Read a tweet Thigh Bull may be available for a draft pick. Would love to see him shore up the Pels back court D.

Appreciate the insight man. I might give it try. I think I’ll be able to sleep better if I know it got another chance. Looking at other pulsars that got a 10, this one’s just as good or better.

Had a similar scenario, it was /5 Prizm. It got a 9 from an Express. I was 100% sure the grader was having a bad day or just didn't spend much time on reviewing it because it's flawless on all aspects.

Sent it back again and the grader called me asking if I cracked it or bought it as raw.

I told him it was cracked for another review and he said, well thanks for letting me know. I thought to myself, there's no way he'll change the grade from 9 to 10.

Came back a 10.

Good luck. It's a beautiful card either way.

Thanks brother. This gives me hope. I’m just wondering if it’s even worth cracking or just be honest for a review. I’m definitely gunna do it now, just gotta think of the best way to go about it.

Really appreciate you guys helping me out.

Find it interesting browsing Ebay for the Net Marvels inserts and it's telling where the Zion press proof in particular are at with the players available. Zion is right up there already ahead of some big names. Not quite at Luka level and definitely not Lebron but he's up there.

Zion inserts this year have good potential.

I’m putting together the whole Tribute set and just picked up the Zion for $44, which seemed like a good deal to me. It’s got a great photo - same one they used for One and One I believe. And those Tributes are only 1-2 per hobby box, so they’re not super easy to pull. Compare to Net Marvels - those are like 10 per box in Donruss hobby.

Gonna bite the bullet and now that cards are climbing again, sell off all my lower end Zion's to fund on nice card to just sit on moving forward. Only issue is, I can't make up my mind on which one to grab.

Another Zion pick up. Have read these are SP but have no idea. I like the colors though with the red jersey

Awesome card! Elite was one of the better sets this year and I still think it’s underrated. I think someone did the math on these red parallels and the print run was somewhere between 100-150, but I can’t remember exactly. I pulled the Zion Aspirations /99 from a box of Elite I ripped and it’s been at PSA since August. That one also has red accents for a nice jersey color match.

I've been thinking about how his normal game would translate to the All Star Game. I'm guessing his bully ball style isn't appreciated in the ASG, but also with people not playing defense, he might just get to destroy the backboard with a bunch of awesome dunks at will. Or maybe he'll drain 10 3-pointers in a row just to prove he can shoot?

I'll be watching. This is good exposure for him, for sure.

ASG defense = no one getting in his way. He's gonna have his own in-game dunk contest and he's gonna win.

Nice Alley oop to start the game but looked a little nervous on a few missed dunks after that.

Yeah he’s definitely nervous, you could tell he looked a little rattled even when they introduced the starting lineup.
