Competing with Bowman University Inception for some of the most forgettable cards in recent memory.

$850 on the sticker at my LCS, just crazy - I'm sure they'll sell them too (only 3 were left from the case)

That’s the thing it’s not all gambling I mean group breaking

I go to lcs and I see these poor saps opening absolute prizm and optic for 800-1000 dollars

It is so incredibly awkward to watch these in store breaks

People losing 800 dollars in 5 minutes

Crazy that we have so many people on this thread calling the product terrible while at the same time jumping to buy them at 500+

Both can exist at the same time. The market is the market regardless to any of our opinions about the product. The overall market is heavily skewed towards breaking, like it or not. So the real value is what they are able to get. With that being said, though, I pulled up one earlier today and the breaker got hammered on his sales. I haven't had a chance to watch any prime time breaks to see if they are better or not. This one jumped hard and fast, and I expect a strong pull back with stagnation. Then it will crawl back upwards slower due to the chase cards.

Some of the box flipper bois are still alive, albeit barely.

While I'm really not that bummed I got skunked based on aesthetics of these cards, I am very concerned going forward on trying to procure a product I actually want to rip. 0-10 on recent EQL, and it's getting really tough to land anything desirable from Topps website from a regular drop. At least I got 1 hobby of chrome NBA at MSRP.........I may be exiting the hobby after only being back about 3-4 years now, and not by choice.....

Seems like most are buying just to flip

This is exactly what fanatics want. Make it that hard you either leave or hit the breaks because its the only option (other than buying singles)

Oof. Sorry to hear.

I love the look of the oil spills. A handful of others look nice as well.

I am just gonna stick to singles on this one. I could care less for the autos. Ill pick up some more limited offerings of players I like though.

Glad I have hit a few early BIN's while some were undervalued.
