With the purchase of each pack, collectors also receive six base cards and one parallel card limited to 99 or fewer.
The collection spotlights a total of 20 remarkable individuals from the college basketball scene who have graciously agreed to feature in this exclusive series. The men’s roster boasts talents like Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham from Kentucky, Tristen Newton and Stephon Castle from UConn, and other standout players including Kyle Filipowski from Duke and Kevin McCullar Jr. from Kansas.
