That makes me feel sad about my 3 boxes lol

If I see a Justin Patton Rookie in his sweatpants and t shirt I’ll flip out.

Wow you got yours in Canada already? That's pretty awesome... my lone box should be here tomorrow.

At $120, if you get a box like that, it's not a too bad (looks like my typical box break and what I'll end up with lol). But if someone spends $400 for a box like that then ohhhhhhhh man!

$350-400 for that may need to talk someone off the ledge

Exactly. At $120 that's a solid box. At $260+ it's kind rough.

That's about a $25 return...anyone that bought these on Ebay for more than $250 is gonna be filing a return pretty soon. Careful guys, do not sell on Ebay, buyers will be filing for returns as soon as they see the duds being busted. Sell off-line and in person if possible to secure your profits! Don't get caught holding the bags !

What's the email to contact blowout to sell at $250 again?

No fees / returns / questions asked seems like its worth it as opposed to the few extra bucks but the glorious adventure that is selling sealed product on eBay.

People are dumping cash on this like there's a gold in every box lol. Newsflash: I've been in plenty of breaks where no Simmons silver in a whole jumbo case in 16-17, and no KAT silver in 15-16. Also, great odds you get 1 gold or black per case, but it's some vet like Jonas Valanciunas.

The crash is coming and the best time to sell was about two days ago. Make sure you lock in your profits before it's too late guys, and do not sell on Ebay. Trust me, there will be plenty of chargebacks and returns on this. Sell to Blowout if possible or a reputable dealer/collector in person.

I bought mine to personally bust and have fun. At $120/box is like busting any other box out there. Not every box is going to return you huge hits and profits. Some of us are busting for fun. At $120, it was fun for me.

You sound like one of those guys on yahoo finance that just tries to get people to dump their stock then looks stupid in the end.

How butt are those RC autos? It's literally a base card with a sticker on it.

Panini is laughing all the way to the bank.

Many many many people who bought this product did so to flip/make a profit...if you don't think so, then you're just naive...

PS I already sold mine three days ago, I'm just trying to help out the other buyers/investors to make sure they don't sell these on EBAY. Sell them offline to someone you trust or to Blowout to secure your profits.

I agree. I only have 1 box so I am not selling. If I did, I might wait a few to see if BO ups the offer, but I would want to take that over selling it on eBay any day.

Did you sell to Blowout, Facebook, in person? Glad you got your profits and did well.

100% This isn't about "maximizing profit" for a lot of us. It's about a fun break at a reasonable price.

In person to a reputable dealer I've done business with in the past. He's old school so he doesn't go on Blowout to check out breaks fortunately...

If these have Golds, Blacks, and /8 the price will climb. The autos are never a selling point of Prizm.

Sounds like some fear mongering going on in here. However I do agree selling on eBay is a bit risky.

Seems exactly what I'd expect. Lack of color likely because they cranked the pressed, not because it's FOTL. Gold in there means it's got all the bells and whistles. You won't be guaranteed 2x /8 parallels in regular, that's for sure... and those boxes are $260 on presale. Might be smart to hold given the excellent class. Lonzo isn't even a top-10 prospect, so you could also bust, sell him, sit on the rest. Just my opinion.

Haha I wish...I got 10 boxes, I know messier got 13, another guy got 15-16. I doubt anyone was able to nab 24 of them. I've been getting a lot of PMs and it seems like everyone that's been messaging me was able to purchase about 6-10 of them as well.

Gold (and more than likely black) parallels being in this is BIG. I bought mine assuming they wouldn't be and I think a lot of people did too. This will keep FOTL priced above regular hobby at least.
