No Luka Doncic? Panini fail.

they used to look like a full blown comic book illustrations, now it just looks like they threw a couple photoshop filters on a photo and added black outlines.

Only the first year Kaboom were illustrated. Everything since has been photoshop filters.

Yeah, year one was king.

Let's be honest, though: that's every insert set Panini has done. Make something collectable that appeals to the 90s insert heads, and spend the next 10 years subtly stripping it down until its eventually a rusted hulk sitting on cinderblocks.

Also, this deserved to be packed out (and maybe it still will be?) instead of used as a Points product. The reason I buy certain boxes is for the insert chases. Lame.

What started as Prizm White Sparkle has devolved into this mess.

Also, spare me the parallels. Serial numbering SSPs is sacrosanct!

I don't understand why they are all called "Kaboom"

I honestly can't tell the difference between any of them because they all look the same. 3-4 years of the exact same insert.

I would think that one person at Panini with a half a brain cell could do something to make them different every year.

I assume these are influenced by some of the old comics/Batman stuff.

How cool would it be to do something different every year.

Name em KAPOW! BLAM! SPLASH! BAM! POW! BANG!

Instead, from Panini we get KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOM! GOLD KABOOM! GREEN KABOOM! MORE KABOOM! KABOOM! WHO WANTS MORE KABOOM!!!?

Luka's Kaboom will be in this years Crown Royale. This is basically 2017-18 Kaboom.

One of these doesn't compute.
Yeah, the games they play with RC timing is a joke. They are still printing 2017-18 RCs while the 2018-19 stuff has been out for over a month.

that's the big question. I can see these flopping and going for $50 a pack with buyers not paying close to what case hit Kabooms go for, or them being really nice cards, strong checklist, and sps and going for $100+.

The Tatum is going to be way too expensive, might try and snag a Kyrie though

Some guesses:

Lebron base: $300ish
Gold: $800ish
1/1: $2k+

Steph base: $200ish
Gold: $500ish
1/1: $1k+

Kobe base: $200ish
Gold: $500ish
1/1: $1k+

Tatum base: $150ish
Gold: $400ish
1/1: $1k

Mitchell base: $100ish
Gold: $250ish
1/1: $800ish

Ben Simmons base: $100ish
Gold: $250ish
1/1: $800ish

Those are the top basketball ones I see. I dont know the other sports but I'd imagine Brady and some of the top soccer guys will sell well too. With those being my expected prices I'm willing to take a gamble. Also nothing ever interests me on Rewards.

Since all of the soccer players were in the kaboom set within select outside of Mbappe, I really only see his going for huge demands. You really think the Tatum base will only go for ~150, i was thinking about double.. If i can get one eventually for around $100 i will definitely try.

The 1st few will probably go higher but I think there'll be a mini-flood of these as they'll pretty much all be ripped at the same time, and you'll see some reasonable prices. I'm going to be in the market for a Curry Gold, hopefully I can pull one!

Neymar doesn't sell as well as Messi or Ronaldo but he doesn't have a Kaboom either.
