So why wouldn't you collect this if you like Basketball cards, You can hold, keep, flip whatever. And what does pricing a Jalen Williams rookie card have to do with this Product? If that is the price standard we are comparing any 2025 product too we are all in trouble.
We haven't seen most of the triple, double, and Rookie auto photo shoot cards come out yet, probably sitting in all these over priced Jumbo boxes
There is alot to collect if you can appreciate paper cards, kinda like hoops and donruss, which had some nice cards. Climb off the high horse and the mountain and enjoy the ride at what ever price you want to get in on. Or Don't, and keep complaining that the seat belts are too tight.
The Market is going to Market, if no one is going to appreciate lowend that is on the Market. A collector might appreciate the cards and give you some cash for the pile, either take it or don't.

Your post is sensible overall despite saying I’m on a “high horse” lol. You do realize you didn’t necessarily refute what I said? I’m not talking about collecting black parallels /68. I’m talking about the vast majority of the contents of each box, as in 100% of the contents in most boxes. So if I’m on a high horse for not collecting that stuff, I guess you are too. My point still stands - the prices of boxes are not led by the actual contents, it’s led by poor distribution by Topps / breakers / resellers etc.
I actually do appreciate low end overall too. My main point is that collectors as a whole do not and thus us reflective in prices and actual in person sales. And my side point was Topps basketball, or hoops basketball specifically is not really collected.
