2019-20 Panini Mosaic Retail - Page 178

missedthedrop · 05-24-2020, 02:07 PM

I wish people would just stop paying 2-2.5x MSRP on the bay.
Flippers would start to undercut each other when they dont see quick sales.
Then us common folk can grab some retail at a more affordable price

Well just scored three more trays of Mosaic and in my hurry almost missed the lone mega box.

The score:

1 Mega
20 Hangers
14 Blasters

As I am checking out the lady tells me someone tried to get a $55 Mega box for $2.99.
What a tard. Left all of this I scoped up.

Surprised they stocked them on the weekend. Nice haul!

Sorry for another question, but is $350 a good deal for a sealed box of cellos?

$120 is a good deal.
But buying a sealed box is the only way to go, as loose ones can be searched.

I wouldn't say at the moment, no. I've been buying them around 20 or lower per.

In 2 months? Who knows. Probably yes though.

The problem I have with this mentality though is this isn't a flagship Topps blaster. This is chrome Zion. Obviously msrp is incredible value if you can find it. But I'm not losing any money negotiating bulk pricing on ebay with flippers. That Lebron you were wanting certainly helps but even without that one, I'm not hurting. Especially with this most recent onslaught of flipped product on the Bay.

The crux of negotiated prices with these products with the big retailers, they can't adjust them to their true market value like the hobby product can. As we can see with single sales, this stuff shouldn't be valued at the msrp prices.

Congrats on the find!! Are you ripping or holding? You better not say its sold already!!

psd2k10 · 05-24-2020, 04:03 PM

ok so here us my final haul for this stuff. Spent a total of $2016 over the last 10 days for all of this: 31 hangers, 25 hangers, 22 blasters & 10 megas.

I’ve never ripped basketball so i decided to open one cello (to make it an even 30) and pulled this (and a zion base like this one- didn’t take picture)! Talk about beginners luck!

My plan: grade both zions (since both look flawless) then sell them along with everything else this fall or early next year! We’ll see if this was a smart investment!

Maybe we should try to start hyping wrestling or nascar sealed wax so these flippers will buy up all those and run out of money when clearing the shelves.

Seeing this makes me happy for you and sad for myself. Can't find anything at MSRP, but I suspect I'm in the majority.

In all seriousness, what's the business reason for Panini/Topps to print that stuff? They clearly can't keep up with demand right now on nba/mlb/nfl, why not cut back the other stuff that doesn't sell as well anyway and use those presses to print more of these sports to the moon? They shouldn't care about diluting the pop of prizm silvers, it's clear they still aren't printing enough and would sell out those boxes easier at msrp

Someone should count the number of people who post "well I'm normally not a basketball person but.. " along with a picture of thousands worth in retail.

Yes, clearly everything is healthy. Clearly.

I became a basketball guy before it was cool (translation: about 7 months ago)

Baskartball has always been a blast. Ill never forget as a 16 year old kid buying Skybox basketball at the navy exchange in Norfolk, VA and hitting a Jordan Meltdown. Perhaps my favorite memory of a pull!!

$350 is about as low you might find right now for a sealed box. Sure you can get loose cello packs for cheaper, but for a sealed box $350 is lowest I’ve seen so far. That is if you’re buying it to keep it sealed anyways. If you’re buying to rip, then no

I just picked it up. It is to hold long term as I have some megas, blasters and hangers to rip

So, I’ve been wanting the Zion variation and I finally hit one today. However, there’s a small scratch in it. Is it worth contacting panini for a replacement? Not sure how much a small scratch like this would impact the value or if it’s worth going through Panini CS.

packfan15412 · 05-24-2020, 05:28 PM

they will not replace that...
