Frequently asked
What makes 2022-23 Obsidian different from other chromium releases?
Obsidian uses a dark black backdrop instead of the typical metallic silver found in most chrome products. The Electric Etch parallels add contrasting color to the abstract borders and outlines, creating a unique look. The new Neon Flood versions replace the black with colorful backgrounds and are short-printed.
What are the key rookie autographs to chase?
Rookie Jersey Autographs and Rookie Eruption Autographs are the main rookie auto sets. Top prospects like Bennedict Mathurin, Jabari Smith Jr., Paolo Banchero, and Chet Holmgren appear across these subsets. These cards come with Electric Etch parallels that add scarcity.
How many autographs will I get per box?
Every hobby box contains exactly 2 autographs. This is guaranteed, making Obsidian a high-end product compared to most basketball releases. You'll also pull 2 inserts or parallels and 3 base cards per box.
What are the rarest Electric Etch parallels?
The Red Electric Etch is /5, Yellow is /10, Green is /25, Blue is /30, Orange is /50, and Purple is /99. The White Mojo version is 1/1. The new Neon Flood parallels are short-printed but not serial-numbered. All Electric Etch versions are hobby-exclusive.
What are Volcanix and Vitreous?
Both are hobby-exclusive short-print insert sets that are harder to pull than standard inserts like Equinox or Orbital. Volcanix features players like Luka Doncic, while Vitreous includes Paolo Banchero. These are the premium inserts collectors hunt for rarity.
Does this product have veteran and legend autographs?
