Box Breaks: 4 Boxes of 2017-18 Select Basketball

 
No, it's not deja vu, this is the hobby version of Select and not the Panini Exclusive FOTL boxes I opened two weeks ago, which by the way I take back all my pessimism about that break (though I still wouldn't open it at it's current insane prices). I did REALLY well selling cards from that break including getting $350 for the Ben Simmons Green Prizm and nearly $200 for the Kuzma. Along with selling some other cards from the break, I more than made my money back on my investment. I wasn't looking to sell the Simmons, but with hits like those I always put a pretty high BIN on EBay and if the right offer comes around that's too good to pass up, I'll take it, otherwise it stays in the collection. $350 was too good to pass up! Anyways, so I had pre ordered these at $120 apiece (now currently $170 apiece online) because I wanted to rip some Select but was afraid I'd get shut out on FOTL boxes. Luckily I didn't but I still have these 4 boxes to rip. So...time to see if Select FOTL was really more "loaded" than hobby. For my sake I hope not, I want some nice pulls that rival FOTL! Here's what I got

Overall Thoughts: WOW..how PATHETIC was this break. I should've never complained about my FOTL break because this crap was a million times worse. Up there as one of the worst breaks I've ever had. Mostly crap and I doubt all of the cards combined wouldn't cover the cost of 1 box at $120. When Panini boxes are bad they are BADDDDDD. I was really looking forward to this and am very disappointed that out of  4 boxes I didn't pull anything remotely worthwhile. Pics of the better cards if you wanna call them that.
