People thinking Zions are tough to hit because they didn't hit any in $500 worth need to realize that $500 worth is actually a very small sample size for retail. Rip 3 or 4 cases of cellos and see what the counts look like.
So do you feel like you got a decent return?

Busted 5 Blasters, 1 Target Mega, 1 Wal-Mart Mega, 6 Hangers, 5 Cellos -- Approximately $350.

Zion - 1 Base, 1 Variation, 1 Pink Ice
Ja - 0 Base, 1 Silver, 1 Orange Ice
RJ - 0 Base, 1 Green, 1 Variation

Yeah Prizm has been great for me so far! Makes up a lot for last year but sure I'll bust enough Retail for the odds to catch up eventually.

so far this year i have opened
10 wal mart megas
30 cello fat packs
32 hangers

here is my break down

zion base - 1
zion silver - 0
zion rwb - 0
zion pink ice - 0
zion green - 0
and the list goes on i hit 1 zion base card thru all that and 2 emergent and 1 instant impact.
i hit 1 ja morant base and nothing else and hit ZERO rj barrett base but did hit 1 silver and 1 pink ice.
but i got 6-9 of lots of other rookies no one wants.
pretty sad
The top rookies are not SP.

LOL. Just read this. Yeah the perm wouldve tilted me for sure. I actually pulled a silver of his also. Hes pretty good from the couple games Ive seen though. Easy $6.99 per right there.

Oh yeah, the grass certainly is greener on the other side. His stuff sells halfway decently. Unfortunately he was probably the best silver pulled out of 12 megas. Just having no dice on any big cards of the top 4. Luck of the draw though, it's a fun break regardless!

Reading box breaks it’s crazy the guys able to hit 2x silver Zions. I’d settle for one lol.

So far busted:
12 Target Mega
12 Walmart Mega
14 Hanger
8 Blaster

My 21 Rookie Silvers, in all their glory:
Admiral Schofield x2
Bruno Fernando
Cody Martin
Daniel Gafford
Darius Bazley
Dylan Windler
Goga Bitadze
Ignas Brazdeikis
Jaylen Hands x2
Jordan Poole
Justin James
Keldon Johnson
Luka Samanic
Matisse Thybulle
Mfiondu Kabengele x2
Nassir Little
Qunndary Weatherspoon
Romeo Langford

YOWZA, not a single lottery pick! With that said, there are 53 rookies and not pulling a Zion or Ja is probably a more likely scenario than actually pulling one. I pulled a Zion (non silver) Auto which sold tonight so it helped offset most of the garbage above.

Out of 187 base rookies I've hit 4 Zion, 4 Ja, 0 Barrett, which is right around my expected return. 10 Hoobys on the way this week, and 3 real Hobbys, along with some 2018 stuff I got from BF. Should be another fun weekend!

Did 20 Target blasters today .... here is the meat

- (2) Base Zion
- (2) Base RJ
- (1) Base Morant
- (1) Purple Wave Morant (Haven’t heard much about this variant)

I hit 2 Green Pulsar /25 of some vets and a handful of Silver Rc’s

I’m very happy with the Morant but they seem to be scarce on eBay so I’ll probably grade and hold for now until I get more info on it

Merry Prizmas Eve! Feels like retail dropped weeks ago. Now we can get to the real Prizm.

Same thing happened to me in a hanger. Backwards card in the pack, and I looked from the other side and saw the cracked Orange Ice, which meant that it wasn’t a RC variation. And it wasn’t a thick card so it wasn’t a relic. What else was left but an auto? Peeked on the back and saw the Pelicans logo. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Flipped the card over and...same Sideshow Bob Afro staring me in the face. It was the only auto I pulled so I was still happy, but obviously it was a huge letdown.

I don’t think people are concerned with what Zion stuff will sell for down the road - most are likely selling now.

So, with retail being crazy hard to find and selling out immediately online, I've lost my bearings on hobby. Is 370/box a good price? 390? 400+?

Anything under $400 is probably a steal at this point, looks like most online retailers have it at $425.

Ha. I think people fail to realize that on average you have to spend about $400 on retail to hit a base card of any player.

Personally, I would wait a few weeks to buy. I expect prices to come down some, as Zion does not seem to be on track for a return this month.

Like I’ve said before, when 2019 Sapphire is $200, 2019 Prizm at $400 is reasonable.
