2025 Pulse Meridian Football
This series highlights the na-on’s top college football stars as well legendary pros. Each card is #'d to 50 or less
and is delivered in a jewel case. Look for Autographs from legends such as Dan Marino and Jim Kelly, as well as
Signatures (which are somehow different than autographs) of top draM prospects like Cam Ward, Autographs: Appear to be s/cker
Set Size: unk
1 Card per Pack | 6 Packs Per Box | 10 Boxes per Hobby Case

2024-25 Panini Prizm Fast Break Basketball
This is a subset of a larger series that was released February 19th, and we discussed it on the show released
February 22nd. What is different is that you get Fast Break Exclusive: Autos, Rookie Autos, Base and Base
Legend, Parallels in a variety of colors. Autos appear to be s-cker. I saw some cards on Bob The Card Collector
and I think the cards look pre\y neat, I actually like the li\le gold fruit loop bubbles on the cards.
Set Size: I assume it follows the 300 card set size of the larger series
9 Cards per Pack | 10 Packs Per Box | 20 Boxes per Hobby Case
Each Hobby Box has; 1 Auto, 12 Prizms, 6 Inserts, 1 Rookie Varia-on
Cost: $300 per box
Verdict: Boom Goes the Dynamite 3/5
2023-24 Upper Deck Skybox E-X 2000
has its head in the clouds. The throwback-style set from Upper Deck draws much of its inspira-on from the
early days of E-X — more specifically 1996-97 E-X 2000 Basketball. Similar to recent Metal Universe sets,
inserts carry big designs like those of the late 1990s. It’s also a product where autographs are on the checklist
but they’re not guaranteed. Design-wise, Upper Deck is going with the cloudy backdrop the original set is
known for. Although not in every box, autographs do combine to land approximately four per case. That’s about every third hobby box. One place to find them is Autographics, a name synonymous with both SkyBox
and early autographs as a whole. Rookies are 1:140 packs while veterans are 1:280.
Autographs: Appear to be ON CARD
Set Size: 150 Cards
2 Cards per Pack | 24 Packs Per Box | 12 Boxes per Case
Each Hobby Box has; 8 inserts, and 2 Parallels
Cost: $220 per Hobby Box
Verdict: A quarter of an inch the other way, and you would have missed completely 3/5
Friday, March 14th
2024-25 Panini Court Kings Basketball
opts for art as a focal point. Colors and styles collide at all levels of the checklist including base, its many
inserts, autographs and memorabilia cards. Boxes come in two main configura-ons. Hobby is where the hits
are concentrated with both an autograph and memorabilia card. Interna-onal blasters return, offering more
inserts including exclusive Acetate Rookies. Autograph themes include Brush Strokes, Fresh Paint, Heir
Apparent, Impressionist Ink and Legacy Portrait Signatures. Amber parallels for these are only in hobby while
blasters have Jade and Pink.
Autographs: S/cker
Set Size: 265 Card
