Capture the Flagg: Round 2

 The first playing of the game netted me a pair of inserts of the top draft pick and chase player (at least early on) in this set.

What will this one contain?

The first 1/3 were base dupes from the blaster. Boo.

But once the new stuff started appearing, this beauty showed up. Now this  is an action shot, featuring an in-game between-the-leg dunk. And given that it is an alternate jersey, it shouldn't be too hard to find the actual footage of it.

And it wasn't. Even with more than one example of Toppin performing that dunk out there. And even cards of others.
Raptors content! To say the team has missed Barrett over the past couple weeks has been an understatement. 
Grizzlies throwback!
Legends content! At least this is better than the ridiculous 'team checklists' in the set. In both my breaks of the product, I've landed a Seattle Supersonics card, which is odd for a team that hasn't existed in years. This one, with Detlef rocking a 70's throwback design, is the easy winner of the two.
Here's the rookies, and I also can celebrate a second break where I find Cooper Flagg. And when I compared it to the 80-81 throwbacks, they did change the write-up on the back between those and the regular base card, which didn't happen on the ones I pulled one of each from in the blaster. 
The inserts. Nothing new here.
But one thing I did notice is that they used a different image on the back than the front. I didn't really look at the back of the cards the first time other than for sorting them, but it is nice that this feature, for lack of a better term, moved over from baseball.

And there you have it!
