What are the best brands to buy in retail that offer the best possibility of a good hit? Thanks

Prizm, Mosaic, Optic

Depends on what you mean by “good hit”. It’s not gonna net you gobs of money but if you want some of the top picks for a minimum I’ve had decent luck with illusions. Plus you’re more likely to find that than some of the more highly sought after “premium” retail stuff.

I’ve watched some breaks of illusions megas. Most seem to have both an auto and a men. Also can hit a /149 fairly frequently (maybe one every three boxes or so it seems) which means the print run of its sapphire parallels is rather low. Have a small stash that we have not opened yet, but plan to. Also really like Prestige Megas. Two autos and 3 numbered cards is typical per box. These have gone up in price quite a bit since first released. Illusions is starting to move up as well. Avoid the blasters in these two products if you want hits. Go for the megas

Prizm - Silvers, Pulsar & Pink AU's, Red & Blue SSP

Mosaic - Genesis, Silvers, Pink, Gold, Blue Fluorescent

Optic - Holos & Auto's

Absolute - Kabooms

Thats the only retail thats comes to mind where you can hit a $1000+ card

Prizm, and it's not even close. It's the top set for collectors and prices are pretty low on the re-sale market due to the current re-stocks, relatively speaking of course. Prices will start going up when the retail drops end in a few weeks. Best time to buy is now in my opinion if you are looking to rip and don't want to stalk vendors for cards lol
