Wait, how does panini expect us to pay for that without another stimulus check?

If his rpa/autos are redemptions, no one in their right mind (unless you're a breaker i guess (?)) should be buying a box at initial prices. Especially if you're trying to hold and sell later for profit

The LaMelo is at a completely different angle than the other cards with different lighting. I think it's a mock.

The FOTL price is absolutely insane. I don't feel bad for anybody who buys this at any price. It is going to be a bloodbath.

$3,500 minimum to get an RPA of Aleksej Pokusevski or Zeke Nnaji, a couple sticker autos and a junk memorabilia card.

LOL yup, the only people who can afford to buy high end wax at these rip-off price points (with fake Lamelo RPAs) are breakers, who in turn are making a killing off of gamblers buying into their breaks. Panini, their distributors, and breakers are the only ones still eating good in this hobby

For comparison, last year's started at $30K and I believe they "sold out" at the floor ($7000 or $7500).

Market is around $14-15K now?

Haha, the card companies are always about 12-18 months behind "reality."

After labor day, most people may actually have to get back to work and quit their day jobs as "sports cards investment specialists".

They were never bought with those.
Houses are not dropping in price so money has not ran out.

jcardstore · 08-02-2021, 07:20 AM

People aren't borrowing against their house to bust wax.

You missed the point.
Money flow is not running out as stocks/houses are still going up everywhere.

Also houses are being used as atm's for cars, vacations, stocks, etc.
Not actually that uncommon.

Average house around me is 800k. That will be 1500 sq. Small back yard.
Not a great area/city either.

Interests too low for anything but spending/borrowing

Is LaMelo confirmed to be live?

Apparently, but not even sure enough boxes will be opened to even find out

ninjacookies · 08-09-2021, 10:52 PM

Panini photogs have yet to capture a flattering snap of MB.

He's either mouth-breathing or looks like he's trying to hold a pose for Kevin Spacey against his will.

Oh enough boxes will be ripped for sure; by all the breakers taking advantage of all the gamblers

And by the few Youtubers who have enough subscribers to cover the cost of a box/case via clicks

This is going to bother me.

MB=... Malcolm Brogdon? Marvin Bagley? Malik Beasley? Mo Bamba?

LaMelo Ball seems the obvious guess given the picture in the first post (and his apparent new "MB" signature as seen elsewhere https://www.blowoutforums.com/showpo...&postcount=105)...

It almost looks like he is just using initials now if you look at the full signature the M and the B kinda match up so it looks like he got lazy and just signing MB (Melo Ball) just my guess

You're definitely right, and I was not close to figuring it out. Thanks.

bigjbasketball · 08-10-2021, 11:33 AM

Some people have speculated that Melo either stole the same signature as Miles Bridges or had him sign his cards (or Panini just photoshopped Bridges’ auto since the LaMelo auto on the picture shown by Panini looked very similar to Bridges). So I guess the MB could be Melo Ball or Miles Bridges in this case, haha.

sportsfanatic · 08-10-2021, 04:18 PM

All the people speculating that Miles Bridges was signing for Lamelo were just trolling (or at least the people with enough common sense) lol. He just shortened his auto to MB for Melo Ball, probably b/c he realized there's thousands of redemptions from Panini coming his way for this year's products. Although he is the type of kid who probably could care less about fulfilling all his redemptions

Asian62150 · 08-10-2021, 05:06 PM

Hobby boxes available tomorrow for $3750.

Wonder how long they're going to sit on the website this time...

LaMelo /49 is on ebay. Can't wait to see what the /99 get listed at.

"The enclosed officially licensed material is not associated with any specific player, game, or event."

So basically it's just an officially licensed material that Panini could have bought from Dick's Sporting Goods? LaMelo didn't need to wear it, touch it, or even be in the same room as the jersey. Although if he signed the cards, I guess that means he was in the same room as the piece of material.

$40K for not even the true RPA?? Lmfao. The seller thinks we're still at the height of the market smh
