I'm tempted with 2020 Heritage High Number, was that as horrible of a product I'm thinking of?

Still laughing at the #@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@ football prices. $1200 for a box of 2019 Prizm? lmao

Unless Robert wins the triple crown next year or something, yeah pretty bad.

2020 HHN was really bad. Only RC worth something is Robert and a lot of the cards were damaged out of packs.

Black Friday wave indeed - as in wave goodbye to any decent deals for Black Friday.

2012 prestige is a terrible product. Double rookie class. I used to pass on it at $40 a box.

It's not a bad deal at all when just comparing to current market price (looks like these generally go for between $40 and $60 on eBay). I thought about picking these up but went for the 2019 Holiday megas when they had those for only $30 as I thought that was a better deal. That said, I don't think 2020 Chrome Update was generally viewed as a great release so not sure on LT outlook.

These do go for around $600 or so on eBay just looking at recent completed auctions so it's a decent deal when looking at current pricing. I guess double-rookie class is a double-edged sword: less likely to hit a given rookie but expanded pool of players you can possibly hit. These should have AD, Kawhi, and Kyrie rookies I believe.

Dang they raised the price $20 on the 2019 holiday 10 pack megas. That was a good deal! I can't stand the holiday cards, but still a bunch of topp RCs.

Yep, I'd say it was a great deal even. I wonder if they made a mistake on the initial pricing. I've never seen them raise the price on an item during the sale period. Can't go wrong with a shot at Tatis and Vladdy RCs well below current market.

They constantly raise the prices during the sale period, it's all part of their game. Usually they do it after they sell out of the initial allotment and restock.

It’s crazy that wax is still this high

People get offended when I say this. not sure why

But the market has completely crashed from last January to March

I think fanatics made a terrible mistake

I think it gets softer and softer over next couple years

boxbuster7 · 11-03-2021, 07:12 PM

^Agree. The prices for MLB singles really fell over the course of the season.. NBA has stagnated leading up to the 3rd season in 18 months. And certain NFL players are alright.

notoriousrmb · 11-03-2021, 07:15 PM

Why is this thread even a thing?

There are no deals to be had, but some will sit here and convince themselves a $30 box priced at $150 with $20 off is "kinda a good deal".

Ok, I just didn't recall that from prior sales. I have definitely seen that happen outside of sales when things go OOS and come back in. That is certainly common.

Eh there aren't any true rc's worth chasing in this I believe? Bunch of rookie debut and like Grisham and Arozarena in their Padres/Rays jerseys respectively

Deal already sold out. I'm not surprised since it was a decent discount to current market price. Be interesting to see if it comes back at a higher price.

Zauron · 11-03-2021, 08:11 PM

2020 Chrome Update is garbage, godspeed for people buying that crap.

2020 Update, and I guess Heritage High are garbage.

yeah. Arozarena is the only intriguing RC in that, and then it's like $30 for what exactly?

ryknow216 · 11-04-2021, 03:14 AM

Remember when the deals were actually deals? This hobby has just turned into a bad joke.. BO actually included the Wrestling Cubes in their Black Friday deals.. what the actual Fu.....

That is always my issue with opening older product.... even just 2020 is hard to move the base cards unless you throw in the hot rookies for cheaper.

This is a solid box at $400, imo the floor price is realised. I bought 4.

Look at the prices the rookies get. Look at the auto prices. Easy pass.
