Of course. Broke everything but the hobby so far. 9 Luka- none of them numbered.

Still not so bad.

Will break the hobby shortly.

I got this in the mail today! I'm very happy with it. I wanted to get one in mint condition obviously and good centering , and it has an autograph without ink skips in the l's and a complete first u instead of an i. The action shot, opti-chrome prizm look and a newly established brand in basketball that fits in perfectly with my collection, and much more likely Luka himself signed this one. And it's actually a base card in the set so a true RC.

4th Q was great. Whole team stepped up on offense and more importantly, defense. Looking forward to getting the whole squad back.

Definitely could have been better but oh well. My retail has been good and I'll be breaking a lot more of that this weekend.

Aside from the base:

Hamidou Diallo Black Box /249
Moritz Wagner /149
Clint Capela /149
Jaren Jackson Elite /149
Kevin Huerter Ringing in the New Year /99
Bruce Brown /99
Aaron Gordon Lined Up Perfectly /49
Donte Davincenzo Majestic /149
Marvin Bagley Crusade /149

Autos
Justin Jackson Chronicles /75
Jalen Brunson Chronicles /75
Teased me with two Mavericks. At least I didn't get any points...

interesting! i appreciate the recap.

would you say that the color/numbered cards are more prevalent in Hobby?

i know they promote two autos per box, but this product is not about autos IMO

Serial numbered cards average two per pack in hobby. I'm not sure of the averages in hangers and blasters but I don't think it's that high. I know the hobby is popular for the chance at the Gala. I don't have a huge sample size but hangers seem better to me for sure things. Just so many rookies in this product. I hit 9 Luka in 3 hangers and 5 value packs and 0 in the hobby box tonight. Hit a ton in my hangers the other night as well. I guess it just depends on if you want to gamble for a Gala or auto.

Good call on the Gala.

im sure there are other hobby only cards, but i agree that retail is the best bang for the buck

Cards 301-500 on the checklist are Hobby exclusive:
Elite Black Box, Majestic, Plates & Patches, Gala, Titanium (three different versions), and Vanguard.

Also, I'm almost positive that the only way to get the Red/Blue/Purple/Orange/Gold/Platinum parallels of cards 1-400 and 471-600 (Vanguard has gold and platinum parallels) is through hobby boxes.

I opened two hobby cases when it was around $140/box. I luckily hit a Luka auto in each case, but it would be a very rough break at this current price point.

I see blowout raised the price of chronicles hobby from $225 to $250 a box this morning.



I will not be surprised to see hangers/blasters follow suit in the near future.
