There is plenty of potential for a let down but overall I think it is a solid buy.
I agree, seeing lots of hobby breaks and they only get 1 numbered cards, though inserts are nice

It was almost fate, I for some reason woke up at 5:17 am this morning and saw my phone light up. I grab it to see that Target notified me of a re-stock at 5:15 am. Quickly go to the site...sold out lol. We have no chance vs. the bots

Finally was able to get blasters at my local target after trying for weeks and only being able to go on Fridays.

That’s what it looks like some areas are seeing first wave. DFW pretty much all cleared out. Checked several store at 830 and three people already checked before me lol

I have opened 16 blasters, 4 megas, 2 hangers, and 2 cello. Here are my pulls and thoughts:

Zion base mosaic Prizm
Zion base silver Prizm
Zion variation
3 Zion base
3 Zion debut
4 ja base
2 ja debut
Ja debut green
Tatum genesis
Barrett debut genesis
Ntilikina genesis
Bertans orange /25
Eric Gordon /10
LeBron mvp mosaic Prizm
LeBron will to win green

Obviously I did very well so that will no doubt sway an opinion. But even on the dud boxes, it was an absolute blast to rip.

1. This product is amazing. I thought it was ugly when I saw it in pictures. Very different in hand.
2. Jam masters mosaic Prizm might be the best looking card I’ve ever had in hand. Only pulled 3 of these.
3. Very difficult to hit a decent green parallel.
4. Scottie Pippen hall of fame is massively overproduced.
5. Mosaic and silver prizms seem to be hitting the same. Silver looks much nicer.
6. Tough to hit an auto. Weirdly enough, I don’t collect autos so I’m fine with this.
7. All packages provide the same value. A lot are saying blasters are the “worst” of the 4. I hit both my zions in blasters.
8. Very difficult decision in selling the rest of my stash or ripping it. Even without the Zion hits, I’m about dead even value wise compared to even secondary market prices. Storing it away is not an option for me. Either sell or rip with a slight lean towards ripping.

If you do find it in the wild, do yourself a favor and rip it. If you find a stash, sell what you have to to break even and rip the rest for free. My two cents.

Nice hall. Where did the 3 Genesis come from?

In regards to value, I think most have a small sample size and are quick to jump to whatever was hottest for them. Megas are an easy choice, but I've seen up to 6 or 7 parallels come out of a single hanger box (downside with them is no chance at a numbered card, but have the variations so probably negates that - easier to pull a Zion variation than a top numbered card out of retail). Cellos have their exclusive blue fluorescent, blasters with their orange, also don't forget the mega exclusive blue reactive inserts are numbered to 99.

Especially at retail (and msrp), most are can't lose. I was obviously incredibly lucky but made 2k from 2 retail Lebron pulls. His base orange fluorescent /25 blaster exclusive, and his silver mosaic jam masters. Where else could you pull a lebron insert, from retail, and pull in $450 raw? Crazy times... to be fair, both cards were truly badass in hand...

Just bought about a dozen Hangers and a few Cellos. Left the blasters, but may go back and get them. Goal: Would like to sell enough so I could bust the rest for "free" Hope that can work out.

To the people that have seen hangers and cellos this week, is this the first time that store has been stocked? Curious if it's part of wave 2 or if it's the initial loadout that was never put out until today.

Wave 2 for me. Last week it was Megas and blasters. This week it was hangers, blasters, and cellos.

I woke up this morning to find two restock notifications on my phone. Mosaic multipack bundle at 4:58AM ET and blaster box at 6:17AM ET. Both were out of stock again, of course. It wouldn't matter if I'd been awake or not. If these were true restocks, bots got them quick. I don't think anyone here has claimed success with a restock on Mosaic.
