Soooo.....

You are looking for advise from a bunch of degenerate gamblers, many of which do not have 2 nickels to rub together?

For once, the “advise” he’s getting is correct. Either way he comes out ahead.

Dang, I tried to warn you.

$1350 became $350 fast.

On the bright side, you turned the Draymond Green auto into that. But you could've had an additional ~$1000 in PC cards/wax.

I know, I know.
If I had sold it, there would've been a 1/1 Luka in there I'm sure 😜. I do have a couple cards I pulled recently which I'll be selling for $1500-2K range, so that's another reason why decided to just try it out. I never get a chance to open any high end basketball, because of the insane prices...so had to go for it

I doubt that will fetch 350 BUT the enjoyment in the suspense in opening it is worth it imo - congrats man!

Actually, this is one of last year's with game worn and player with rather than random player relic
I'm in talks with a hardcore Rockets collector, and he's actually went higher than $350. Just depends on how lottery works tonight, lol.

It's definitely worth more than $100, not 1000 and not 800, but more than $100.

Eh, not so painful, definitely worth more than what the green RC auto would've been.

Wow, yes I hope I find someone willing to buy it. He has deep collectors, it's just hard to find them

One of the greatest players of all time and some of you are saying "ouch" and "sorry for your luck." Another reason why this hobby is dumb. It's a great card.

Yeah I agree, I'd be very happy with this.

I went through the same thing with my White Box I got several months back, contemplating if I should rip mine or sell. Went through the eBay sold to get an idea of the least desirable White Box pull for a value estimate for the "floor" and decided it was worth the risk to open.

And it was, lol.

Yes. Look I had an offer for 1K on the box. It would've been a nice extra 1K for PC. I decided to open because as others said, it was a win win since it was a free box. I'm content with the Hakeem 1/1. Actually JUST sold it. A few mins ago to a collector for $400. So, I still see it as a win.
I don't collect much basketball otherwise I would've love to keep it

Nothing ever wrong with opening a box, EVER.

All the told you so’s are just jealous, that is all.

Enjoy your hobby experience without needing to be a penny pincher.

Thank you for sharing, the experience of opening wax is a privilege.

You will get a lot more than $350 for that dream.

I'm thinking more like double that. Perhaps close to 4 digits if you find the absolute right buyer.


$999 obo.
