remaining 2018-19 basketball products

[chrisfaceoff]

the past 2 years, I have been sprinkling in some basketball boxes in between football releases, and I've been really enjoying it this year while pulling a few decent cards.

Excluding high end releases, what do you think are some affordable releases coming out that have a pretty decent following. Obviously I know Prizm was a big(biggest?) one, but i'm hoping to maybe take a stab at a few others. Looking for anything that comes in under $200/box.

Thanks in advance

Optic, Revolution, and Select. This will be at minimum the third year for one of these releases, and all have a decently strong following.

Select is my favorite. Much nicer looking than Prizm imo. Love the tie-dye cards. Seems to be more nice vet autos in it as well.

I love Select and Optic for football.

Revolution is the cheap one, right? I remember this from yest year I think. No guarantee auto though if I remember right

Revolution is less expensive per box, but you only get 8 packs with 5 cards per pack, so the cost per card is higher. Revolution has less “fluff” IMO... Smaller base set, fewer parallels. If you’re into colored parallels, Select and Optic are better choices.

Contenders. A Luka on-card Cracked Ice or Premium Prizm Gold in his Mavs jersey :eek:

I'd be more interested in what would have the best flipping potential/re-sale value due to a bigger following.

The idea of contenders is nice, but probably less overall considering its only a few autos per box, and no possibility of more than 1 parallel to help offset some terrible autos.

So I guess the tl;dr is im looking for the most bang for my buck with what set has a better following people will be after the cards from.

Odds are you’ll lose by opening sealed boxes. If profit is your biggest concern, trying to find Prizm retail at close to MSRP is your best bet. After Prizm, there’s a big drop off in popularity, and the three I mentioned all seem to be in that second tier, but are not really profitable at MSRP unless you get lucky.

Yea, I knew no matter what that luck would need to be on my side haha.

Thank you for the help!
