NBA Hoops Preview on Instagram

smalltown · 10-10-2018, 10:23 AM

First NBA release of the year. Can't wait.

PKIPP · 10-10-2018, 10:32 AM

Those class of 18 inserts look cool. Love the old school look. I wish they'd makes a whole base set like that!

theLUCKYshow · 10-10-2018, 11:11 AM

Bring it on! Late Oct release date?

Orangejello727 · 10-10-2018, 11:17 AM

looks the same every year to me!

I like how doncic has the same picture in the portrait as he does in the main photo lol

The main set would be cool if it was die cut, thought the ayton was for a sec. The faces of the future set looks really cool imo

Need some new Ersan's in my life, so looking forward to the release

oldgoldy97 · 10-10-2018, 12:47 PM

I wish it came out this week.

Right now it's the 24th.

Giantrobot · 10-10-2018, 01:52 PM

Can’t wait! Two weeks away! Always my most anticipated release every year, so much fun to rip.

xposipx · 10-10-2018, 02:15 PM

I put this set together through two boxes every year. They look exactly like last year's, but I won't complain for the price. Used the ebay 15% off and got two for $116 shipped.

Legend base cards, I really like that especially knowing Reggie Miller has one; they need to include them in Prizm too and take out the coaches. The Faces of the Future look really cool and would look insane if they ever made a Hoops Optic (I think it would work a lot better than Donruss Optic).

Base set looking action-y. Dig it.

KingBen · 10-11-2018, 08:17 AM

I miss 90's Hoops, and wish the cards these days were more plain, and better pictures, and full background of the actual picture, and less shinny and dizziness where a nice picture should be. I also miss Topps and Fleer. Upper Deck not so much.

I like this post.

WaiverWire · 10-11-2018, 09:50 AM

I like the "Class of 2018" cards but not a huge fan of the base cards this year. Because of the design, they seem off centered to the naked eye.

That's why I like 1996-97 Hoops.

longbomberz · 10-11-2018, 10:14 AM

The Lights Camera Action set is pretty nice looking for those aching for action shots.

SteveO21 · 10-11-2018, 10:18 AM

Oh yeah! Awesome shot of Domas.

SteveIsLegend · 10-11-2018, 10:28 AM

Seems like they could have thinned out the bottom and right white border a little bit. At first glance it seems thick.

NoleinJax · 10-11-2018, 11:44 AM

I may have to pick up a couple of boxes to open with my son. He could care less about big hits so this will be great for him.

My son likes it too. Also going to do the case break here on blowout.

Hallco · 10-16-2018, 08:55 PM

This is the first year since 2012 that I have not collected basketball. I was disappointed with most of the 17-18 releases and my interest faded. Hoops was always one I looked forward to. I can't believe that they didn't get this out before opening night. Crazy! Good luck to everyone who is ripping this. Maybe I will change my mind at some point.

nera20 · 10-21-2018, 04:26 PM

Which Parallels are in hobby and retail.

I keep trying to look it up looking at last years and this years and its tough to figure out which ones are only in hobby and which ones are only in retail
