Aesthetics would be my best guess. These are 239239832894x better looking than the bland base. If it were just a thicker or thinner cardstock (which was the prevailing speculation), then these would have fared much worse on the secondary market.

I think Zions are going for just south of 300 for the green waves. It's a 1:10 pack chance of pulling him assuming no duplicates, so in my mind it's a no brainer to sell the packs sealed unless you really don't care.
why you hating on Rookie Cards?

That’s not too bad. I’ll pick a couple up and sell a sealed box or two later to cover for it

Smart move! I was gonna do the exact same (and to cover initial buy-in) but ripped one and hit it lol.

Don’t want multiple though, just wanted one.

Foshizzle. I mean, technically anyone that bought these direct is already way up....so it's just house money.

Hahaha true. Many are actually making more money ripping and selling individually (not sure how long that window will be open but pretty cool option to have, at least for the time-being).

I think PSA 10s Zions will sell very well. I am holding mine if they look promising for grading.

You'll all get yours.

Remember, these aren't coming from Fanatics...they're being shipped from Panini (if what I'm reading is correct). I'm guessing Fanatics and its subsidiaries are just having a tough time keeping track of the thousands of older orders, probably because there was also a ton of cancellations and adjustments. The extra $50-70 put the new orders at the top of the queue.

yeah usually anytime I'm buying raw singles I buy a couple, inspect to keep the best one(s), then sell the rest back to the market.

You sure about that? Mine was shipped from the Miami area. I believe that the Fanatics HQ is in Florida.

Ya. I placed 4 separate orders on 12/30 and 12/31 - all came through. Half with and half without the coupons. You should all see them shipped notification soon.

Correct. Despite these being a “manufacturer direct” item, Panini has no involvement in the shipping. Confirmed by Fanatics and Panini.
