yep and it's not just the picture. they've literally described a hybrid box (i think) for twenty bucks.
Just got a return request for a $15 sale on eBay saying the card had a bent corner. It was delivered on May 14. Left me a bad review. I replied to the review and said that he requested a refund over 50 days after receiving the item and that everyone should ban him from purchasing anything. Less than a minute later he retracted his negative review
Lucky Envelope is a parallel that they had last year that only comes in the Asia-exclusive TMall boxes. Same with the new Prizm Blue Waves that are hitting ebay right now and various Gold Waves in Optic/Mosaic. As you can guess, their resale value isn't great.
It's pointless to rip anything from Panini priced over $100. Their QC is awful so even if you hit something, it's probably going to have print lines, be way off center or not have the advertised amount of autographs or parallels advertised on the box. The sooner that the NBA and NFL give a license to Topps, the better.
I hate to say it but this isn't going to happen. Panini has a monopoly and I don't see it changing anytime soon. They're making it so damn hard to complete rainbows with the million parallels that they print. Currently in the process of putting together a KJ Hamler Select rainbow set and, holy shit, I bit off more than I can chew. Concourse, Premier, Club (new), and Field Levels + Die-Cuts of all parallels now.
I’ve reached a slight impasse in my one and only rainbow chase I can’t find a red wave for the life of me
Thanks man. Im hoping I can keep finding more/prices drop because I can’t keep buying them at 45 per lol
Ton of rookies Juan Brunetta Marcos Andre Eddie Salcedo Youssef En-Nesyri Iza Carcelen Karlan Grant Rayan Ait-Nouri Andrey Galabinov Kalvin Phillips Grady Diangana Vladimir Coufal Loren Moron (personal favorite) Fidel I did buy one of the Select blasters. No rookies but I did pull an Ohtani silver and scope parallels
I'm half heartedly trying to put together a rainbow of 20-21 Prizm soccer Alisson. So many parallels. Also, stepped into a Wal-greens last night, and found a football repack. Pulled a Select premiere purple die cut Jordan Love. Was surprised how little they go for. In conclusion, I still dislike Select.
Speaking of frustrating rainbow sets. I'm about 40% through the 2020 topps chrome Acuna set. All graded PSA 10's except for one 9 that happens to be the top pop. I refuse to add the Ben Baller ones that have the same picture though Spoiler
Just got the cancellation email from Target on the Prizm Draft boxes that I ordered like 3 days ago. What a clusterfuck
Had to go to Walgreens today and picked up an NFL Prime Pack and box of Collectors Edge, which is just a bunch of BS cards thrown together with a Notre Dame pack. Prime Pack had a pack of 2020 Select Prizm and a 2018 Donruss pack. Got a Lamar Jackson Rated Rookie out of the Donruss and TUA and Hurts die cuts from the pack of Selects. Not bad for $8.99.
New in the 2021 Stadium Club. I appreciate Topps making my day. You know they wouldn't spell Griffey wrong. I can't believe Derek signed them.
