An Easter egg of a card

 

In the sense that you're always noticing something new about this great card out of 20-21 Donruss. I've got a Raptors intensive post coming up to show off some Raptors group break cards, but this one deserves a solo spotlight.

At first, this is just a cereal box themed Raptors card, which is fun enough, but then you realize there's so much more. There's the fact that Pascal's stats are shown on the front, as the nutritional information. The cereal bits in the bowl are actually basketballs, and the Collect All 3 on the side represent the card and its parallels with the silver base, the gold foil press proof, and the black 1/1. I'm 2/3 of the way there on a rainbow that won't be completed.

More greatness from the card back. I don't think it would be a wise idea to actually colour in the back. And since there's also nutritional information on the back, the stats get repeated there. Because why not?

This insert set might be one of the best designs in a long time. I would totally break a case of Crunch Time.
