Black Friday 2024

[GuacamoleCards]

Maybe isn't the best deal, but I'm slightly interested the 23/24 Revolution Hobby Box case @ $148/ea on SCC. If I'm thinking about it this hard though it's probably not worth it.

I mean imo that's a pretty good per box price an I'd prob try one or too, but if it's only that price on a case-level or you're buying on a case-level I'd have to think it out awhile as 16 boxes is alot and you're only gonna get probably half that in autos so 8. Add in the likely case-hit that boosts it abit but if it's the wrong name Revolution isn't like a Tiger or Zebra in Select for example where everyone except the lowest tier sells for ok money. Then of course you have your main chase numbered or case-hit Wemby, which I'm assuming still nets you a good amount but again is it worth the chase when any parallel higher than Cosmic likely isn't coming close to case-price.

I'm also not a large case-buyer though and when I have I've done ok but I've also usually stopped if I hit a big card and traded/sold the rest, but that would be my thought on the Revolution boxes.

Hey, my AngryAsian meme coin profits gotta be laundered somehow.

[glassofwater]

To bad about McDonald’s chrome the price of the case went up not down.

Pawning bullish memecoins for depreciating modern kardboard artifacts makes me question your bitboi authenticity.

I've also ripped about 4 of these cases over the last year - Bought 2 more this weekend.

My last case I pulled a Cade Cunningham Limited Rookie Jersey Auto Asia Jade redemption but Panini only gave me 900 points.

I have been able to grade about 12-15 of the cards on average from each case and then flip them to cover the cost+.

It's a very fun rip and low risk. JMHO

My final Black Friday tally:

2021-22 Chronicles Asia Case
2021-22 Illusions Asia Case
2022-23 Mosaic Asia Box
2023-24 Optic Mega Box (x4)
2023-24 Mosaic Fanatics Blaster
2023-24 Phoenix Blaster

All for a little over $1300. Only regret was passing on a 2021-22 Mosaic Blaster Case and a 2022-23 Mosaic Asia Case.

Nice haul. Love the Asia boxes.

I am seeing these two boxes on sale. Are either worth the rip at that price?

2022/23 Panini Mosaic Basketball Asia @ $35/box
2021/22 Panini Select Basketball Asia @ 45/box

Thanks.

Don't know about Mosaic, this is gonna be my first box. Don't expect much, at least should be a fun rip.

Select Asia is a bit of a crapshoot. You get 3-4 RPAs per case. Mine had 3 and the best one was Greg Brown. You can get 4 and get two of the top guys. I'll personally pass at that price, maybe if cases were around $500 it might be worth it.

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.

I wouldn't worry about passing on the mosaic blasters. They are still $250 at another. Also just going to get a huge pile of silvers and greens. Not much potential for anything big.

I like building sets and opening packs, that's why I was looking into them. I just wonder how many autos/Genesis you'll get per case.

Haha, very nice!!

Here's what I picked up basketball wise.

2 x 2021/22 Bowman University Basketball Hobby 12 Box Case ($798.48)
2 x 2021/22 Panini Chronicles Basketball Asia Edition 20 Box Case ($1198.48)
3 x 2020/21 Panini Chronicles Basketball Tmall Edition 20 Box Case ($1797.72)

Picked up a lot of baseball, 1 UFC, 1 tennis, and some non-sports (fortnite, shang-chi, star wars).

That's a haul! Keep us posted on what you get. Specially 20-21 Chronicles, I want to know how many Chrome Green Ice you get and if there's anything besides that worth it.

Haha, hard to pass when reasonably priced. For instant, here's my non-basketball haul:

5 x 2018 Panini Donruss Racing Hobby 20 Box Case
2 x 2021 Topps Chrome NPB Japan Baseball League Hobby 12 Box Case
4 x 2022 Topps Baseball UK Edition 12 Box Lot
5 x 2023 Topps Series 1 First Edition Baseball 12 Box Case
2 x 2019 Panini Fortnite Series 1 Trading Cards Blister 12 Box Case
3 x 2022 Topps Rip Baseball 12 Box Lot
2 x 2020 Topps UFC Striking Signatures Hobby 20 Box Case
2 x 2022 Topps Heritage High Number Baseball Hobby 12 Box Case
2 x 2021 Topps Chrome Tennis Sapphire Edition 10 Box Case
1 x 2019 Topps Star Wars: Resistance Surprise Pack Blaster 16 Box Case
3 x Marvel Studios Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Hobby 12-Box Case

Sounds good! Once in-hand, I'll rip a couple from each year. The main goal will be to move the boxes sealed to recoup cost though. However, once done, I'll be able to rip/hold the remaining boxes care-free haha.

[BackToWax]

Only buy for me was 2023-24 Mosaic Asia 2X @ $149 per and 2023-24 Phoenix Asia @ $165 per.

Wanted to get a case of something from 2022-23, but nothing stood out.

Yeah it's def nice that we can buy retail for less than $15/blaster. I saw a case break of 22-23 and they didn't pull any genesis/numbered and I think 1 auto.

How do you move boxes? Locally?

I got 8 heritage mini boxes and I have just been sitting on them cause I'm a bit nervous selling them.

I move boxes locally (card shows, FB) and online (eBay, FB, etc). When working online deals, I try to work off-eBay as much as possible to keep 10% of what I'd lose to fees but eBay has the most visibility.

[dimer10]

Did anyone grab the 2022-23 bowman blaster case. Felt like that was worth a shot as I can break some with my daughter hunting Clark 1st’s and keep a bunch for the unopened collection with Wemby (longshot at best) and Clark in it.

[eastbayak]

Just ripped two boxes of 2021/22 Panini Chronicles Basketball Asia Edition.

First box had a numbered Giddey and Zion.

Second box only had 8 cards but a Jalen Green /3 (I suppose that makes up for the missing cards) and a numbered LaMelo.

[yiguiri2002]

Just finished my case of 21-22 Illusions Asia. Posted it in the box break section.

Decent break but Chronicles is better IMO

Definitely fun for $199 since it was so many packs! My son and I opened up the 21-22 Mosaic blaster case on Christmas Day and ended up with 1 genesis and 5 autos.

The 5th auto was actually an expired Luka redemption! I searched 130/ebay, and I didn't see any 21-22 Luka Scripts Autos so I'm assuming that he never signed.

Not really sure how to go about it since I'm sure Panini will just offer points for it.

[yiguiri2002]

Quick update on my haul:

Posted both Asia cases
Best hit out of the 23-24 blasters was a Brandon Miller City Edition Mosaic RC

Pretty happy with the results so far
