The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. It will be hard, but it's not as hard as breast cancer. It's not as hard as chemo. It's  not as hard as getting bad news at your latest scan. It's not as hard as saying goodbye. My mother, Lorie Browning, died 3 years ago from cancer.  Her painful journey started with breast cancer.  That is why I feel I have to do this, and why I'm asking you for a donation, to help end this. I am also a big fan of breasts, and I hate to see anything bad happen to them. Thank you in advance, Luke

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 Each Hobby Box has; 4 autos Cost: $100 Verdict: Yes, there are penal>es in the Pro-Bowl 1/5 Wednesday, March 12th 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 prey neat, I actually like the lile 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 10 Cards per Pack | 1 Packs Per Box | 16 Boxes per Hobby Case Each Hobby Box has; 1 Autograph, 1 Memorabilia, 2 Inserts, 1 Parallels, 3 Rookies, and 2 Base Cards (International Blaster Boxes) 6 Cards per pack | 6 Packs per Box | 20 Boxes per Case Each International Blaster Box has; 2 Acetate Rookies, 4 Addi-onal Inserts, 1 Parallels Cost: $225 for a Hobby Box, $250 for the International Blaster Box Verdict: Yes… and it Counts 4/5 Not Reviewed: • 2025 Pieces or the Past Freedom Fighters (March 12t h ) $190 • 2023-24 Upper Deck DC Annual (March 12t h ) $140 • 2024 Leaf Vivid Baseball (March 14t h ) $150
