Serious question. How does everyone here have the time to research, buy, sell, hold, etc.?

I feel like it's a lot of work.

Agree that pictures will be different, but will people pay a premium for the optic preview variation? I’m not so sure; they aren’t doing so today (see singles prices) so idk what changes once there are an abundance of base rookies out there. Given that the main draw of this product are the optic previews, I’m increasingly skeptical these hold their current value.

I spend a lot less time worrying about what I’m doing with these then I do on my $20 fantasy football league.

I imagine it is. I haven't bought any cards to resell or opened any product since 2016, so I don't know what everyone does for new sets like Mosaic, but I'm still unloading a lot of older stuff this year thanks to the "junk mint" boom.

I went through my junk boxes, pulled every Chrome/Prizm/Optic/Select RC of active players (which wasn't a ton; I used to send everything numbered to COMC, which I regret now), and photographed them ahead of time. Then I wait for a player to score a touchdown or make some sort of fantasy splash play, check out the inevitable spike of completed BIN sales, and list my cards for 20 to 50 percent more, depending on the number of remaining listings. BIN only, no offers.

It's been a very successful strategy so far, and the only real work was the half a day or so it took to get everything pulled and photographed. My sales for last Sunday and Monday alone were around $800, all base and regular Refractors/Silver Prizms from 2013-2016, and I didn't list anything until around halfway through the Green Bay game when Davante Adams went off.

That's $800 for junk base that was probably worth a total of $20 at this time last year. This hobby is dumb.

Has anyone got a burrow auto out of one of these yet?

tcdyess · 09-19-2020, 05:58 PM

All I know Is the optic previews out of these are very rare versus the other versions of retail.... those pinks are like 20 to 1...

I've seen two on eBay, hopefully one of my boxes has one

Do we know that they came out of these?

mainelobster · 09-19-2020, 07:34 PM

Busted my one box that I had ordered from Fanatics when they first hit. I hate Panini so it's the first box I've broken in years. No auto in the box and jersey was a no namer. However, pulled the Optic Preview of Tua and Herbert so definitely can't complain.

Yea I opened one out of my 10 just to see what it would be like. It was fun. Optic previews of Herbert, chase young, and Akers amongst others. Herbert relic, tua base, CEH and ceedee white hot rookies and two scrub autos. Hunter Henry and Darwin Thompson. Wrong chiefs back

whoshotjr · 09-19-2020, 11:06 PM

Opened my 2 boxes. No big QB hits in optic previews, only QBs were Stevens and Luton. Best previews were probably Taylor and Reagor.

Hits were:

Auto (Bronze): Hurts, Aiyuk
Relic: Hurts, Love

Both my Dominator were dinged (different boxes).

It is a lot of work. You could probably save time & effort by focusing on a smaller # of big $$ cards, but that's not nearly as much fun

rcearley · 09-21-2020, 06:20 AM

I decided to open one of my boxes from the case I purchased and I was very happy with the results. I got a Joe Burrow Optic preview so it was worth the price of selling the box for me personally as I’m collecting him.

tcdyess · 09-21-2020, 07:00 PM

10 box lot just went for $920ish... I actually took a couple shots at last minute in the 700s...would have loved that deal....

I broke 5 of the Fanatics Megas and listed all of it on ebay. I was very surprised to net nearly 600. Best cards were Tua and Helaire Optics but everything else sold pretty well too.

ClipsandVols · 09-22-2020, 07:01 AM

Ended up opening 1 of my five last night. It was a really fun box at SRP.

No autos
1 mem card of Devin Duveranay
1 canvas (can't remember the rookie's name)
2 Bronze- One RC I cant recall and Ken Anderson
Optic Previews of note- Tua, Jacob Eason, Jerry Juedy, and Jonathan Taylor

KhalDrogo · 09-22-2020, 07:21 AM

At current pricing, best to either rip and grade or just hold. Should have bought a sealed case myself. Burrow, Tua, and Herbert are going to have very long hobby leashes.

Very easy hold. I have some listed on ebay to recoup funds but I debate taking it down everyday

jayjones82 · 09-22-2020, 07:41 AM

I got 6 Optic Preview Tua's from the 15 boxes I opened (which I guess makes me a Tua collector now). I can't remember the last time I had so much fun ripping a product. I've debated buying a few off the bay to rip, since they seem so low right now.

cavsfan70 · 09-22-2020, 07:42 AM

I busted my 5 boxes. Got a few herberts, burrow, tua. Got an optic preview of each.

Rest of my hits... 3 garbage autos, 3 garbage patch cards. The base were all better ironically.

Sent all the QB cards to PSA yesterday. A base raw tua optic preview went for a little over 100 this weekend... looking good.

Opened the five boxes I received. Preview of Burrow, Herbert, Tua and Clyde were all nice. Got two autos, Isaiah Simmons and Mohamed Sanu. Also got a press proof helaire and a white hot Herbert. Very happy.

Having these graded sp optics back before the end of the year for ROY award ect might be a worth premium. Very few other respected rookie products will be slabbed at that time (prizm, select, ect)

doubledribble · 09-22-2020, 08:54 AM

Opened one...

Shaquil Barrett auto
Jacob Eason jersey

2 off-center Jordan Love optic previews

Seems like a lot of these previews are slightly off-center, which makes me wonder if these previews are a way for card printers to calibrate their processes.
