2023-24 Select Basketball Blasters New Mezzanine + #'d Flash!

Today I'm ripping the brand new 2023 Select blasters! Panini added a new Mezzanine level this year, so the base set is bigger. And there are new #'d Purple Flash and Blue Flash parallels.

That first blaster was like a dream blaster, Wemby, auto, and numbered 😮

[@gemmintmasters]

I actually like the variety here! I know the design is getting a lot of hate but from what I’ve seen these aren’t all that bad 👊🏼

[@BigJBasketball]

That first blaster was loaded! Definitely digging the new numbered cards in retail this year 👍🏼

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, I like the purple flashes

[@cardhubph]

Thanks for the product review Sage. 🙏

[@gamedaylegends515]

Nice blasters! Thank you for sharing

[@Bangpaulxu]

Nice Wemby and numbered pulls!!! Rookie auto for the win! Select is awesome! Thanks for sharing Sage

[@SageTheCollector]

I'm sure I'll be seeing some Select on your channel soon 😁

[@Bangpaulxu]

@@SageTheCollector opened a select mega (2022-2023) and wow! First time I got a box with really little base, mainly all inserts and cracked ice. Love select lol.

[@TNpl84]

Nice I like these cards this year. I ordered some can’t wait to get them.

[@user-wk4vz7ij4l]

Sage you posted a link to target website and I got two blasters. I pulled a red prizm Wemby select certified all thanks to you! I’m glad I have a card in my pc all thanks to you helping me!

[@SageTheCollector]

Nice! 💪🏻

[@RadPokeDad]

Oh I’m excited to see what these look like! I’ve been ripping 21-22 lately cuz it’s on sale at Walgreens lol!

[@jamesgriffiths1601]

I’ve always loved Select, even the dull blue because it was something different. This is a good change up too without being too crazy. Very pricey though for what you get and too hard to collect anything above concourse. Way too expensive in Australia too which is disappointing. Love your channel, thanks for the review!

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, Select is definitely not a good set for set-builders. And I definitely prefer the mega boxes with the cracked ice.

[@ofbreaksandtrades]

Nice rip! Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelstarbuck7503]

Thanks for the review bro

[@skhoops1017]

Nice thanks for sharing 👏

[@CardManic]

JP...BLAH. courtside true silver was nasty!!! always nice to pull PC autos! nice Sage buddy!

[@SageTheCollector]

You don't like JP anymore? What's not to like? 😄

[@pacobs6628]

Kinda digging the variety. I’ve got a couple on the way. That first box was great!

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Nice!! This was a fun rip, pretty decent variety and hits. Looking forward to getting my hands on these Select Blasters

[@SageTheCollector]

It was a fun rip for sure. I almost bought more today, but 9 blasters is probably enough. 😁

[@jacobewhite-jw]

@@SageTheCollector the more the merrier

[@MattyBoy23]

Gorgeous Vic Pull! Mind sharing what overhead setup you use? I'd like to start showing some of my cards and objects. Thanks man, absolutely love your channel

[@SageTheCollector]

I just use an iPhone

[@laurenpenen7198]

Nice pulls! I ordered 2 blasters from Target & they'll be arriving on Sunday! Hopefully, I will pull some 🔥 🔥!

[@SageTheCollector]

🤞🏻

[@kiingofkiings]

This design is the worst thing ive seen from select.

[@i_do_this_4_fun]

Good luck with the rip!!!!!

[@lalilulelo]

I just ripped a 2023-24 Revolution Chinese New Year box. Pulled an emerald Jalen Green /88.

[@SageTheCollector]

Nice! 🤘🏻

[@MarkJones-cp3iz]

Awesome pulls

[@sly-1429]

Select cards just look SOOOOO NICE!!!!

[@JKsCardShack]

I like the new Mezzanine design, especially how it’s not blue! Reminds me of older Select. And thanks for the shout out! 🎉

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks again for the deal! The Mezzanine cards are the same blue as the other levels. I just happened to get two regular chrome Mezzanines for some reason. I still don't get that. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jonsboxbreaks]

Oh Nice, I didn't realize these came out before hobby, just picked up a couple to rip on the channel.

[@SageTheCollector]

🤘🏻

[@drewbreezy5854]

Killer first box

[@TSC1231]

Nice rip! That first blaster was great, nice PC hit

[@NbaEditz1685]

I bought one box and got a Brandon Miller thunderlane /99 and a Victor wembanyama base rookie. I think i got insanely lucky 😭

[@SageTheCollector]

Nice! 🤘🏻

[@FrankyDup12]

Nice to see some 2023 Select! Thank you Sage, awesome video again!

[@SageTheCollector]

Mega box video coming soon (hopefully)!

[@gavrieee1188]

I dont know what to feel about the new select. The designs are a bit confusing but the inserts look great imo. Nice pulls and PC pickups!

[@kickinitwithcarter2398]

I really like this design. I think I’m going to pick at least one up. I just don’t know if i will be able to pay $30 for them.

[@BaseHeadSports]

Design similar to last year...much better than 2021..... 5:32

[@DangerRoomCollectibles]

Excellent Video, The Premier Level almost looks like a mis-cut card with the Logo, Photo, and Player name all on one half of the card.

[@SageTheCollector]

It does! I'd pretty crazy looking. 😄

[@joemarsh2050]

I got 3 bc i saw your post about them the other day!

[@SageTheCollector]

🤘🏻

[@kicksandcollectables]

Man I'm hyped for the new Select and Optic, hopefully it's waaay easier to get than Prizm was, still have yet to find a single mega in stores to date, and 0/100 online as well.

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, Prizm has been impossible to find after the initial drop

[@sly-1429]

Nice PC auto and I couldn't forgive myself if I didn't drop a POOLE PARTY when you rip a Poole card. 😂

[@SageTheCollector]

🌊☀️

[@jordanhightower]

I'm definitely a fan of this year's product. Centering looking solid on the cards as well, which is the exact opposite of previous year's Select. Thanks for the video!

[@SageTheCollector]

I can't wait to get my mega boxes, so I can pull some nice red ice Bulls! 💪🏻

[@PackAPunchCards]

Can’t wait for mine to come in the mail

[@sly-1429]

ThunderLane cards are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ball4life770]

Does walmart have these in store?

[@SageTheCollector]

They will at some point

[@Kramer7969]

Did retail come out before hobby? I haven't seen select hobby ripped yet nobody is saying it it seems.

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, no hobby yet

[@GirlDad_cards]

Blaster 1!!! Not sure how I feel about the premier level

[@SageTheCollector]

It's definitely a funky design

[@sam-ll2xc]

Premier level looks like a miscut. I just assumed it was Panini being Panini.

[@SageTheCollector]

It does kind of 😁

[@cenogotkicks5269]

First Looks Not To Bad !!!!

[@cenogotkicks5269]

I seen someone pull that lodestar Victor Wembanyama card so nice 😮‍💨

[@yeti4954]

This first blaster is fire lol. edIt: Getting a DBook orange but not wearing orange hurts my soul.

[@SageTheCollector]

That D-Book would have been so sweet if he was in their orange jersey. 😭

[@PickSixCards]

What’s up Sage

[@Gladtheripper]

I still hate that there's 2 base colors, but I love this set

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, the retail blues are still odd

[@acg2002us]

Hey why all the hate on this new select set? I actually kinda like it think of all the diff wemby cards and parallel combonations $$$

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, I don't think it's any better or worse than last year. They added more cards to the base set, but they also add two numbered parallels.

[@wonton3063]

Nice pc pick. Where is jk’ card shack??

[@SageTheCollector]

eBay and IG

[@jloveprodzz]

5:04 they all look like they are off centered 😂

[@SageTheCollector]

Dammit. Now I'm not going to be able to unsee that. 😄

[@bcast89]

The courtsides look like they’re gonna be a hard grade. Not liking the design of this years select 😕

[@kobe80589]

Someone should check the checklist, see if wemby is even in it. Watched 4 vids already and not 1 person has even pulled a wemby base

[@Kystifyable]

He hit Wemby base in the video early lol.

[@SageTheCollector]

Ummm...I think you need to watch my first blaster again 😉

[@kobe80589]

@@SageTheCollector my bad I skipped it lol

[@ryanmendoza3220]

Not a fan of this year select design. 😅

[@chindahlquist9376]

Select sucks unless you pull numbered. They ruined it when they made select retail all Blue. That just gave them more room to mass print this stuff. Unless your chasing or early rip and sell, these will not be worth it IMO. Hence last year's NBA select still on Target

[@SageTheCollector]

This year may be different because of Wemby. We'll see.

[@chindahlquist9376]

@@SageTheCollector yeah your right, I got 3 blasters from Target but I really hate the blue select. Last years select nba was a joke. total waste. They added mezzanine level. another level to print more. I just dont like anyting about these Select product.

[@DarkonotNarco]

Hello i was the one that dropped them off to your doorstep. I wanted to come in a say hello but i didnt want to bother you

[@SageTheCollector]

Smart decision, because you would have had to fight my attack rabbit
