I really like Court King Level IV myself. I like CK in general so those are a fun chase. But tbh, I haven’t purchased CK in quite awhile due to all the sticker autos in recent years, but that’s a whole other issue, lol

2017-18 Panini Essentials Platinums has been my set chase for years now. I’m like 17 away from the set. So I’ll add those to the list as well.
Always looking for high end Nuggets cards, current players and Rare 90's/00's!

I'm a big fan of unnumbered SP/SSP/Case hit cards. I have a bunch of ones i really like but Court Kings Level IV is at the top of my list and has been since day one. I got this in a group break on release day.

#1 Flux Full Capacity
#2 Revolution Galactic

everything else gets bunched into 'like' or 'kinda like depending on the year'. Including CK IV's, which I typically really like, though I think some years the Level III's stand out more. I like Blank Slate's though I don't own any and don't know if they feel special enough to justify the prices. I like the Cinq Pu Belle from CK too, but again I don't really seek it out too often.

I love 2015 Prizm White Sparkles but feel like they've gotten way too diluted in the later years.

Ah, yes if we're counting serial-numbered I love Optic black velocities! Also Revolution Lavas /10 and of course Prizm golds, though they are starting to get stale for me. I do like the black golds /8 especially with Optic borders. And I like the all-white Obsidian Electric Etch Contra /3.

I actually really love the 17/18 & 18-19 Crown Royale Pacific Marquee's. I also really liked the recently released "Translucence" from 21-22 Mosaic, they look really nice in hand and kind of reminds me of the E-X cards from 00's

I'm a big fan of Pacific Marquee. Not only do both years' designs look really good, but really different as well. Different color schemes, technological effects, foil work, no border on 17-18 vs. 18-19, it's all got the same vibe but isn't a rehash of the same design, which is obviously a big problem with Panini releases year after year.

That's my big thing with some of the other SSP like Kaboom. It's an amazing design, but the rehashing kills it for me. 90s inserts are amazing because they constantly try to come up with new designs even within the same series.

Of SSP inserts not mentioned, I love the look of Permit/License to Dominate, Artistic Selections, and Prizm Manga.

Some beautiful inserts in here. I have a soft spot for the first year of Rock the Rim inserts in 2017. Also seems like Crown Royale inserts were specifically tailored for 90's collectors imo.

Top 3 - Flux, Downtown and Colorblast for me. I'm also a sucker for black backgrounds like Night Moves, Eclipse and the Snake/Tiger Eyes.

Oh actually want to add Origins Origin Stories. Don’t have one, but they’re incredible looking cards.
