Blasters and 75$ and Mega like 175$?!? You aren’t even guaranteed a hit in there right??
Hobby sold out. Seems like most all of the big names were signing while Panini had the license too, other than maybe the Rock.
There more to this??

1. FOMO
2. The Rock
3. Typical Pump
This followed the same path as Prizm. People pump up the product from outside the sport which makes others outside the sport think there’s money to be made. I actually heard Gabe Steveson was gonna be some huge star so his rookie being in Prizm is big lmao also feels you are slightly under-exaggerating the Rock….that was massive especially on-card. Leaf who had stickers and it was Dwayne Johnson dropped their wrestling hobby release at $500 I believe. If you have a chance to hit someone like the Rock given his value it makes all sealed rise although I’m not sure his autos are even in retail. It would be like if Tom Brady hadn’t signed for anyone in years and it’s his first product back, it’s gonna move the needle a ton. Finally Brobo touched on it but people enjoyed the rip at MSRP anytime that happens you have FOMO and everyone rushes to snatch up what they can, same as a Totally Certified basketball same as a Panini Select WWE mega etc.
