Yea sometimes it worth the drive


I will go to at least 4 Wal-Mart's and one target Friday morning... "May" go a bit further and hit a few more.


Throw on some good tunes and roll the day away lol. Always makes me chuckle when I drive an hour and spend 2 minutes in the store lol.


I dont get upset when the product isn't there though. I can understand people's frustration but man... If not being able to find cards is your problem... Then you have good problems

Email from All About the Hobby:

"Hello ,



***PSA UPDATE MOSAIC BASKETBALL***

We received absolutely awful news this morning regarding Mosaic Basketball. Our fear of products being reallocated/cut has become real. 2019-20 Panini Mosaic Basketball will officially be the rarest product when you compare it with Optic and Prizm and here is why:

2019/20 Mosaic NBA Trading Cards will be heavily allocated due to numerous challenges with its production

Panini will only be producing half as much of Mosaic as they produced of Prizm

We are being allocated roughly 37.5% of blasters and 24% of cellos.

We will do our best to identify any further product release issues or delays pertaining to upcoming new releases

WE WILL BEGIN PROCESSING REFUNDS THIS WEEK AND NEXT AND DEEPLY APOLOGIZE BUT THIS WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR CONTROL."

Aka prices tripled so they’re cancelling everyone who got in cheap, as usual.

Exactly what I was about to type. All of these stores are probably going to do it. Especially those who had preorders for blasters at $40 early on. Hope I still get my preorders but won’t be surprised if I don’t.

I was thinking the same but am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

On the other hand, if this stuff is as underproduced as they say it is, those sealed wax prices are going to keep rising.

EDIT - full disclosure, I did not order any Mosaic through them so I don’t have a dog in the fight.

100.


Alott of this hobby sucks. What I really can't
stand is the long winded lie... No need for it.

If the product plummets are they (whoever those liars are... I really only do bidness w/ my lcs , Blowoutcards, and a few of my favorite group breakers) offering discounts? Course not. But if its a buck to be made then they make moves.

Fairly nervous my pre-order will get canceled as well. I ordered around 2K~ worth that looks to be worth 4k~-5k~ now. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. But as someone mentioned above...there are worse problems to have. Especially right now. Here's to hoping I can find some when Target has them in store!

I doubt the company is lying. This is something that could probably easily get checked and the whole company's reputation would get destroyed.

Everyone so quick to hate. I am sure they are not happy about it either and are trying to deal with it in their own way.

I mean there is a pandemic going on...

The part about production getting cut is pretty believable. The question is will they fulfill the pre orders they can or cancel all and sell their stock at a higher price.

I'm sure it is, but if this stuff ends up in their repack stuff like Optic and Prizm did...it makes it seem shady

Yes those products were in our repacks because we purchased them on the secondary market like anyone else can.

Here's the thread if you'd like to read..I don't randomly lash out at companies for no reason. You say some of us are so quick to hate..well you're so quick to judge when you admit you have no clue why we would question their practices

Oh I love road trips haha. I jam out and lose myself in the moment. Part of the thrill for me is hunting. Of course the reward of finding something >>>. It's disappointing if I don't find anything, but I don't get too upset.

I envy that you live kinda out in the middle of nowhere though haha. Wish people here weren't so crazy.

All I know is you gave some of our members here the runaround for a long time and they had to go through loopholes to finally get you to respond to them and that you've have problems with shipments with every product you've advertised.
