Sport: Basketball
Product: 2013-14 Panini Excalibur Basketball gravity feed pack
Break Date: July 25, 2015
Hit Breakdown: No guaranteed hits
Summary: Grabbing any retail wax is always risky, especially when it's in pack form - pack searchers generally grab any obvious thicker packs out of boxes and gravity feeds in an attempt to grab up the few hits that come out of retail.
But, I liked what I'd seen out of Excalibur, so when I took my son to use some of his birthday Target gift cards, I grabbed up six packs. The gravity feed box looked like it had possibly been searched, but I don't really know what the distributors do with the box when they put it out, so I guess it's possible that it was fresh.
Out of six packs, I guess I'm pretty pleased. I didn't get any hits, but the cards are really nice. Excalibur's base set is really solid - I like the card design a lot - it reminds me a lot of National Treasures, and I may do the base set.
I didn't get any hits out of the packs, but I did pull three camo Crusade cards – unfortunately, no big names - I did pull a Maravich and a rookie (KJ McDaniel) though. And, I did pull a numbered insert, a Slam Inc. Dominique Wilkins, numbered to /99.
Overall, it's a nice break, and once the boxes hit shelves I may pick one up to try to build the set.
