Box Breaks: 3 Boxes of 2018-19 FOTL Select Basketball

 
A rare Monday break, but I wanted to open these before official release day in case I pull some stuff I don't want and can sell on eBay. This is the 2nd part of my Select FOTL break. The first half wasn't too bad.  Wasn't super amazing, but was definitely solid. Here's 3 more boxes.

Overall Thoughts: Well..not "loaded" per se and honestly outside of two cards it was totally underwhelming, but those two cards are enough to make this break a winner. The Kevin Knox Orange Pulsar is a nice hit as Knox is one of the top rookies in this class. He plays in New York and has tons of potential so it's definitely not a bad card to have. The Giannis Zebra is a rare case hit parallel and Giannis is front runner for the MVP this season so that's definitely a nice card to hit. Outside of that though, the depth is really thin. The LeBron Die Cut is nice although high numbered. I pulled two more lower level Luka Rookies and a Luka Jersey. The autos were totally underwhelming. I did pull another rookie Orange Pulsar but it was Jalen Brunson. Hoping though I can get something out of that. All in All though good solid break overall between all 5 boxes. I'm going to wait a bit to see how prices of the Zebras and Knox Orange Pulsars are going. I might make adjustments to my top 5 pulls based on that. Here's pics of the cards
