Awesome! Was happy to help contribute. That really sucks about losing an auction like that. Just keep a saved search and hope one day another one pops up.

Buy it up, in two months you’ll be pissed you didn’t. Just look at Prizm NFL taking off, Hoops premium will be right behind it.

There was a lot of every product printed this year and a lot of people are holding but eventually the reserves get deposited and supply drys up and prices inevitably start to rise. I could see HPS settle in around optic as far as pricing goes but it will take some time. Both Mosaic and HPS should be viewed as long term holds and if your looking for a quick flip this probably isn’t it.

I do see the long term value with a really good draft class and in game photography that all the other sets seems to miss on (short of select) couple that with the first release and long term this could be the product of the year for ROI... IMO

matt roberson · 02-04-2021, 06:47 PM

I’ve probably bought way to much at 2-2.5x but will keep buying any “deals” I can until the price starts creeping back up, since I missed the bottom on Prizm FB and have “leftover” money from that and haven’t found anything at MSRP.

Also this stuff is way under priced if you compare it to other retail SKUs... I just sold prestige retail and 21 draft picks blasters for what you can buy this for right now, I cant see a way that doesn’t correct over time. I think there has been some much product dropped in the last month or two people are just fatigued and possibly strapped for cash and unloading as they panic.

Just bid on some more cellos not thinking I would win, and ended up with 5 more for $100 total...couldn’t turn it down at that price. Of everything I’ve bought, I’ve definitely opened way more cellos than the other formats, they’ve been more fun and I’ve pulled lots of god stuff compared to some of the other formats.

Mac302 · 02-04-2021, 10:56 PM

5 cellos for $100 is good....I keep saying I won't buy anymore but I'm keeping my eye still open for deals like you got.

Yea, so far I've ripped maybe 20 or so mega, 40 blaster, 60 hanger and 200 or so cello. Cello definitely seems like the best bang for your buck

Our WM only stocked 4 blasters. It was also crazy because I've never seen so many people in line at our WM..typically at most it's 2-3 people..today at least 10..some of it was waiting for Pokemon stuff but a lot of people thought Optic football was dropping today

GiantPirate · 02-05-2021, 10:43 AM

Just a heads up for those with pulsar sets/singles. The secondary market is really starting to dry up.

Last week had just under 2,000 auctions, now it's under 1,000. Many of my saved searches aren't turning up anything. Certainly a good sign for the numbers to start to climb particularly as the season starts to move along more.

doctorres112 · 02-05-2021, 11:07 AM

Just landed 6 hangers @ $185 via offerup. This continues to be my best source for better prices on the secondary market. My local police station is listed as a "safe place" for meeting, offering 24 hour video surveillance.

bigjbasketball · 02-05-2021, 11:34 AM

Another StockX bid that I forgot about just hit a few minutes ago, haha. 2 more WM megas with a bid of only $258. I was definitely wrong when I said that we hit bottom last week. I’m happy I got them for a good price but now I have no more bids out there, so I won’t accidentally buy more of these. I’m still confident the price will rise, it will probably just take a little bit longer than I originally thought.

Filthy · 02-05-2021, 12:04 PM

Got lucky this morning, took my son to school and happened to be able to hit Target, right when they opened. I grabbed 12 cellos. (Left 4 blasters) <-- For the kids!! First time in over a year, I've seen any basketball on the shelves. Getting ready to open everything, and will post results!

(This was in OKC, OK at Memorial/Penn for the heads up on local folks)

Confident too so congrats on the successful bid. I hope with 20/21 Hoops retail being found on shelves lately that flippers may find it difficult to unload Hoops Premium Stock, panic, coupled with buyer fatigue of 19/20 products then prices drop a little more to persuade me to add more to my stash.

Mac302 · 02-05-2021, 12:43 PM

I'm still checking ebay and I don't see as much on there as I have the past few weeks....and usually by Friday there is a ton of stuff on there and good deals to be found.

I have a bid on Stock X for the Blue Mega box at $125 but haven't had it go off yet so not sure if it will at all.

jjo1776 · 02-05-2021, 01:45 PM

Finally was at a Walmart restock, been almost 6 months since I’ve got a fresh reload, but only got 2 blasters lol, somebody else got 1, so 3 total. The one time I catch the rep and it was a terrible restock for sports.

I guess it depend on your definition of long-term. I bought sealed cello boxes of mosaic for $300 back in May or June... can't recall. They are closer to $800 now in 7-8 months. That's pretty solid. Just wish I would've bought MOAR!!!

Hoops Premium Inaugural Edition baby. Stock up!!

TimBuckTwo · 02-05-2021, 04:26 PM

WM restock. Got 13 Hanger boxes, 1 Playbook hanger and 7 Hidden Fates ETB. A good day.

This is good information, thank you for sharing. I have been processing the 6 sets that I bought to list and man is it time consuming. Just finished scanning in 45 lots and it took about 4 hours.

Yeah I feel you. If I'm honest with myself I wish I would have left them sealed and taken the profit and ran. That said, they are nice cards and I have no doubt I can make good money...but it is very time consuming.

I'm slowly starting to list BIN's. Not going to auction route. Simply listing them at BIN prices I'm happy with but it is very time consuming.

Sure am. Makes both parties more comfortable meeting a police station, in my opinion. Unless the guy stole them originally, that would probably have the opposite effect.

I will probably go the auction route just because with my schedule its a lot easier if they all end at the same time. I was going to leave half mine sealed and piece out the others but when I opened the first one to piece it out the cards were already starting to brick so I decided to just do them all. Worked out cause I found a black zion and blue Ja tribute in one of the packs lol.

No difference between the Teal’s in the mega boxes from what I could tell. Can imagine across the full print run there’s potentially some minor color variation, but don’t expect it’s intentional in any way.

Do you have a couple of pictures to share so we can see the difference you’re experiencing?
