If only! No megas of either but I'll take whatever retail I can get at this point. Didn't have to split but the rep puts out baseball and basketball in increments while he is stocking so people don't take it all. I could grab two of each sku. I had some shopping to do so circled back around to the cards when I was done and grabbed what was left.

I'm a weak man and ended up busting all the chronicles. Fun and solid break, will do a break down of chrome cards in each sku later. Best pull AD silver prizm.

Sounds like the rumors of limited restocks might be true.

These are the Zion and Ja colors, silver/bronze chrome cards, Prizm update (have misplaced 1 Kawhi and 1 Davis), and autos I’ve pulled in approximately $950 in retail. I have pulled over 60 Zion and 50 Ja though.

I also opened one hobby box and got 4 Zions, including a base Flux and Hometown Heroes Blue /99.

Good perspective. Im going to open a blaster. wish me luck lol

Wow

The 10 blasters I pre ordered at 25 just shipped

You must've ordered from the same place as me as I just got my shipping notification. Ordered 10 at $21.99. They had about 30 available, should've just took it all.

Millenials/Gen-Z don't really know what true "friends" are. They meet someone once and if they follow each other back on instagram or whatever social media platform they use these days, then they consider each other friends

First store I went to on Friday never got Chronicles. Granted I wasted more gas to drive around and still get nothing but had I stood there I would have been standing there from 10:30 am till who knows when to end up with nothing.

[cowboyzqna]

Both my local stores had empty chronic displays... so it's nice to know that someone got some.


Fun product. Singles are affordable for now.

I’m talking fully stocked to the point there was no room left for any sports cards

2/3 of them got chronicles last week

A 4th one wasn’t stocked but there was a sign implying they don’t carry sports cards anymore and don’t know when the vendor comes to stock trading cards. This one was stocked with a bunch of chrome and some prestige last week

Anybody experiencing something similar?

Yes the vendor walks in and drops the sports cards in the person's cart

Agreed. I'm going after the chrome stuff but every now and then people are selling Ja for $5-$7 and I'm basically just buying because why not at that price. Whether you're going for the low-end paper or the higher end numbered and chrome parallels, it's all a big buyer's market right now. Even wax is cheap in my mind when it's going for about half to a third a price of equivalent mosaic. Chronicles is emptying my wallet

[PSA2Pac]

Buyers market all day.

Sitting on the wax I got and grabbing a ton of singles.

I 100% believe that about the Walmart’s around me (already know the mjh vendor keeps at least half the basketball for herself because I’ve seen it myself)

but the excell vendors aren’t like that here. I’d think it’s the target employees/managers before questioning the vendors

Your son might not be able to walk into a store and buy cards like you did as a kid, but you couldn’t dance for 12 seconds to WAP on Tik Tok as a kid and he definitely can. I guess you can too as an adult if you’re inclined to.

The situation around supply and demand will sort itself out. I don’t doubt for one minute that production is going to go up next year.

Westside. Late thirties early forties with some sick lettuce. No nonsense type of guy.

This is a 17/18. Probably worth grading before you sell.
