Very classy move. I tip my hat to you. Someday I will do the same.

I don't think I even had a mental category for quick-flipping sealed wax until 19-20 Prizm. Before then I think I've only sold sealed wax once in my life, and it was a very different circumstance.

I'm trying to maintain a "to each his own" mentality, but the hobby just keeping marching down a road toward not even being about cards anymore.

Salute to the OGs who used to tear everything, including their hands to shreds busting those singular 97-98 chrome basketball plastic hanger packs!!!

i swear my guidance counselor thought I had “issues” in middle school!!!

I know there are people that would disagree, but if someone was there waiting with me and I got there first I would split with them. There is no point in taking it all in there face and possibly causing a bigger scene needed over basketball cards, it makes nobody look good.

Megas megas megas LOADED. Opened one of mine got prizm Ja nba debut Zion base, prizm Luka prizm Giannis jam masters. 2 weeks ago and last week I sold some mosaic 10-20 percent of my stash to offset some of the money spent. This weeks haul I’m selling zero of it. MEGAS!!! > cellos > hangers> blasters.

I don't do drugs. Food on the table? Yah, credit cards have got to get paid somehow. Well, I've got school loans, business loans, house mortgage, etc. I have not had a paycheck in 2 months. And there is no end in sight. I am a small business owner getting CRUSHED with having to close my doors and lay off 8 employees. I NEED TO WORK!

I am just saying the amount of pressure you are going to see chasing these cards is insane! I have 2 boys and we love to open cards, but we opened 2 blasters and 1 Mega and that's it. The rest is going for a quick flip on the bay and I am constantly searching for more along with a ton of other things. Just a report from the field from what I am doing.

My guy, you need to PM me then. I can help guide you to the stimulus money that you deserve then. As a business owner you should have gotten 8k at the minimum, plus another amount depending on your payroll for 2.5 months and rent and utilities.

I'm Not looking for anything in return, just offering to help if you want

I hear ya, the community has certainly gotten bigger since the good old days, filled with all new kinds of people, making it harder to have confidence that you’re gonna be able to snag the newest products. Yes, there are some elements that we wish would just go somewhere else, but I choose to look at things half full. For every bad seed, there’s going to be countless more who are either kindling, or rekindling (you can count me in to the latter group) their love for basketball cards. Sure, I’m going to flip some, but I’m gonna rip too.

[TimBuckTwo]

None today.

Gonna take a small road trip tomorrow.

Hopefully it is worth the $20 tank of gas.

Good perspective. I'm actually completely new to basketball cards. Luka brought me in, and Zion hooked me.

I hope we get a reset next year. I'd love to buy up 20-21 Prizm even with a crappy draft class.

Good luck on the hunt!

Unfortunately, while it may not be priced like 2019-2020, I think going forward the high price tags will remain. As long as the silvers of Lebron and the likes are popular and the inserts look good a poor rookie class may not help reduce the cost too much. This applies for all products across the board.

Panini isn's as stupid as some think. If we have the weakest class of all time they will go all out on the insert content.

As crazy as basketball cards are...the price has to come down with a weak class. "Would would think..." lol

It will be the same. As. It. Always. Was.

Updates on the day for Northern California (sac region). No sign of vendors at Target yet other than a few that stocked on Thursday in Sacramento. Every Walmart with the exception of one which will be a #@#@#@#@ show when it arrives lol is sold out, however there will be one restock the following week. Hopefully this helps, and GL all.

Yeah still nothing in my neck of the woods

Living in rural Mississippi, I've been able to find a decent amount of Mosaic (and other hot products) on the shelf. Mosaic mega boxes are possibly the only retail product I'd pay significantly over MSRP for. Maybe I've just been lucky in my boxes, but those things are ridiculous.

[bradley9999]

5 blasters........1 base Zion got an auto as the very first card, out of the very first pack, of the first box, thought it was gonna be a good break.
