There will be hoards of buyers for Zion base prizm at $50 per. Take a gander at what raw Giannis are going for.

Gary Vee will own 10-15% of the zion prizm base run by season's end.


Mark it.

Every Zion base is 5 more fat packs, and if you luck up and get a big hit that's just easy money.

Sheesh. I love ripping prizm...someone sound the alarm next time they’re in stock. I haven’t caught any yet.

I agree with Ninja on his wholistic point of views.

This product is loaded and the hype is real.

Tons of buyers and sellers & it goes deeper than Zion.

I'm busting 100% of my Walmart take.

FOMO of not having fun and ripping > FOMO of flipping for easy cash.

Still feeling bullish about anything acquired via pre-order at Walmart, regardless of your intentions once you have the product in hand.

That's one more thing getting lost in the craze... if you took Zion out of this class completely, prices obviously aren't nearly as high, but there are several guys in this class that have potential for a hobby blow-up. Ja, RJ, Hunter... all pretty solid "consolation prizes."

So just to follow up on what I think someone else posted earlier in this thread: Do we expect there to be pre-sales on Target.com as well at some point (including a Target exclusive mega box) or will Prizm likely only be available on their web site once Prizm is actually live?

So are people going to be camping out of Wal Mart and Target when this stuff comes out?

I haven’t seen a Target pre-sale before. But there will certainly be Megas and blasters at the least. Target Megas were not as good as Walmart Megas last year.

That'll just mean his collegiate prizm base are currently %500 overvaluated, or perhaps people just don't like the NBA as much as they once did.

So if prizm draft are at $70, that means the first week of prizm Zion will be atleast 200+ right? Or is that too crazy? The base prizm draft Zion’s aren’t making sense to me.

Gloves are off. Laws of physics and basic market fundamentals are moot.

Zion has broken the universe as we know it.

There's going to be increased production, no doubt about it. But there's also going to be a rise in demand and outside investment a magnitude of which the hobby market has never seen before.

I'll be here to stand by those words.


Immaculate Collegiate was pertinent. A lot of people saying no way it could be a profitable product, because 'all immaculate collegiate in previous years was a sinking time bomb.' Turns out that wasn't the case, was it.
I wasn't.

And I'm not talking about retail as a whole. I'm specifically talking about the Mega Boxes. I just don't see how/why they're being referred to as the go to retail SKU.

Yes of course they can be returned, so the potential for loss is negated. No risk in that regard.

But, at least for me, I've found that cellos deliver when opened in large quantities. Megas are like fool's gold that are meant to draw in outside customers at Big Box stores.

Maybe that will all change when product starts getting opened, it could happen, but to blindly follow Megas doesn't make sense to me.

Stupid question here lol. Are there actual autos in this product at all? And if so, will the odds be absolutely awful? Thanks.

So for the Megas we are just assuming that these are the Walmart exclusive ones right with the pink ice packs?

Any chance they don't have that ice pack in them?

I ordered a bunch as these were my favorite Prizm SKU to open last year and love the pink ice refractors!

I see what you mean. Could be. But I still think there's value in almost every retail form this year. So many various hits that will more than pay for the price of a box, including Zion in his purest base form. Pink ice? Moolah. Though from a potential ROI standpoint, I can certainly see the appeal for the smaller, less expensive variants.

There's autos but that's not what's driving prizm.
