Probably the worst possible timing for this lower tier Aussie mailday, but there are still a handful of nice cards and one absolute ripper (which I'll obviously save for last).

To get things kicked off, a random green Joe Ingles. Note to Brian Goorjian, if you need playmaking and 3 point shooting to boost a stifled offense, try putting this guy in the game!

2019-20 Panini Mosaic Green Prizm

Now let's build this mailday up to a trot and let's "Giddey up"...

2021 Skybox Metal Universe Champions - love the metal finish almost as much as acetate, maybe more?!

2022 Panini Father's Day - Rookies RC - under-rated offering imo given the likely print runs.

Giddey J.jpg



2021-22 Panini Prizm RC (took an inordinate amount of time to find a well centred version, probably has a surface issue - lol)

Giddey J (3).jpg



Love him or hate him, there's no doubt who would have had first shot at covering the Antetokounmpos, Lebrons and Durants at the Olmpics if he were to ever suit up (and shut up). Mr Ben Simmons.

2016-17 Panini Donruss RC - so much hype, so much promise....

Simmons B.jpg



2021-22 Panini Prizm - Global Reach Silver Prizm - really nice looking card in the prizm parallel

Simmons B (5).jpg



2021-22 Panini Prizm - Fireworks Silver Prizm - Przim aren't known for their inserts, but I;ve always liekd the fireworks, really nice in the prizm finish.

Simmons B (6).jpg



A random assortment of 19-20 and 20-21 Illusions Acetate inserts - what you're looking at here is probably the result of some half ass*d rainbow chasing... lol I do like me some acetate finishes though!

Especting bigger things and a bigger role from the new Charlotte Hornet, Josh Green

2020-21 Panini Select Retail Blue Prizm Concourse RC - not as common as you'd have initially thought.

2020-21 Panini Select Courtside RC - Courtsides not reveiving the love they deserve in most instances, get onto it peeps!

2022-23 Panini Chronicles Draft Picks - Absolute Tools of the Trade - and beleive it or not one that is actually player worn / used, not ideal but a step up from the norm these days.

Green Jo (4).jpg



Speaking of courtsides, throwing it back to the days when Select was hobby elxclusive and this dude (Dante Exum) was the no 5 overall pick. I love the way he goes all out in attacking the rim.

2014-15 Panini Select Purple and White Prizm Courtside RC

Exum D.jpg



Another Boomer of the future with his lock down D, actually does a really nice job defending on the ball. Just needs a handle and some offense, preferably a 3 point shot and he'll have a 12 year careers as a 3 and D guy. Dyson Daniels.

2022-23 Panini Select Silver Prizm Premier RC

Daniels Dy (2).jpg


2022-23 Leaf Optichrome Purple Prismatic Rookie #7/8 - A mouthful and an eyesore at the same time! Nice finish on the card though.
Daniels Dy 8.jpg



When is a Boomer not a Boomer? When he gets shafted by the selection committee... Probably my favourite Boomers squad member, Matisse Thybulle.

2019-20 Panini NBA Hoops Premium Stock Silver Lazer Prizm RC - low end or otherwise, I likes what I see from Hoops Premium.

Thybulle M.jpg


2019-20 Panini Donruss Optic Blue Velocity Prizm RC - clour matchish is a nice look and finish.

Thybulle M (3).jpg


2019-20 Panini Prizm Red White & Blue Prizm RC - another colour matchish proposition. Just looks 'clean'.

Thybulle M (5).jpg



2019-20 Panini Chronicles Elite Black Box #/249 RC - I'm just going to say it, I like the variety in Chronicles. For a lowe tier set - it punches way above its weight.

Thybulle M 249 (2).jpg



2019-20 Panini Chronicles Majestic #/249 RC

Thybulle M 249 (4).jpg


2019-20 Panini Donruss Optic Signature Series

Thybulle M (6).jpg


2019-20 Panini Mosaic RC - CSG9

Thybulle M 9.jpg



2019-20 Panini Prizm Silver Prizm RC - BGS8.5 - only downgraded by the surface, looks good to me though no obvious print lines, fingerprints or indentations.

Thybulle M 8.5.jpg


Now for something from the Delly counter - saving the best card for last.

2019-20 Panini NBA Hoops Premium Stock Red Shimmer Prizm #8 / 88 - a truly auspicious card. If this was Jeremy Lin instead it'd be worth thousands!

Dellavedova M 88.jpg



2015-16 Panini Preferred Silhouettes Prime #20/21 - BOOM! Finally a card worth looking at! ..and in case you were wondering, game worn it is! As it shoudl be.

Dellavedova M 21.jpg


Well thanks for sticking with me this long, not a lot of big time cards. BUt at least it;s on topic with what we're all interested in at the moment.

Comments and likes much appreciated, nobody is going to write and post if nobody is going to look and read! Vive le mailday section!

Agree with a lot of what you said:
- Like the Firework Prizm inserts
- Illusions Acetates are great
- I love that Dante is back. How great was that throw down. He looks and plays like he should be in the 90s to me. The purple and white looks great with that Jazz uni.
- Can’t believe we didn’t take Thybulle and Chronicles doesn’t always hit the mark but you have so much variety you are going go get some great looking cards.
- Name plate in a silhouette? Yes please! Great looking card

Thansk mate, i agree with what you just said too. hah hah

Plenty of rubbish to throw away in Chronicles too, but in terms of pulling something nice in a prizm finish, serial numbered or just stuff that 'looks different' makes it a worthwhile product offering imo.

Remember that throwdown of Dante's was with an injured wrist too, on his shooting hand I beleive, - insane! He's almost at the point of being reckless and out of control on those drives to the hoop.

I'm not a huge Delly fan, but that Silhouette card just hits different!
 
I think we definitely could have done with a Thybulle on the AUS team!

The Father's Day and parallels of Black Friday have always seemed underrated to me - not much hobby love - only when Simmons hype was high were some of them fetching decent prices - and some looked so good !

Love the Silhouettes too

Spot on with some of those parallels, really like how Chronciles brings back some of some the older better designs e.g. Black Box Elite looks well, elite.

Can never go wrong with a Silhouette, does a lot of things right.

Some sensational cards there...... and as for Ben Simmons......what a bum! haha

Maybe one sensational card, lol I tend to agree re the BS saga, but youd; have to admit a 6'9' all defensive team calibre player would fit quite well on the Boomers atm.
 
jesus what a post!!! so many superstars we've got but just can't get across the line
We have superstars?! Not sure if I'd rather be blown out by 20 or keep losing these close games... Woudl have been good to see us vs Team USA once again when it really matters.
 
How good is this mailday! It may be lacking in the high end cards but I'm always a fan of seeing (and collecting) the low end cards.

I feel the same way about Matisse and even though I'm an Aussie supporter it put a dampener on the Olympics campaign... I do feel like we would have been a better and more successful side with him in the team.
