First Buzz: 2019-20 Donruss Optic basketball cards

[ccssports713]

I submitted a few silver waves and green waves for replacement. The silver were changed to base and green to holo. They are still being processed so we shall see.

Almost a Freudian slip. Many “collectors” are definitely stuck in Prizm Prison.

Will do. Although it was updated still says initial request.

My suspicion is that if you submit something that says "silver wave", and in the system it's called "fanatics box set", the next closest thing in the system is "silver holo" so it's just changing the name since what you entered doesnt exist. I guarantee that when it comes to actually fulfilling the request, they know exactly what the price difference is between a Zion Holo and a Zion Silver wave.

I posted it but I haven’t received anything back yet. I sent in Green Wave’s which I actually selected Green Wave in their options. It listed under Series 2 Optic. They changed all 3 to silver Holo’s in my requests. I’ll make sure to update once I receive something.

I love the inserts in here this year. Heads and shoulders above last year's.My House, Splash, T-Minus, Fast Lane are all beautiful cards. Fast Lane gives me light Downtown vibes. I just ordered Lillard/Embiid inserts off eBay. 8 total for $11. Might just put together some sets since these seem to be going super cheap. Certainly not paying the ask for packaged products at this point.

Agreed, I love all the retail inserts this year, way better than last year’s Optic and this year’s Prizm IMO. I just got done putting together a master set of all the base cards and inserts...I was only missing 2 base cards after opening a decent amount of retail, but I still needed like 25 inserts. These were really cheap and readily available on the bay, so it didn’t cost me a lot to buy the singles to put the rest of the set together.

So out of these very rare but not rarest base card parallels,

Pink #/25
Fast break Pink Disco #/20
Black Velocity #/39
Purple stars #/29
Fast break blue disco #/50
Blue #/59
white sparkle
checkerboard

Which ones sell the best/are most sought after in order.

[daeve]

Black Velocity /39
Blue /59

Maybe [depending on price]
White Sparkle
Checkerboard
Pink

I'm not into Disco stuff at all. Purple stars also too gimmicky. [looks like old Pokemon holo patterns lol]

Just went to the Target in my town and the rep must have just left. The entire section was filled up. Bought 18 of the cello hanger packs and got the $25 off $100 purchase. Awesome

That is nice. That happened to me one time after about 10 trips.

I'm not even looking at Walmart anymore. Caught the rep stocking one day but she had no basketball. Wasn't very friendly either.

Had to go to walmart yesterday. Was excited to check out the card section.


"Nunn"..... But wait... Its a repack product. I always look at those and never pick them up. Would rather waste my money in other places.

I pick up the box... Has optic packs on the cover.



So some... Had 3 packs of optic. Best of those where a lebron insert and a "pays for the break" card.


Trey young optic rc. Sharp copy but oc.



So that was fun.

So you used a pack of gum as an excuse for an 'essential' to look for cards. In New Jersey, where the virus isn't bad at all. LOL

That's like saying I'm gonna go run and grab a N95 mask and some hand sanitizer at your local store. No way you can find gloves anywhere right now.

It's his life so let him do him, but no way in hell I'd venture anywhere near big box stores in the tri-state area right now. I'd have been stocked up a month ago and I'd go the delivery/pick up route if I needed somerthing.

Zion is a hell of a drug though!

Every post from someone going to Target or Walmart is because they HAD to go there for something else. Not because they wanted to buy $100's of dollars of sports cards lol.

This is even true before the pandemic. You rarely see someone post that they went to the store to buy cards. It's always some reason like "I needed gum, "the wife needed milk", "Ran out of Mountain dew". Nobody cares what your intentions were going to the store, we all know that the majority of the time it is really for you to buy sports cards.

The people going to the stores now looking for cards are a problem. Stay home or this is going to go on longer. Stop acting like you NEED to go to Target for something. It is like you are trying to convince yourself the purpose of the trip by telling us. We don't believe you!!!

Yeah, I NEED some Dew and Hot Cheetos!

Just ripped 4 cellos. Nothing crazy. Highlight of it all was a purple Ja “My House” insert. Also pulled two of the base winner stays inserts - LeBron on one and Kobe on the other. Like I said before I love the inserts in here and it looks like I’ll be tracking a lot them down. Already ordered some off eBay so I’m stoked about these. Also got some other solid base inserts of Kyrie, Giannis, Kemba (silver prizm), and some others.

Just happy to rip some packs. It’s been months.

Edit: Forgot, also pulled 900 panini points. Not bad at all.

Probably won’t be able to shop for cards soon:
