Yea ball will be a huge draw and then there are like any of about 10 players who could go up in value.

What kind of games are they playing here?

Pretty big ones and if buyers aren't educated and fall into the trap each time they do this, expect them to be bigger, worse and more expensive. There couldn't be a better year to play games with coming off that horrible class last year.

They have so much time til Hoops is released for 17-18 stuff. it will be back at like $184.95 per box in a week or 2.

Wow

I ve seen this before
Won't fall into the trap
You guys know this too

Low end Kevin Durant RC auto can be had for much less than Lonzo ball. Think about that .
Lonzo ceiling is Jason Kidd and I doubt he s as good as Jason Kidd

Not a trap. It's awesome for sellers. Gotta strike while the iron is hot!

WalterAZ31 · 09-06-2017, 09:11 PM

i dont know about anyone else, but even though its labeled a "Draft Picks" product, i like the fact that the non rookies and current stars are in their NBA jerseys and NOT college

only the rookie autos and inserts are obviously in their college unis

LeonfromNC · 09-07-2017, 09:25 AM

cases/boxes back up!

$2200 for case or $190/box

how much higher can this stuff go? or does it level out here?

pent up buying demand for next years rookie class. but this product is inferior to those that will be launched in next few months.

Damn that was $5 per box over my prediction.

Consider this though guys. My LCS has not even preordered Hoops. So the next basketball product to come out will be another 16-17 product on the 20th.

The only way to get autos of these guys over the next let's say Nov. 8th. And the season starts mid October this year. So my free advice to you guys who make big pulls or even box/case flippers is that there is nowhere to go but up. Panini knows it, so if you are paying for it, make the best use of your $. Unless you are busting in hopes of a PC card, be careful and holding actually makes sense for once.

Retail blasters of this stuff is going to go bonkers too.

Contender is one of the lowest of low end products

If it's anything like baseball was this year, then getting in at early prices will literally always be a good move.

gottagitdemjs · 09-07-2017, 11:29 AM

Prizm is going to be $150/box. I can already see it coming.

Didn't College NT or College Black Gold come out before Hoops last year? I feel like there was another College Set that came out before.

Not right now, but at the time of release it was a $300 - $400 card.

And yet it costs over $150 a box and has six autos, and the Cracked Ice autos are held in high regard as a player's first rare auto RC year after year. Doesn't sound that low to me. I would definitely rather buy Contenders than toss away money on most of those high-end products.

I'd bet its at $300 or more from BO by release date. This is assuming jumbos only again.

If I was laying money I'd put the line at $300.50 for the O/U.

Lonzo Silvers are going to be $400 out the gate.
