Happy October everyone! Today, I'll be reviewing the debut of 2023-24 Panini Phoenix Basketball. It's been a nice mid-end chrome release for football since 2016. Will Phoenix basketball follow suit? Let's find out. Enjoy!
I love Phoenix, I wish the hobby loved it more. Designs are great and I’m glad they made it for basketball. Wasn’t needed, but it is fun. Now let’s get to 2024
10:51 ouch. I agree with you. The season is about to start, and they're still dropping last season product. However, it is a fun rip and sweet design (of course). Enjoy the rest of your day and stay safe, Broski.
Sorry about that 😬 It's being taken care of. I love Phoenix football at least. And basketball is fun, it just feels highly unnecessary and shows Paninis hand. They have no real interest in getting back to a remotely sensible release calender.
I like Phoenix Basketball, but I am not likely to open any Hobby. I might look at the Mega and Blaster Boxes once they are released. I will definitely buy singles online. I enjoy the HOF Veterans in the set to go with the Stars, Semi-Stars, Rookies and Commons. Thanks for your review and break down. 🤓🏀
I agree with most of your review especially with how hard it is to hit rcs. Should be at least on base rc per pack. Set should be closer to 200-250 cards. Premium stock is a much better option as numbered cards are /88 or less and there is one rc per pack on avg
You already know my opinion of this set. I may try another down the road cus I want to try my luck on a Phoenician. And or maybe get that Lively auto 🤷🏻♂️ Great review my dude. GO BILLS!! 🦬
@@huxbux Oh I know! As you’re an influencer, we know you got those stacked boxes lying around. Matter of fact, I saw the Panini Man walk up to your front door the other day. That’s right. Panini Man.
Great video and nice product. Solid rip for you overall. I see it's currently selling for $290 at most places. I wonder if I can wait and this drops even more? Thanks again and nice Crusade and Thrillers cards as well as the nicer auto of the two! GL on your next rip! (Also glad there wasn't human poop in the box)
Me too! 🤣 I honestly think it drops and gets to 250-275. It still floors me they tried charging $500 for this at preorder when allocation price was probably around $125.
My initial thoughts are blasters and Megas could be good. There's a healthy amount of numbered parallels in both, retail has its own case hits, and the Hall of Fame auto set with a solid checklist.
Beware headphone users 10:51. As always the segues are on point. This product always looks great, but being this late of a release feels like a cash grab for more Wemby rookies. Great rip though
Sorry. My video editing software hates me. I did take care of it though. Phoenix is a great set. I just feel like Panini has no interest in getting to a sensible release schedule if they're putting out new sets now.
no, you're not pronouncing 'Yuta Tabuse' correctly but I can't believe he's in the set. He was an uber scrub who played garbage time in his 4-game NBA career, which was 20 years ago.....
I'm a little disappointed we're not getting Chronicles tbh. Flux is fertilizer after last year. Illusions it's been what 3 years since a release? I don't mind Phoenix being a basketball set, but not now. Work on 2024 sets please.
My Hobby Box was such poor quality. Tool marks on every numbered card, off centre prints all over the place and edges with burrs. I will not buy another Panini product - new licensees cannot come fast enough.
Sexy cards. Money grab. Base Wemby hard to hit and not worth much. :( Numbered cards but of doo doo players. Why people get so happy about numbered cards, when may are poo poo. It’s like a win with a numbered card. Dumb. These will be lower end singles in time. Did see this dude pull 1/1 Pyro James. Huge card. Still think they are sexy. Any knowledge of how blasters are ? Thinking doo doo
Getting a fair amount of numbered cards means chance at good players. That's why it's important. It's a dart throws. More dart throws the better. I do agree. Phoenix feels like blatant money grab this late in the year.

I think we're all ready for 2024 sets. And yet we don't have a release date on a single one.
10:51 ouch.

@@huxbux Stay away from the blasters of this product.
@@haroonalrasheed699I'm guessing this is based on Sky-B's review?
@@huxbux As well as others.
Great video, keeps me informed on what's out, keep it up.
Always! Thanks for watching.
SICK RPA 🔥 sorry about the damage 🥲
It feels like my luck 😐
Awesome 2 GG’s thanks for always giving info on product
I'll take a GG box anyway. Be good brotha.
Love your thorough reviews! Thanks Hux
You're certainly welcome 🙏
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 on all your hits and the wemby card is awesome 👌. Thanks for sharing 👍 this video. 🏀
Thanks as always Jeff. Hope you have a great week!
Great product! I Love this set!
Thanks. It's a fun set for sure.
loving this set
It's a great set no doubt. Thanks for watching!
Can you explain the 3 batches you have, one is obviously PC and the other are based but I was just curious.
My piles? Base in one stack, rookies/inserts/non-numbered parallels, and than number cards/hits.

The blaster and Megas look good on paper. The openings I've seen don't seem to stack up to hobby, but it's a small sample size.
I agree with most of your review especially with how hard it is to hit rcs. Should be at least on base rc per pack. Set should be closer to 200-250 cards. Premium stock is a much better option as numbered cards are /88 or less and there is one rc per pack on avg
I think Premium is going to ruin every basketball product for the next month or so.
Great video

We can't all pull Gold Wembys 😝 I mean I could...totally could. I just choose not too 😑
@@huxbux Oh I know! As you’re an influencer, we know you got those stacked boxes lying around. Matter of fact, I saw the Panini Man walk up to your front door the other day. That’s right. Panini Man.
love the videos.. alot of info very nice
Thanks!
The quality control makes me scratch my head often. Really hope when topps takes over they aren’t putting dinged up cards out.
Topps has its own quality control issues. I think it's pretty clear at this point printing Chrome cards isn't as easy.
Great Video & I think products like this & hoops premium stock will get left in the dust with popularity & demand......
Thanks, man! There's the thought that most of the ultra modern sets will become after thoughts except for a few.
Appreciate the vid boss
Thanks for watching brotha!

Nice breakdown.. awesome set.. thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great box
It was a fun one to open. Thanks for watching!
Great review, man! Thanks
Appreciate that. Hope you enjoyed.
Yes! Operation Detonation was Illusions ✅🔥
Thought so. Thanks!
Thought about ordering a hobby box, but I think I’ll just try to rip a mega or blaster of some phoenix bball lol.
My initial thoughts are blasters and Megas could be good. There's a healthy amount of numbered parallels in both, retail has its own case hits, and the Hall of Fame auto set with a solid checklist.
@@huxbux pre ordered 2 blasters off dicks lol. Can’t wait haha
Never really got into basketball. Marvel is my current crack! Lol 😁 😆
Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but the orange Dirk is jersey numbered.
Totally missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thx for sharing 🤘🏼👍
Got a Wemby and that GG was nice! Nice rip
Thanks!
Interested to see how the retail boxes are. Think everybody is afraid to miss out like with the Premium Stock.
They might actually be decent. They have a fair amount of numbered parallels, two case hits, and a nice auto checklist in Hall of Famers.
idk about bad timing. Anything that gives another chance at Wemby rookies is good with me.
Personally, I'm a little worn out on 2023 sets. Not that the 2024 rookie class is anything to write home about, but bring it on.
Nice rip thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Underrated Pence joke 😂 Thanks for sharing!
I wondered how many people would get it. My guess was 50/50.
Kat will be a monster in the East. Seismic also tectonic
10:51 scared the crap out of me 😂
Sorry bout that. Not sure what happened with my software. Working on correcting it.
Seemed like a pretty nice set, but I think the price point is a bit inflated like you said. Thanks for your review!
It has been coming down a bit. I suspect it'll get to sub $250.
Thanks for sharing this, Panini is just trying to make as many products and cash out, that's all!
Sweet
Just got a blaster box of this
Any good? Inquiring minds want to know.
Nice GG box
Could have been Colby Jones 🤣 I'll take GG all day.
getting closer to the "junk wax" era once again like in the 90's.
Feels like it surpassed the junk wax era already, 1000s of 1/1s too. At least the junk wax era was fun
Closer for sure. It's a long road.
It's always nice seeing new products but panini and now Topps are beating Wemby cards into the ground
Beware headphone users 10:51. As always the segues are on point. This product always looks great, but being this late of a release feels like a cash grab for more Wemby rookies. Great rip though
Sorry. My video editing software hates me. I did take care of it though. Phoenix is a great set. I just feel like Panini has no interest in getting to a sensible release schedule if they're putting out new sets now.
10:51 scared tf outta me, skip if you hate loud noises 😅
It is October 🤣 My apologies though. Stupid editing software. I did edit it out.
More chrome sets the better!
Come one, come all!
The definition of womp womp
Not a bad rip
I'll take it. Could have been worse.
Hope you get at least 50% back.
Eh, close to but not quite.
I want the box
If I had to box to give...
no, you're not pronouncing 'Yuta Tabuse' correctly but I can't believe he's in the set. He was an uber scrub who played garbage time in his 4-game NBA career, which was 20 years ago.....
Never heard of the dude and I've been watching the NBA since the mid 80s. Either I'm losing it or he's a super scrub.
another 300 card set..... good lord, someone needs to hide the ink cartridges from Panini.
If you want to print more...
Memphis Box
Ill take it all day. Probably in my Top 3 to watch play this season.
Great video, hope I win
Absolutely way to many sets, just think they left flux, chronicles, illusions and probley others on the bench
I'm a little disappointed we're not getting Chronicles tbh. Flux is fertilizer after last year. Illusions it's been what 3 years since a release? I don't mind Phoenix being a basketball set, but not now. Work on 2024 sets please.
Yuta Wannadifferentauto ha ha
Yes please 🤣
Happy October to you. Fun rip. Thanks for sharing. Keep up with the cool videos 😎.
One of my favorite months of the year! Be good man.
My Hobby Box was such poor quality. Tool marks on every numbered card, off centre prints all over the place and edges with burrs. I will not buy another Panini product - new licensees cannot come fast enough.
Yikes man. That's disappointing. I'd try contacting Panini customer support. It's worth a shot. Maybe they'll do something, maybe not.
Looks like Mosaic but worse, have no interest in this set
Fair enough. It's def busy.
Sexy cards. Money grab.
Base Wemby hard to hit and not worth much. :(
Numbered cards but of doo doo players.
Why people get so happy about numbered cards, when may are poo poo.
It’s like a win with a numbered card. Dumb.
These will be lower end singles in time.
Did see this dude pull 1/1 Pyro James. Huge card.
Still think they are sexy.
