I'm watching now and they are mangling all the prizm cards from 2018-19. They even had trouble separating the Trae Young auto from the next card and probably damaged the edges

So if they hit, the influencer boxes were loaded and if they don't. they were CT scanned. To me it seems like the usual 96/100 losers game, with bricking thrown on top.

hermanotarjeta · 08-18-2024, 07:10 PM

I estimated no more than $12,000 of raw cards pulled out of a $500,000 break.

Even after grading and getting 9's and easy 10's they still would have pulled in less than $50,000.

OUch.

dizzy4111 · 08-18-2024, 08:54 PM

That was a BRUTAL break, sick JB Prizm aside. Entertaining watch nonetheless.

dunkindutchmen · 08-18-2024, 09:13 PM

That E-X2000 case has seen more radiation than a sidewalk in Chernobyl.

And that main Blez dude is an uber douche.

Rubin rocks more eyeliner than Vance.

Folks always an have excuse or conspiracy about everything!

If a Kobe Credentials would have been pulled! CT scanned!
No Kobe Credentials! CT scanned!

Half and half!

Just watching a little of that Bleks thing, it is super interesting, he does mishandle the autos, which invariably stick to the next card, probably because of the way they are inserted upside down in the collation. So far he has pumped up a DiVincenzo orange RC /49 for the home crowd. Called him almost the third favorite in the NBA in NY after Luka and Bruh were counted, in terms of sharpshooting at least. These guys are so expert at hyping whatever the packs yield. He did seem to try and intentionally damage the "take a bow" Trae RC auto, though I think it's fine.

Also couldn't help but mention that the remaining 49 cases of 17-18 Prizm go up in value if a Luka isn't hit. I guess to allay scanning concerns, they should try and gather those on a registry and random 'em. But that would take actual agreement and transparency.

18-19 prizm, but we know what you are talking about.

Some additional images of the cards were shared on Twitter. Still trash.

Yeah, these cards make the product look even worse.

But, but, but $2 million Wemby rookie logo card!

KhalDrogo · 08-19-2024, 12:44 AM

Bad design for a Leaf product.

Welcome to the age of CT scanners in cards.

Seriously? While these are awful, Topps gets a pass from me until they have the full license. They can and have no doubt will make some beautiful, fully licensed cards. These were clearly a rush design to show off at Fanatics Fest and capitalize further on the Wemby hype.

oldgoldy97 · 08-19-2024, 08:35 AM

So it takes time to make something look decent? What’s the cutoff? One week, two, 10?

I have a sketch by a well known comic artist he did in 10 minutes. Looks pretty good. But then, unlike Crapnatics, he knew what he was doing, not solely trying to gouge me.

bub838 · 08-19-2024, 08:36 AM

Those look very generic.

nah, the olympic chrome cards look really good (minus the serial number on the front)

Yeah, the inserts and even the basic base look like something Panini would release.
What did we expect? They probably hired the Panini card and set designers.

Enjoy!

That was the whole basis behind their argument to get out of the NFL deal: the people at Panini no longer worked there because Fanatics hired them.

$400 a box by the way…

Blasters and monster boxes up on Fanatics.
