Dang you’d have a problem with me then... but then again I don’t really care what people think. Lol I’ll rock a shirt, basketball shorts, and some flip flops to the store. I’d rather be comfortable than be stiffed up. The only time I’m going to dress up is to go to a restaurant to eat, see my girlfriends family, or going out to the bar.

$15 is definitely a great buy! I’d say they will hit at least $50

I doubt if there’s that kind of amount of people waiting that they’ve been sitting there for 3 hours. That rep probably has a set time he goes in, like ours in our city does. Everyone goes there and splits up everything evenly. No fights or complaining from people the times I’ve went.

From people that have opened how many packs and if any how many like $150+ cards have you hit? Fine breaking assuming there's just a bunch of Zion/Ja/Lebron paper but getting some actual nice cards too would be good

That's a great price! I've gotten as low as $18, but $20 seems to be the norm. I think they can easily hit $40.

Does MJ Holdings folks get in trouble for giving product away before they put them on shelves? She was giving it away in toy section and didn't have a chance to get to the front to stock. I noticed this same guy who was at Targets and I knew that this particular Walmart stocked today. I waited patiently in the front and that guy walks to the back, as I followed I saw he snagged all the chronicles and left.

Yep I got the UPS email as well. 2 day shipping too, not going to complain!

I haven't valuated anything from my break yet (24 blasters), but I hit a Zion Crusade silver, and the next-best card was probably either a Ja Luminance pink or a Melo Prizm pink. This isn't the product for $100+ cards ... even raw Luka paper from 18-19 is still well under $100.

I don’t think so, I’m not sure if the woman was an actual mj holdings rep but she let me look through some boxes the time she was there when I went. I know the excel rep just hands out what everyone wants from the boxes, then he stocks the shelves.

yeah this product is all about volume. I feel like on average you'll probably pull at least 1 card of any given rookie, so the floor is really high but without any huge hits it doesn't have the highest ceiling. at least this year has Silvers and chrome colors to chase, and I feel like a much better checklist, replacing 5 scrubs with LBJ / Giannis / Curry / Harden / Luka is AWESOME. I could be wrong, but 2018 retail only had base chrome (not counting bronze /5 because it's so unrealistic)

50 is crazy i think. It's not like Prizm, Optic, Mosaic. It's more like a Hoops/Donruss to me. Yeah, full of rookies. but i don't think worth 50.

Damn! He straight up pulled a fast one. I am pretty sure that if the product isn't "new," the stockers don't have to take pictures of the stock. So, this could be why they just went ahead and gave it to them if they asked them. Like, waiting around the back instead of the front. But, at the same time, i feel the stocker should sort of think they are not supposed to do that? No rules about that though i guess.

Found a fresh restock at my Walmart but ZERO Chronicles, which means my local area is only getting the shipment that we got last week in. Unfortunate.

My personal ranking, not necessary in terms of value but primarily in terms of visual appeal. This is just for retail (no hobby-only sets). Plenty of room for disagreement, and 4-7 are *mostly* interchangeable in my book.

1. Phoenix (chrome)
2. Crusade (chrome)
3. Luminance
4. Essentials
5. Marquee
6. Recon
7. XR
8. Hometown Heroes (chrome)
9. Flux (chrome)
10. Panini
11. Score
12. Prestige
13. Threads
14. Rookies and Stars
15. Playbook


If you want more of a value ranking, just move the chrome stuff up a bit. To be honest, I'm probably giving Flux too much credit ... I really dislike those cards.

Nah not any Yeezys, Jordans, or any Supreme in sight. The market has gotten so hot that it has attracted random people looking for some quick cash. I've heard there's even TikToks telling people to buy.
