If it had been hobby only like in football it would have interested me more, but with retail it’s just another chrome product with a high print run. I might pick up some singles maybe.

Does anyone know if Target will have the red ice megas this year? Are they just going to mysteriously appear one day and get scooped up by the bots?

What seems odd to me is that the current market prices for 21-22 prizm retail are quite a bit lower than those of 22-23. At first I thought, “well the hobby has soured on the 21-22 draft class”. And...

Superfractor odds going from 1:1791 to 1:4763. So big print run boost. One could probably assume they will do the same with logofractor and all the other chrome permutations yet to be released.
