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.
Not that I have crap for willpower anyway but you just reaffirmed the inevitable. Ripping the 1st basketball product I found in the wild since January! (though I dont look all that often).

Found another nice haul today. Ripped the 4 Megas and 5 Bowman baseball blasters and flipped the rest. It was very tempting to rip it all, but I had to be responsible and pay off some debt.

0/8 at Walmart’s today, shouldn’t be surprised since I’ve never found anything at a Walmart before

Consolation was buying 10 hangers at $350 flat. Hope it ends up being a discount in the long run

Some Walmart’s are stopping the sale of cards. Talk with the manager and see if your store is one of them...

I've been scouring eBay for deals and it seems like the 3 most popular states I'm seeing for listings are Texas, North Carolina, Alabama.

Walmart near me had 3 display trays which were completely wiped out. Rest of card section is just empty displays like most people have posted here. Last week was able to find a couple blasters and 2 megas from same walmart store.

For everyone else who found a couple blasters and megas last week in walmarts, was there several display trays this week? Guessing this might be the end for mosiac for these walmart stores.

I scheduled a wallyworld run around when I knew the MJH guy comes, but wound up getting delayed with some work for about 20 minutes. Naturally, I got there as the rep was finishing up, and he said someone had come in right when he arrived, opened the boxes for him, and took all 3 trays of Mosaic. Every last drop. Might get some online since the prices are dropping.

Which stores? I am running around West Tennessee and don’t want to double up where you have already hit. Congrats on the score...I have been striking out for weeks.

I left NONE for the kids!!! Also, 5 Bowman baseball blasters per store, 15 total. Next week will be the big release of retail for Bowman in my area.

Very frustrating to see how big these reloads are and not get a shot at anything for me and my son to bust.

So it’s not just my bad luck. I had a hunch SJ was receiving any. I thought the entire state was gonna be dry because of lockdown but central and north jersey are having some luck.

What stores did you hit specifically? I hit Mays Landing Target and Williamstown Walmart. Both dry.

I never want to see another blaster box of 2019 Prestige football, UD Hockey, or Topps Heritage baseball again for as long as I live.
