Hey; every squirrel gets a nut....once in a while!

Certainly,...the "exception", and far from the norm. Congrats on the whopper! That should keep the retail-bankroll goin' for quite a while! Especially,...if/when it comes back from the upgrade shop, as a 10!!


EDIT: And I deserve EVERYTHING that I'm about to get, too!! (Rather; everything I'm NOT about to get!!). I decided to grab 3 more blasters, seeing as the 19 kicks I took in the you-know-whats....wasn't enough for me to...."appreciate"!

Based on comments/results that I've seen, I'd reason to guess that I'm on-par as far as Wemby averages are concerned?

If you're rippin' Prizm blasters....."for the fun of it" and/or to hold you over 'till Hobby drops...c'est la vie. If you're rippin' blasters with the remotest of disillusioned-hopes of hittin' a home run, I pity you.

As is with the overwhelming majority of Poopnini retail, these days, the odds are probably better of your getting hit by a train on the moon,...than they are of even sniffin' 1/10 of your cost/money spent,....relative to your prospective, ROI.
So glad I flipped mine, even though it was a tiny profit.

Ripped 5 more blaster boxes.

Nothing crazy and definitely the usual Panini/Prizm outcome. Still was fun to chase Wemby though.

I opened six over the last couple days. Two Wemby inserts, no regular RC. One numbered (Max Christie ). No top RCs, either. Pretty weak.

Hit a centered green on the 2nd. It's enough to tap out and hold the other 3 for future sell. Should pay for 2 boxes if a 9. That said anyone chasing blasters should assume no value when opened and is no different from other years.id much rather do thar than scratch tickets.

Amazing to think that someone could do repacks of all cards but the 1% and sell the exact same amount of cards and hits for $5 per blaster and that would be about right.

Opened 10 blasters couple nights ago. After watching folks get scorched I almost ended up selling them but thought what the hey.. I hit 2 Wemby bases, 1 silver Brandon Miller and another base, Paul George /99, Cole Anthony /299 and a small name auto. Couple insignificant silver rookies as well. All in all thought it was a great rip.

Actually it was even worse. Sold out at $1218.75 and it was close to impossible to check out the last 15 minutes. High volume errors weren't the isuue. The issues were it would spin non stop after adding to cart, error out, error out on checkout page, whenever you exited the checkout page it would take it out of your cart, spin, and error out. Even if you wanted to buy at these prices, especially the last 2 drops, odds are you couldn't get an order. That's not even taking into account the chances of getting a decline for transactions most likely at or over $15,000. More than usual had to of been presold.

I remember when I bought 2017 Prizm FOTL for like $400 a box. Who is paying $1300 for this draft class with no top autos???

Nothing makes sense anymore. And at this rate I dont think I will ever open a box again.

Yikes, and I was worried about checkout being blocked at the ~$958 level like the NFL was. Moot obviously.

Im not saying the price wasn't ridiculous but compared to everything else football and basketball that has come out recently/current presale prices Prizm football and basketball were by far the best prices. I still don't like Prizm basketball hobby enough to buy it at $975 but look at the other presale prices. I can't believe they didn't have presale on Prizm football hobby at $1200 and Prizm basketball hobby at $1500. At least you know in these products you have a semi realistic chance of pulling a big card. Not something like 2023 Impeccable football where you could easily open 100 boxes and not pull a single card that covers a box. Hell, some of these your odds of coming out ahead on a box are 1-5%.

At least there is a lot more retail still coming where the lack of top autos matters less vs. price, Megas, Cellos, 24 count still to be released.
