I meant any color in general. Assuming no doubles, you'll hit 66% of the total checklist in a single case including inserts, whether it will be a silver, hyper, blue, red, etc. So you should get 66% of the superstars, and 66% of the rookies, etc. That's pretty good odds IMO that you'll hit one of the big draws and even if it's a color prizm they seem to be selling very well right now. So that's why I think it's worth it to take respectable offers because if a single case is going to yield that output, just multiply that by how many cases are ripped and listed this weekend. A lot of singles to go around.

Only time will tell haha. But the red shimmers do look nice in-person (at least, in my opinion). I think $200 is a nice deal on it too.

Also, there's a larger checklist so it's gotta be that much harder to pull....and starting prices for boxes are ridiculously higher so it's that much more expensive to bust....this year's release might be one where prizm prices don't ever return to the likes of previous releases (especially with it being during the midst of the Prizm explosion)

That's the number. I called a few times in a row and eventually someone picked up instead of going to a voicemail.

I got in contact with Kurtis Pence

email: kpence@paniniamerica.net

Hope that can help you. I'm still waiting...

2nd time for this comment. I didn't agree the first time, but held my reply.

The main difference is that they are not in every Prizm release this year, only the FOTL boxes.

Yea, they are basically Prizms version of Bronze Flawless /2. Which have done really well.

The cool thing about the Gala /8 RC is that they were limited to only rookies and it was like finding gold in a box when you actually got one...can’t say the same when you’re guaranteed at least 2 Red shimmers with every FOTL box you open, sometimes more. Not a fan of the fact that look just like the Red Waves too...

I’m hoping and thinking this is the week for me to get some Prizm stuff of my PC guys that’s from previous years. Lots of collectors distracted by this release.

I'm disgusted seeing all the coach cards in this. That's BS. Give me a Robert Sacre over that.

Anyone have any luck getting the charges reversed for orders that didn't go through? Called customer service yesterday, followed up with an e-mail today, but nothing so far.

I got in contact on the phone with a rep that had me email him a screen shot and stuff like that and it’ll get taken care of.

Seems like Silver Prizms are pretty tough pulls so far? Anyone else getting that feeling? This could all change when Hobby/Retail release obviously.

*Another funny fact. Not one Lonzo Ball Silver Prizm has sold on Ebay yet (4-5 listed)

Good luck getting your money back anytime soon. They still owe me 1500 for shorting me a flawless box. I was told that it would take 5 business days for them to look into it but its been 2 weeks now. I can't get anyone to call or email me back.

I can't imagine how much money they have overcharged with these FOTL flubs. It's not a good look ,but I bet it doesn't stop the next online release from selling.

*I got my overcharges back ,but it took some work.

I don't think its too complicated of a fix. You tell them the date you're going to file a dispute with your credit card company and stick to it. Its not hard to prove what you did and didn't receive with the shipping e-mails. I fully plan to do so if I have nothing back by next Friday.

This is why it was crazy to me the amount of people paying through paypal etc. I wouldn't even use a debit card for something like this.

The only problem I have with this is the card I used will not send me a refund. They'll just give me credit for future use. I would rather have the cash in hand.

Take it. Unless you want to gamble a bit and hope he has a big game soon or these are shorter printed than we think. Another one just went up with $499.99 BIN.
