back from my trip to italy - very special pack break

[deeluxe]

I have been on a city trip through italy the last 8 days - 2 days in Venice, 3 Days in Florence and 3 days in Milan.

I was looking for some NBA trading cards, but as expected there were none except Panini Adrenalyn.

But then I found these packs:

I first saw them in Venice at a kiosk, but as I didn't speak italian I thought these were just posters to collect and ignored them.

When I saw these packs in Florence again, I took a closer look and it turned out that these are little NBA figures to collect.

After opening a total of 21 packs for $4 each, I finally had all 12 figures of the set.

Here is what they look like:

each player came with a little poster

front

back with player details (unfortunately in italian)

They look awesome!

Wow very nice mate..... something different that's for sure! At first I thought it was only international players until I saw the Dwight haha

They are great. Fun figures and they do look like the players. I might be wrong but half are in away uniforms, and half in home. The home uniforms would win, scoring inside with Howard and Gasol. But the away group would have a point guard, and better ball-handling among the other players too.

The poster is good too, but not sure about how they explain the pick and roll and the other play. It looks like they have Howard defending three players, but he can do it.

It looks like you got some bargains, to have an entire set is great. A quick look on Ebay shows Gasol and Howard for sale in Italy, but they don't post to Australia. Item number: 230532464933
