I have seen some good breaks & some bad breaks.
1 out of every 2 packs get a rookie it seems. Saw one guy who paid $500 for a pack on ebay, got Cade & then it got a PSA 10.

Those packs to me are the pinnacle of pack opening because its a true gamble IMO.

Checklist is like 50 rookies out of 330? (1 per 6.5 cards) so yeah, in a 3 card pack you have a little less than 50% chance of a rookie

I picked up a silver wave and had a hard time finding it on my checklist. I checked becketts website and it shows 60 parallels now. It was 59. Am I losing my mind or it’s there more parallels coming?

When I first saw the checklist for Select this year I didn't see the Elephant Prizm, I thought oh boy they shrunk it down maybe and won't do it anymore....but nope, go back to the checklist today and sure enough Elephant Prizm is back baby

I went by one of my local Targets to see if they had any...huge shock when I saw over 60(!) Megas and Cellos. 60. Ended up picking 3 Megas.

I saw more pics of other Targets fully packed. I don't recall ever seeing something like this. Either they really printed this to the moon or there have been a lot of online returns from flippers.

There's no more secondary market, at least not in mass quantity. I think if they were still $20 for blasters and quality wasn't horrendous we could go back to ripping and grading, but at this point there's literally no point to retail. Target online has had Prizm and Optic in stock all week. If they had megas I'd probably buying a couple to rip, but no interest in most other SKUs

Same here. Favorite SKUs are Megas and Hangers. I've ripped some and I'm holding some.

Retail has regressed to 2015.

I went back to the Target where I picked up my Megas over the weekend...all Megas were gone. The weird thing was that it seemed like all cellos were intact. Maybe 10 from the original 60+ were gone.

I like Megas more and have enough cellos but still think it was weird how one was completely gone and the other one barely touched.

The blasters at least still have the green pulsars to chase.

But with the tanking of base and silvers there's not a lot to chase in the cellos, megas, and even hangers (though the hangers seem to be a decent rip for autos).

Received an email from Fanatics stating that they're having issues with my order (5 x 2021-22 Prizm BKB Blaster Boxes, Fanatics Exclusive).

The same email stated that I could cancel the order (online) if desired. I tried to do it and couldn't. Called a CS representative who couldn't assist me either.

Haha, basically your usual Fanatics experience.

Same...I ended up chatting in and they opened up a ticket and will let me know in 72 hours.

Now I'm starting to think they gave out more wins in the draw then they had intended.

Yeah, they probably oversold. I don't particularly mind, I'll take the cancellation. I just don't want them to hold my funds and do nothing.

Thanks! They followed up from my chat inquiry earlier this week and I got a refund/cancellation email this morning.

Outside of some really cheap clearance deals on sports apparel, I've never been happy with Fanatics shipping. They always take weeks for products to actually arrive due to slow processing.

I’d say their free shipping isn’t worth it.

Quick follow-up but I called the number and the representative was helpful.

Order was cancelled in a few seconds, refund will show in a few business days.

Thanks again for the number!

Is it me or where are all the SSP or 1/1 of this product? I haven't seen even one true gold of John Stockton (i.e.) surfacing ebay, not mentioning the 1/1s. Are there that many unopened boxes or are my expectations unrealistic?

Unopened. Not seen a single Brogdon #’d to 10 or less yet.

What a brutal year for this draft class.

Cade seemingly done for the year. Mobley and Barnes both lost whatever rookie hobby luster they had. And Franz may arguably be playing better than JG.

How they're still trying to justify the astronomical hobby markups is beyond me.
