Massive Panini Prizm Retail Blaster Pull!

1/18/2017

I have always been a fan of the Panini Prizm product for basketball, and I enjoy collecting the base rookie cards from each year. This year's rookie class has been pretty weak, with the only exception being Ben Simmons. Despite being injured and not playing an NBA game yet, he is still the hottest rookie card to collect from this years draft. He was a clear #1 pick heading into the draft, and with the amazing play of Joel Embiid, fans are anxiously awaiting to see how the two will play together.

I had bought a jumbo box of Prizm when it was first released, and I was fortunate to pull a base Ben Simmons RC, especially since the rest of the box was awful. While strolling through Target the other day, I decided to pick up a blaster of Prizm and see if I could get another of his base RCs for my collection. When I opened the last pack, I was stunned to see that I had pulled the best possible retail-only insert in this year's set - a Retail-Only Orange Wave Ben Simmons RC numbered out of 25 (link)!

I've decided to try and sell the card, as I already has his base RC and could use the funds to buy other PC items I've been wanting to add to my collection.

I'm interested to hear what your BEST retail pull has been. Share your stories in the comment section below.

I'm not much of a retail purchaser. I've had a few successes though... For 2010 Upper Deck(obviously S1...) I pulled a Ken Griffey Jr. relic, in a box of Bowman Platinum, I pulled a #/25 Jesus Montero futures game relic when he was supposed to be the next big thing, but my best retail successes have been in Allen & Ginter - pulling non-baseball relics of Olympic heroes, and tennis stars of names I can't remember. LOL.
