2 x 2022-23 Optic Blasters

[TAB1980]

Going to be opening these shortly. Love the idea of Optic this year with additional numbered cards of which I expect to hit none of them!

Box 1

Box 2

 

[TAB1980]

My first checkerboard! At least it is a rookie i guess...

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Was sure the checkerboard was going to be a Jabari of some sort ! Lol

I could see the team colours and was praying for Thunder

They look great, are the really short printed this release so you know?

Yep. Short printed as usual. They've also added more numbered cards to this year's Optic

 

[Nevetsov]

That Booker looks awesome!

 

[TAB1980]

I'm going back for Round 2!

This time i brought them from a different location because, well, why buy from the same place where i already hit a checkerboard right?

In my opinion, this is the only non-garbage retail product so far this season because Panini have actually juiced it this year.

Shock! Horror! Right?

Just wish this product had the Downtown's like NFL! Then it would be insanely good!

In case you don't know, what can you get from these blasters?

Copper Glitter /99 (Blasters only)
Two Tone /15 (Blasters only)
Inserts Lime Green/ Gold 149/10 Blasters only
Checkerboards
Checkerboard autos /1
Signature Series numbered 25 to 1

Has Panini finally received the memo with this stuff?

 

[TAB1980]

 

[TAB1980]

Retail packs have different numbered parallels but maybe not quite as juicy as the blasters imo

 

[TAB1980]

Box 1 - Kinda fluffed it a little

The Optical Illusions is actually a holo and i have a feeling these aren't too easy to hit. The holo version looks pretty cool too!

 

[TAB1980]

Box 2 - My first Copper Glitter /99

Can't say i'm overly pleased about virtually getting the same rookies in both boxes but at least they're decent.

 

[TAB1980]

Anyone else planning to get any of these?

 

[Iron Clad Lou]

Anyone else planning to get any of these?

You have convinced me.

Now i need to find them

 

[Treysportcc]

I'm waiting for these go on sale again at Fanatics. Usually $25 for normal retail and 29USD for the fanatics exclusive version. Plus 25 shipping for up to 4 blasters. I managed to score some when they had a sale every 2 weeks I think. It was free shipping too. Just hit and miss with what's eligible.

These look so much nicer than last years. I don't think you could even get numbered cards.

Fanatics banned my account due to SMC. Bastards

 

[Treysportcc]

Same, I think they banned shipping to SMC altogether. Which sucks because I've had so many Optic football blasters and megas orders cancelled for those drops.

 

[Iron Clad Lou]

Gee they make it hard.
