Up to you. I don't know if you want to counter (because you risk losing that offer too).

I would personally either take it or wait a few more hours (probably half-day max).

What you have that others won't is the jersey numbered card. So you have an advantage of waiting a little longer than others since most people are gonna be gunning for that one first (obviously, there's a small chance that the offer will be retracted but I doubt it given who we're talking about).

I'd take it as well. It's an insert from a bonus package. Reminds me of last year's "5th anniversary" prizm /5. People still ask a ton for those, but don't think they are as popular as the golds or even silvers.

Congrats again on a great day of prizm

I'm waiting to see the first case break of this. I want to see what a case looks like. We've seen nice boxes, but nice cases? Hmm....

Pulled a Gold Simmons /10. Any thoughts on value?

Solid 2 boxes, also pulled John Collins Emergent Shimmer /8, De'Aaron Fox Blue, Franky Knicks auto. Fun product to open!

Wow, is that right? The Hyper version of a card is more common than the Base version of a card?

Yup. Hypers are like the flash last year. Very common.

Just being transparent as this thread has been great for information through the whole process. Box prices aren't going down yet. Sold a single for $360 and offer of $4200 came in for the case.

Just thought I'd post for anyone on the fence. Seems the $350 range is still realistic.

At $350 seems the value of busting is still favorable with current prices if you list quickly.

I would sell the auto and keep the Fultz. He might blow up once he's healthy. Too early to tell though.

Nice! I'd put them up for a crazy BIN or in the BST. See if you get any bites.

Take it man. That's a really good price on an insert card that will become forgotten down the road, even if Lonzo blows up.

Anybody who was looking for that card has seen it, so while it's possible someone comes a little higher, in all likelihood that's the highest offer you'll see. On higher priced "hot" cards generally the first few strong offers are the best you'll get and then the offers trend down from there because the serious buyers have already seen the card and decided against purchasing or offering.

You destroyed it. For all the good you do/bring, you deserved it (especially with that FOTL Immaculate or Flawless ordeal). Congratulations!!
