This is just the first of many maildays. I have a very large shipment of Prizms coming from COMC
I've done a lot of buying and selling of high-end cards but have found very little fun in collecting those. I've taken a lot of big losses in the past year and now I'm looking to 'enjoy' the hobby, so I'm taking a much less expensive route.
My first Prizm purchase was an Andrew Wiggins Prizm Blue Mojo that I was lucky enough to snag for a crazy low price of $3.99. A week later I found a Prizm Silver of Wiggins for $4.99
I've been hooked ever since. Here's a pic of what I've picked up in the last week or so, all for very reasonable prices.

great idea, its cool getting all the colors & the cards look nice. Sometimes you could get them for pretty low compared to what they could possibly sell for in the future

Smart idea. I picked up a Myles Turner Prizm Prizms the other day for $4.69 dlvd. To me, the Prizm "Prizms" parallel is this generation's Topps Chrome Refractor.

Here's everything together now. I am currently trying to track down some rarer versions, which are apparently very tough to come by.

Where are you guys getting this??? I've picked up a couple of cheap numbered ones on COMC of guys who have some potential (Gobert, Noel, Exum) but nothing as cheap as that. Great deals guys.
Also, if looking for autos, I would suggest going for the Blue ones from Walmart from 2013-14. Beautiful cards and very underrated card IMO.

Easiest is to buy these in lots on Ebay. You may end up with a few cards you don't want, but save a ton on shipping.

I actually started to do the same in picking up rookie prizms. I have always liked the silver prizm rcs, since they remind me so much old topps chrome refractors. I just wished Panini would limit the variations of colors and keep them to a minimum of maybe 3 - 4 colors. Imo, they just went overboard following the first year of production.
Op, great to see you enjoying the hobby again. Good luck in your endeavor!

I got the Turner a few days ago on ebay in a straight up auction.

Agreed. I was all about trying to collect a lot of different colors, but I think I'm just going to stick to the Prizms parallel.

Do an ebay search of your guys and then follow those. I look at my followed searches daily.

Yep, such an easy way to flip cards you might not want too. Just collect a lot and then post them cheap.
