Wonder how they are deciding UPS or Lasership... Mine was free shipping and got UPS.

Seems a bit inconsistent

Lasership is a regional thing, so I guess for areas that they don’t cover, they’re using UPS

I assume LaserShip is cheaper too.

The BAD
- collation doesn't look to be the best. The entire 10 box case had 0 Dalton Knecht cards.

[tolrobb]

30 "hits" in that case.

2 autographs
1 sapphire selection
27 #'d

Even ignoring the big names, I think thats better than expected.

There was actually 2 Sapphire Selections. The Bronny /5 and Hailey Van Lith /50

[cj828282]

So most boxes had 3 hits?

I think at least 1 had 4 hits. But seemed half the boxes in the case had 3+.

Could have been a 'loaded' box but I don't think that guy gets that many views. I like the card-signed autos, that will definitely command a premium in the aftermarket. $500 each for the autos /50 (Bronny and Caitlin), another $500 for red non-auto Bronny, and probably another $200 or so for the rest of the cards from the case, so $1700 raw for the case (which is about what they are selling for on Ebay). Graded PSA 10s would push that number higher and Sapphires grade very well based on past results. All in all, I would say a pretty good value and if you hit a Black, red, or superfractor auto, you will definitely come out ahead.

The /1, /5, and /10 autos are extremely hard to hit based on the published odds. No doubt we may be seeing some of those 'hit' on social media, but Topps has already 'sold out' so there is no incentive for them to provide loaded boxes to content providers.

That was an incredible case. Have to think that's in the Top 10% of cases in the product and not the expectation.

I'm almost expecting to get an orange /25 of that 47 year old Louisville player and a gold /50 of like a 25 year old super senior that has no future in the NBA as my "hits" from the 4 hobbies I ordered. lol

Not getting the B. James love here. He basically sucks at the collegiate level. Might he get better? Maybe? Good chance he's a mid-major w/out the blood lines. But one thing is for sure, he's not dad, and he'll never ever be even remotely in that stratosphere.

Guess what I'm saying - I'd never buy his cards. But I guess I'd happily sell them of to someone

I think anyone that has been around the hobby long enough knows to unload his stuff ASAP.

[redgem]

Yes, but whomever drafts Bronny gets Daddy as well (at least for a year). LeBron says he would like to play with his son before he goes out. I wouldn't pay much attention to the one and done year college joke, they have to do it. Bronny will get drafted late in first round so he will probably end up with a really good team like the Celtics or Lakers.

I pulled a /25 orange shimmer NON-auto Bronny from a hobby and put that thing up on Ebay as fast as possible. Ended up selling for over $100.

He's good enough to play P5 basketball. The issue is that he's a 3/4 year project and USC is a brand, not a developmental program. I'd be much, much higher on his future draft prospects if he transferred crosstown to UCLA. Collier and Ellis will be gone next year though so he's probably staying put with the expectation of 35 min/g and a ball dominant role in 2024-25.

If I pull any Bronnys they're going up on eBay asap.

Yeah, ignore who his dad is and he's probably a solid 3-4 year college guy like you said that could carve out a role as coming off the bench on an NBA team. Only way he's on an NBA team next season is if his dad forces it as a condition for signing with them himself.

[KhalDrogo]

Not sure how you can watch him play and call him a “solid” 3-4 year college guy. He’s abysmal on both ends of the floor right now. He’s got the talent needed to change that, but I’ve watched plenty of top HS prospects fall flat at the college level. If it wasn’t for his dad, there’s no way he’s getting the 20 minutes a game he is now.

[RainCityShecks]

Sorry didn't mean to derail the thread w/ my commentary on Brony J.

This product is looking like fire . Similar to the BCU football sapphire release. I'm liking what I'm seeing!
