Cool Stuff #2 - Vinsanity

A SHORT ONE TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE NO TIME BUT WANTED TO SHARE COME COOL STUFF

2018-19 PANINI CONTENDERS VINCE CARTER


MY FIRST VINCE CARTER CARD IN A HAWKS UNI AND I LOVE IT. GAZE UPON THAT GIMUNGOUS PAC-MAN LOGO EATING UP VINCE'S RIGHT LEG. IT'S REALLY REAL NOW. VINCE CARTER IS AN OFFICIAL HAWKS LEGEND JUST LIKE HALL OF FAMER SIDNEY MONCRIEF. NORMALLY WHEN HAWKS GET AGING STARS THEY ARE OLD AND BUSTED LIKE ELTON BRAND AND DWIGHT HOWARD BUT THIS TIME WE GOT VINCE FFREAKINN CARTER. IT WAS SUPER FUN WATCHING HIM THROWING UP THREES WITH MORE RECKLESS ABANDON THAN EVEN TRAE YOUNG AND DUNKING AND JUST BEING VINCE. I HOPE HE COMES BACK FOR ONE MORE YEAR

AH - THERE'S VINCE'S LEG. I'M PRETTY CLUELESS ABOUT PANINI PRODUCTS OTHER THAN MOST OF THEM ARE RIPOFFS OF OLD DONRUSS, PACIFIC OR IN THIS CASE PLAYOFF BRANDS. CONTENDERS ALWAYS HAS THAT TICKET STUB MOTIF THAT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT EATS UP TOO MUCH OF THE CARD REAL ESTATE BUT IN THIS CASE I KINDA DIG IT? PROBABLY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY HOPELESS LOGO FETISH. NO STATS BUT WHO NEEDS STATS WHEN THERE IS BASKETBALL-REFERENCE DOT COM. I WOULDN'T MIND BUILDING A SET OF THIS STUFF. WELL, MAYBE OPENING SOME PACKS. DOLLAR STORE PACKS.

I WON'T MIND WHEN ALL THE DIME BOX CARDS FROM THIS SET END UP IN A FIVE DOLLAR JUNK BOX AT MY LOCAL SHOP IS ALLS I'M SAYING

IT'S NICE TO BE HAVING FUN WITH THIS AGAIN, MORE POSTS IMMINENT!

It has been great seeing Vince Carter suit up with Atlanta. While he isn't what he used to be he far from the 12th man on the bench. The Contenders sets I like. This one in particular gives us the big logo like you pointed out and I like that a lot. The wasted space behind the player could have been handled a bit better though but still I like those cards. Good stuff.
