I did end up opening them as the plastic looked good but the boxes had a few dings in them and would rsther not deal with any headaches of selling them and people returning them.

No Ja or Zion cards at all, but was pretty decent with a Luka Pink, Coby White Base Silver Prizm RC, Kawhi Base Silver Prizm, LeBron Prizm Winner Stays, Jae Crowder Checkerboard (blah)

Still no optic or mosaic, been to 11 stores. Found a about 10 NBA sticker packs lol....stash of select baseball, some contenders football and clearance goodies. Still no optic or REAL basketball yet

Be on the lookout for optic!!! It’s coming back! If not this week, next week but it’s 100 percent coming back

Just want to point out that Optic prices have been super soft lately, maybe seeing it re-emerge in stores will put it back in people's searches. Zion Optic Holos are the top card you're aiming for, and 9's have dropped below $500, a 9.5 went for only $660, and a raw for $305. PSA 10s are probably safe, but man those are rough prices considering blasters are $80ish

So does that fact that Optic is being reprinted bring down the prices of it?

Is there a specific product like the Walmart megas that have recently been seen or everything?

I can confirm. Spoke to a Wally rep on Friday and she showed me a pic of optic and it said it would be released 7/1.

In store. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to get any because she said employees go through her boxes before she gets there and grabs everything.

twooge74 · 06-23-2020, 04:39 PM

Cool. Thanks. And, yeah, probably no luck them even making it to the shelves.

July 1 huh. Gonna be out and about.

rafibomb · 06-23-2020, 07:53 PM

So when people are talking about reprinting optic they are only referring to wm megas?

frankiecgsw · 06-23-2020, 08:01 PM

Won't be close to that price. The Panini Encased suggested retail was $225 and BO listed it earlier today for $500 (now $550).

If memory serves, the Wally Megas were determined to be the worst Optic retail SKU in terms of bang for buck. Doesn't mean you shouldn't scoop them up if you see them of course. I never saw a single one of these in the wild back in the day.

If only WM Megas are buying reprinted do Target megas rise in price?

I hope so! I actually have a few of those!

lseecon · 06-24-2020, 10:27 PM

How does a "legitimate" licensed card company that caters to the collecting community just fire up the presses and start reprinting cards out of the blue? Why stop with 2019 Optic? Why not 2018 Prizm? Why not 2012? Why not 2017 Football so we can all get Mahomes rookies? Does anyone have an explanation of what is going on?

Retail Fool · 06-24-2020, 10:55 PM

I don't believe the "reprinting" thing has been cleared up as actual reprinting or boxes that were for some reason not released / stocked?

ninjacookies · 06-24-2020, 10:58 PM

Noticed a lot more of these megas popping up on secondary auction sites lately. Not sure if coincidence.
