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.
