Misplaced Billfold found in El Segundo

Listening:  A Tribe Called Quest, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

Attended a junior high basketball tournament this afternoon.  Apparently, once you receive the ball your goal is to dribble until you find yourself triple-teamed.  At that point one of three events will occur; this is the order of those events beginning with the least likely:  1) successful pass to a teammate, intentional or unintentional, 2) five man scrum on the floor resulting in a jump ball, and lastly 3) a turnover.

No packages today, but don't despair.  I have generated a little pack stash for such days.  This evening I ripped two more fat packs of Contenders:



22 cards in each pack (18 base and 4 inserts/parallels).  36 base cards included in the two packs.  23 go toward building the set:



While the other 13 are dupes heading to the For Trade list and hopefully good homes:



Two Green parallels and six inserts round out the opening:



Kyrie die-cut is a decent pull.  I really like die-cuts.  These were just becoming a thing when I stopped collecting in the '90s.  SP immediately comes to mind when I think of die-cuts.
