBA logo prizm #22 still has no 10's.

Silvers
#22 - 40 out of 443 PSA 10
#145 - 15 out of 224 PSA 10

Any word on your CC red /299 grade wise? They do look tough this year—one 10 out of 50 graded so far.

So about 6 of /299? That is nearly a unicorn

Are the new'ish WNBA Monopoly blasters worth picking up?

I assume it's Caitlin or bust with a handful of tier 2 names?

Yes, CC or bust. I don't follow it closely anymore, but I don't think the next tier (Brink, Reese) even sell that well anymore. The product has been out for a while.

For the same price I'd rather buy Draft Picks and atleast have a chance at an autograph.

[Hess687]

Anyone know when Donruss comes out? I saw a date of today, then the 16th and now the 25th.

It was the 16th but may have been pushed back

[bub838]

I'm seeing 25th on one distributors website and BO has July TBD now.
