He bet $3600 that he would hit CJ, and he won. Congrats to him, but a lot of people aren't going to be so lucky. 10 packs would give you a 10% chance of hitting CJ, people are going to spend $6000 for a 1 in 10 shot. People are nuts.

Yeah I guess if money is no object, why not rip it

I'd sell while he is hot if I was him.

Starting to feel these won't hold the test of.time even if CJ wins 1+ SB due to lack of serial # and possible Panini employee backdoor. They really should be stamped.

Anyone seeing prizm blasters/megas everywhere?

small sample size, but the three walmarts in my vicinity (within 30 miles) are absolutely LOADED with prizm.

My local Walmart never has much of anything

Does Walmart charge $5 more than Target for a blaster in store or just online?

Hardly anything in Targets and Walmarts near me. One Walmart seems to always have some cards, but nothing like the pictures above.

The vast majority of WM & Target stores in Central Jersey, have had corrupt reps for the past 4+ years! If it ain't Score, Contenders/Chronicles Draft Picks, or some other type of unlicensed garbage, it literally doesn't even make it's way outta' the stockroom! Backdoored and/or sold-direct to their....."connects".

SHEISTY AS A MOTHA' TRUCKER, out here! Fa' real, fa' real!!

I don't believe my local Wal Mart carries any cards and haven't for years. Though I try to avoid the place like a plague.

The small target section near the checkout typically is full of Pokémon stuff. The basketball section is fairly tiny and the football is just garbage like hanger fat packs and chronicles blasters. I stopped trying when I realized it is easy to order online + free ship!

To be honest, when a guy has the balls to go ALL-IN on something like this and hits, it makes me super happy. I've been in their shoes and spent $200, $500 on a few cases with the same team and hit absolute crap. I didn't watch the video, but if someone spent big bucks and hit, nice work by them!

I'm not hating that he hit, congrats to them! I'm just saying it was a poor gamble that paid off for him and won't pay off for 9 out of 10 people, he just happened to be the 1 this time.

Statistically it is closer to 4.5% assuming a 400 card run. Heck of a gamble for $3600. And that's also assuming you trust Panini put '20' of each player, but since they aren't stamped we can only hope so. I don't know if they include variants to further expand the odds, I haven't watched any white sparkle pack breaks.

The breakdown is 1 rookie 3 vets per pack. With perfect coalition should be 1 Stroud per 100 packs. 1% shot per pack. I believe there are autos, so technically they could replace the rookie, but I don't think anyone would be complaining about pulling a 1/1. Terrible gamble, but card "collectors"/gamblers don't care and/or are really bad at math.

My bad I did not realize it was 4 I thought it was 3 like basketball.

Yeah worse odds now! I didn't spend the time to Calc poss duplicates also. Defense paradise buy sometimes the little guy wins!

Nice! LaPorta one of the better autos you can hit since none of the top QBs signed. Keep me in mind if you move the Stroud Pink.

Be careful with Prizm No Huddle boxes...

I'll be heading to first show in my area since Prizm has come out, can't wait to see who's been scooping it all up from Walmart/Target

[kluke84]

Retail still live on Walmart for 149. Picked up a box since they are 200 on ebay

Thats what happens when you make the 2 boxes look exactly the same

My 3 Megas from Target absolutely SUCKED..good god I know retail is basically lighting your money on fire but man. First of all I pulled 0 base rookies. None..not even of the scrub practice squaders. I don't know if it's the norm, but all 3 boxes had two worthless inserts at the end of the pack. So really only 20 base cards per box. All vets. Also every box, one of the 3 players I hit silvers, I also hit a pink of that player. So I hit silver/pink of Jeremy Shockey, DK Metcalf, and Chris Olave. The jerseys were OK, but of course they don't really sell well. I hit LaPorta and Bryce Young (along with Tyree Wilson). My best Pink base was Jahmyr Gibbs, best silver Roschon Johnson. I pulled a Portals insert of Anthony Richardson and a Prizmatic of Stroud. I have 3 value packs coming in next week, but after this and Prizm Basketball..it's a reminder of why I've been avoiding opening Prizm retail the last few years

How is that possible? Zero Rc?

Have a 22-23 basketball retail on the way along with the 23 fb retail. Wanted to open side by side to see which works out the best. I'm assuming basketball will be tougher but we will see.

I'm not 100% sure but I'm assuming getting two inserts per pack was an anamoly and it replaced where a base rookie would've gone. Really sucks
