Home of the cool looking foil inserts.
I'm excited to open up these two packs of 2013-14 Panini Pinnacle Basketball from my FairField Basketball Value Box, because the foil insert cards in this series are cool looking.
I paid approximately $2.36 for these two packs, which contains 8 cards in each pack. From what I've seen there's 1-4 insert cards in each retail pack.
