Sure, it's about a third. That's one of the reasons is see this eventually being more expensive than 13-14. But the most important question at this point is which one has the biggest number of unopened boxes. I don't think it's that far from each other.

But I agree with the point of not feeling crushed. There have been some dud boxes out there, but it seemed like a decent amount of them had at least something good in them.

Yeah, but the Giannis Elite itself probably outsells Zion+Ja+RJ+Rui+Coby. I think the rookie base portion of the set would barely outsell the one from 13-14 mainly because of Giannis.

As you say, even if your box "sucks", it's really hard to feel crushed about this release. I bought one for 450, got about 50% back and had fun. It's really hard to get more out of wax these days.

Yeah Elite seems like a no brainer hold to me. I’m not sure that boxes will ever reach 1k plus, but I’d bet the house that they hit 750-850.

The Giannis Purple might be one of my favorite cards right now...

[maj78]

Agreed - beautiful Giannis! The entire set is really nice.

[guru]

I love the picture they used for that RJ Barrett RC

[shootit]

650 will be the new bottom soon, then 700 then so on

Anyone looking for Giannis? I have a Red SP Parallel and 2 primary color inserts

[brothertona]

Hey guys, pumping this back up. Do ya'll still believe the reds are SP to 133? Currently looking at singles, and would like to know.

Yes , there have been several very thorough breakdowns in this thread that show it is definitely less than 140.

Sad to see this product not get the love it deserves... just got trapped into the chronicles hype! The cards are all beautiful and this is a limited product!

This will have it's time in the sun. Either people will figure out there is good value (compared to other 19-20 stuff) or everything else will dry up and this will be the only thing left.

Same. I'm shocked that prices are actually going DOWN right now.

[brothertona]

Just picked this up for $20

If anyone still likes this stuff, you can get boxes from BO for under $575 using their current coupon code. It seems like this release just got lost in the shuffle, and I’m not sure it will ever get much love.

[brothertona]

It’ll get it’s due. For sure underrated product of the year because there were virtually no big breaks of it from the main breakers.

[brothertona]

It is for seriously slept on, the Herro and Reddish were dirt cheap and the reds pop. God they look so good in hand.

Price keeps dropping on this...now $505 with code from BO. It’s funny...even though I really liked opening the one box I bought, I don’t know if I would pay that much to open another one. I guess most people feel similar and that’s why they’re struggling to sell these. Black Friday sale maybe? Let’s get to $400! Haha

I loved opening Elite this year. I too wish it caught on more. I bought a case at about $400/box and have no willpower to keep cards sealed. I busted the case with my son and did pretty well. We hit (2) gold Spellbound Luka's #/10, (2) Blue Zion's #/99, (1) Blue Ja #/99, Zion Pen Pals Auto #/49, one Base Ja, one Base Zion and several mid-tier autos that sold well and an Auto Redemption Tyler Herro which I'm sure will be here sometime within the next 3-5 years.

The cards are definitely condition sensitive. We sent the Zion Auto in Express to PSA and it came back a "9" with a "10" for the auto. It's what I expected with one small corner issue. The two blue Zion's #/99 I still have and did not send in for grading because they will be either 8's or, at best, 9s with slight corner issues.

With what I sold out of the case I probably got close to $3-3.5K back and I still have all the Ja's, Zion's and Herro redemption auto (hopefully someday).

Bought one pack on LBB last night... hit this sweet Ja:



Full transparency: a few nights ago I bought 4 packs and got ziltch. All inserts, no rooks or numbered cards.

Nice hit! I personally think the Elite looks really nice and have been itching to open the box I bought. I said I would open it when I make some sales to open it for free.

[beavers]

I really loved opening Elite.

I'm likely in the vast minority but I love the clean look of the new no sub grade BGS holders..also really like Elite. Cool stuff!

You spelled Giannis’ last name wrong.

But really, those look great! Well done!
