The 2020 rookie class seems decent. Herbert had a great year, burrow was doing good until injury, Jefferson is a beast, Taylor, etc. Product is being ripped at an all time high. Is there any value holding onto a couple sealed boxes? Just sparking discussion

I would hold a couple boxes, like you said Herbert and Jefferson look great, Burrow was good before his injury, but I have a couple of problems:
Will Tua develop enough to be an NFL starter? He needs weapons around him, and even then it isn't a guarantee. Jefferson, like you said, was a beast, but he has Kirk Cousins throwing him the ball, and the Vikings always go 7-9,8-8, etc and miss the playoffs, on top of that, they get a draft pick in the 13-18 range. For Joe Burrow, can you really trust the Bengals to make the right moves, the first move they need to make is firing Zac Taylor. Not only that, but Mike Brown is always cheap in free agency. I personally would sell some, because they are so hot, and keep some because this class has so much potential. Just my 2 cents. |

2020 is a bit different as all wax was selling for 5 times the retail price out the gate. If the rookies do not pan out it could drop to a price that is lower than purchased originally at.

Definitely. I don't think we're done seeing the 2020 class either. Two of the hardest throwing qbs in the draft haven't shown their stuff yet, Jacob Eason and Jordan Love.

Yes, we know what Charger QB1 can do. Bengal QB1 and Dolphins QB1/2 can still take off.

Bengals lost some close game with Burrow. Sounds crazy, but I genuinely think they arent far from turning the corner.

I'm sitting on a couple of sealed boxes and cases for Prizm of this year. I grabbed none of them at retail prices, but way below what's the average eBay rates / online store rates. I do think that with Herbert, Burrow, Jefferson, but also quite a lot of others 'sleepers', let it be Love or potentially Eason, or other positions, there's quite some potential. If one of them really blows up we should be good, but the combination of several very solid rookies can make it profitable too.

Maybe I'm wrong. And I am a lot, but when these boxes are selling at record prices to begin with how much higher do we really think they could go? I just don't see them holding that kind of value. Maybe if you held for a year or so, but I can't see people paying the crazy prices that boxes have been selling for that many years down the line. When everything comes back to earth I think people will be lucky to break even.

There will be a hype-driven price increase late summer before they even start playing next season.

with herbert and burrow returning and maybe tua improves and hurts starts in 2021 i think 2020 is a fine hold. 2019 is product I would not want to be sitting on with just kyler and rookie wrs from that class to carry the flagship for 2019.

Once you’re like me...and have had the opportunity to lose out on thousands of dollars due to expired redemptions...you stop saving wax.

not enough people consider redemption expiration dates when holding onto sealed wax long term (especially if the main attractions aren’t live autos) if you do, then bravo. but good point made!

People aren't opening anything. It's all going in some dusty 2nd bedroom. The break threads are a shell of what they used to be.
