No Need To Be Square

 Hello, first time attendee to the blog, another from the 2026 Lot - we have 2022-23 Donruss Optic basketball.


A surprise to none, it is the same design as Donruss for the year, just in Chrome form - so the cards don't scan nearly as well and the players look more like standouts in a dark gloom of a background. The cards look much better in hand, but one thing is clear on the cards...


I know it's part of the design, but why do we need the floating little white box under the Donruss Optic logi in the top left corner? I mean, is this the donut hole from the "O" that just feel from the logo, but didn't get cleaned up? What is the point of the little box? I swear, I'd expect there to be parallels either with a different colour block, or variations of the cards where the block is missing - I mean, this is Panini...


Getting use to Panini backs, these are standard enough, and luckily, no floating blocks to be seen, so I don' have to feel like I'm playing Minecraft or something. 

Lowry as a Heat...no thank you....you are and always will be a Raptor.

My first foray of cards into the set, and with it being 200 cards, not including the short printed/rookie cards of the final 50, a couple more grabs like this and I can get someone a nice start of the set if needed.
