Looks like the entirety of the buyers read the beginning of this thread. Good proof as to how hype works.

My guess is Wal Mart will have some in the next week or two.

Any new hoops or other football or basketball.

2 Hoops Premium Blasters.

1 Playbook Mega Box

That was the entire stock this morning.

My guess is employees thinned it out before opening.

Exactly what I've seen. Just not worth it to me. Gotta ask yourself what is your hourly wage at your job and the extrapolate the time spent stalking stockers.... Haha just realized that's gotta be a new name for these dudes. . Stocker staulkers.. ok but seriously like wiping before poopin..don't make any sense..

There are so many forms of people out there now.
1. Collectors
2. Flippers
3. Newbies because they've seen it's cool on social media.
4. The back in the hobby crowd.

Toss all that in with people still working from home not supervised. Along with school kids out, and people still not working. It's tough right now.

Anyone hear any updates on when Fanatics Optic Megas are shipping?

Where does Donruss Optic football historically fall in popularity/value of retail football releases? Top 3?

Historically top two.

But that was before Mosaic, and before the imminent Select retail.

*when* select retail comes out, that becomes my #1 (I know Prizm will always be #1 generally)

Did I see the checklist correctly and they didn’t put JAMES ROBINSON from the jags in the product?!?

Select over Prizm for myself as well. I hear you on Prizm, but I am curious to see how the new blood prioritizes things. They don’t seem to care about contenders, which has been the go-to signature card traditionally. I’m not sure the sacred Prizm base is as safe at the top as some think.

I feel like I’ve had my fill of Optic already thanks to the Optic Previews. Not hungry for Optic like I usually am. Might hunt some silvers.

Fanatics sent an email saying these shipments are delayed weeks

Select is number 1 for me easily, same in basketball.

Still nothing around my area Western Michigan, did see some Playbook Mega but that's about it. Walmart has drastically decreased shelf space for cards and Target still doesn't have a limit so it's pretty much RIP.

I received the same email from Fanatics. I'd hesitate to send it out because there is a personalized link to your order that you need to click in order to tell them to keep the order open or close it.

mma138 · 02-07-2021, 02:45 PM

i see the price for hobby slowly creeping up so ...people are paying stupid prices for these hobby boxes. unbeleivable .

TimBuckTwo · 02-07-2021, 05:10 PM

Are these a good product to buy?

Is ebay the only place to find decent prices?

Not sure what you mean by this....

The email from Fanatics has a live link that allows the buyer to cancel their order or leave it open so they can ship it when the product arrives. So if someone sends you the email they received, they would be sending you an email with a link that is active and can be clicked on to cancel that person's order. It wasn't the typical "sorry this product is late, we'll ship it when it arrives" email.

Strange I didn't get this email. Hopefully this isn't like the last Prizm Mega Boxes where some orders got cancelled weeks later.
