Agreed. That and the 2018 Donruss Optic are all great.

when should we see retail hit the shelves?

I havent even tried to look for retail Basketball since last Summer. Hoping I get lucky.

Yeah, the story/parallel is cool.

If the rookie class really doesn't yield any superstars, in 15 years, ppl might still buy these boxes for this card. Haha

There will be zero difficulty moving this stuff. Most flippers will have this stuff sold before they leave the store.

Not at $200 a blaster like some delusional folk on here.

Hoops blasters this year were 125+ the first week or so..... so yes, prizm will be at least 200.

[jubei777]

BO and A competitor dropped hobby prices down a few hundred already

[Mac302]

The people that pay $200 per blaster should be committed to a psych ward

$200/blaster during the first wave would not shock me at all. Especially as retail breaks are now a thing.

- grading singles is still going to be a big deal and a huge moneymaker even with inflated grading costs.

LOL. No offense, as you're detached from reading comprehension. I was replying to a post that said retail will not be desirable. And I literally said he was wrong. Silvers are the reason retail sells well. Which is what i posted.

People are insane listing Prizm hangers at $150-200. Sorry but it is not 19-20 draft class.

You can buy 19-20 Mosaic Hangers at $100 a piece. Which in the long run is the better investment.

Sort of makes 19 Hoops Premium Hangers @ $35 seem like a deal

Why are they insane for listing at that? Look at Ebay sales, people are buying at that price.

It was joyous to find Prizm in the wild, those days are far and few in-between

They are doing 2 day delivery today. Which means you get the boxes on Thursday.

I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a lot of people who follow the rules and are going to get Hobby or Retail tomorrow.

Winner!!!
easily best current value
Got a few hundred stashed ( I’m still buying more) .....

I sold my 50 boxes 96-97 topps chrome bkb for a quick flip back in the day
Hit some singles and hit some homeruns
The current prices on them

[ZionCards]

That is a very cool card. Good thing Panini probably printed truckloads of them.

[slogue2]

That LeBron card is amazing. Very cool photo choice.

i would probably call it quits on buying more if i had 200 lol. i have 150 but no way i would buy more at anything other than retail.

Opening prizm retail is pretty brutal. At the time, I had no competition for cards at target and walmart. I was able to open like 6k worth of 2019-20 prizm. I dont even think I broke even lol. It was pretty bad, but was fun. I'm sure I'm up now cause pricing of everything now is not logical right now lol. I didnt pull the Zion silver that everyone was after. I ended up buying it for 400 on Ebay. I didnt pull that many Zion base either. Think i pulled like 5 of them. Anyway, you're better off just buying the damn card

Nah.... I’ve been around long enough to see that this is an absolute homerun for $30-$35 per hanger long-term even with the large production numbers. For me long-term means evaluating them again in three or four years down the road.
I’ll keep buying these over any 20-21 bkb offering at current prices (Have 140 at msrp and another 85 average cost $33)
Whatever decision people make wish them the best of luck and profits.

[yiguiri2002]

Hangers are already at a little over 150 on eBay.

I think with a cold market, there could be some good buying opportunities sooner than expected.

[Somuchjunkwax]

My two hobby box pre-sales shipped today. Will likely have the same day FOTL gets delivered. Oh Panini!

[tommyboiazn23]

Panini posted posted price on hobby. $1,999.95

[bigjbasketball]

I literally bought into a PYT break for the Lakers after seeing the LeBron photo. Most of the big breakers look like they’ve sold out most, if not all, of their Lakers spots so far.
