Optic Megas in the Wild

williemayshayes · 11-21-2019, 10:44 AM

Saw 4 Optic Megas in the Wild last night. Didn't grab them but this Luka and Trae to some extent streak is nuts.

Is grabbing them at $38 per really going to net much on the secondary? I see they sell around $50 per but with fees and shipping it's not a great net.

Anyone see these pushing $100 per this season?

I definitely think it's worth buying at that price. I'm sure that you wouldn't even have to wait to find a buyer for 3 of them at $180... after fees you'd net your money back, and have one free one to rip!

Target or Walmart? Weren't the Target ones the flash set and like, 2 packs?

Walmart.

I've seen online that there are two versions.

Buy and rip.

18-19 Optic Megas? If so that was a NO Brainer

IndySportsCards · 11-21-2019, 11:11 AM

Buy them all, open them, dump into bath tub. Bathe in Optic Glory.

beavers · 11-21-2019, 01:19 PM

This just caused me to drive to my wal mart. Still lots of Prizm blasters and pink packs but no Optic.

I found two of them at Walmart last week but left them.

I'm pretty sure i have Optizm. Self diagnosed.

Spacemanspif · 11-22-2019, 12:18 AM

Updates on wax:

42ct mega sold for $65
58ct mega (rookie set) sold for $75
Blaster case sold for $850 ($42.5 each)

That’s like double SRP for the mega and blasters, for the tiny chance of pulling Luka ��

Grab ‘em if you see ‘em

Prizm in the wild - crazy

tommyfro21 · 11-22-2019, 08:48 AM

There has been an Optic blaster sitting at my Walmart for weeks and I always stare at and walk away. Picking it up today after seeing the price increase. I’ll just place it on a shelf and wait. The way Luka is playing can’t help but make it increase.

I would say the optic mega with the 50 shock rookies is now a good buy... they are $50 but the Luka is now $50 on ebay and the Trae is $10. Plus you get 2 packs with the slim chance of pulling something. You break even or somehow get lucky and pull a luka worth grading... the 3 of mine have all had white edges, all the same - bak bottom edge.

Harper · 11-22-2019, 11:55 AM

I bought a 7 pack box of 19-20 college prizm and hit 2 Zion prizms. Are these cards that overproduced or did I do well?

byronscott4ever · 11-22-2019, 11:57 AM

I recall seeing an Optic WM mega a few weeks ago. I’m sure it’ll be gone if I check but there’s only one way to find out right?

Damn, Luka Optic Shocks are $50 per?! I barely sold 5 at like $10-12 per months ago.

Hahaha what a time

crazy4kinsler · 11-22-2019, 12:32 PM

Found 4 Optic Megas at Walmart this week. Passed on them at the time. Was curious if they're a good buy. I don't collect basketball, but I'm a Mavs/Luka fan. So I'd strictly be opening them for Luka.

That in mind, good buy or not?

Yes, if you can find them at MSRP, very good buy at this point.

crazy4kinsler · 11-22-2019, 12:53 PM

Not sure what SRP is on these, but they're $38 at Walmart here locally.

The target Megas were readily available a couple weeks ago but definitely did not seem worth it at the time.

Man I can’t believe these things are still out there. I’d say buy them if they’re still available, then flip for $ to just buy the Luka. You can probably make $20 profit off each box, with $80 you can get yourself an optic RR and maybe something else
