Mike Trout Prismic Power Auto /99. The pain and jealousy is very real...

Ouch, that stings. That was probably a very nice card. Was the auto on card? I hate to ask but would make for a cool auto set if so…

Haha its alright I've had a whole night to cry it out at this point. It was a beautiful on card auto.

I pre ordered a Jumbo HTA for $530 and thought that was a good deal. Now I see them everywhere for $400 LOL yikes. Even my local guy has them for $450.

Just got 3 blasters from Dicks for $88

Use this method to get $20 off your order

Thank you, sir!

Appears that Dicks is sold out now

PDCCollectibles · 08-21-2021, 01:34 PM

Still getting gobbled up at $400+ per jumbo on EB....hobby world we live in right now.

Zauron · 08-21-2021, 01:54 PM

People really gushing to get creamed by this product huh.

I feel blasters are horrible odds for their new price point. $30 a blaster seems rough for what you get.

Bcwcardz · 08-21-2021, 03:38 PM

People happy to pay 30 bucks for blasters I guess. What’s the blaster price going to be by the time Fanatics takes over? 60? Give people a coupon so they think they got a deal at $50. People will eat it up.

I bought 2 jumbo packs last night. Quickly turned $90 into $10! Why I stick with vintage minus a random pack or 2 here or there to scratch an itch.

I know the math on that works out, but I just never realized those would be $45 per pack. WOW!

crazy4kinsler · 08-21-2021, 04:30 PM

I didn't either. But they were cheaper than across town at the new LCS ($50). Typically the LCS I went to is a lot higher than the other 2, but he was cheapest on this stuff. I could've gotten 3 blasters ($30 apiece) for the price of 2 jumbo packs and gotten more color, probably. Definitely more cards, but I guess that's the price you pay to get an auto.

Once we get past next week I can’t see many folks ponying up for hobby/jumbo at current prices. I’m not saying it will come down because there will be a ton of online breaks I’m sure that keep prices propped up but I’m guessing sales volume will severely decline to non group breakers. Coupled with a big PR increase and a recently hot wax market there will be a lot of cases in the closet on this one.
Every dog (product) will eventually have its share of breakout rookies but I find it hard to believe these have any real legs anywhere near current ask. Should be available at nearly half off within a year or two unless someone from this class really explodes.

Hits from 4 blasters.

A few of my pink refractors have serious print lines

Did anyone buying from Dick's read the product information at the bottom?

Product Information
DESIGN
200-Card Base Set - Featuring a mixture of rookie talent and veteran stars
2 Chrome autographed cards and 12 refractors in every box

2 autos and 12 refractors in every box?
Someone messed up. Isn't that a hobby box?

Imagine buying three hobby boxes at $90 on accident? How great would that be?

crazy4kinsler · 08-21-2021, 09:08 PM

I just went to buy some, but I guess it's sold out already. Everybody probably went to buy it after someone said it was hobby boxes instead of blasters.

It was blasters. Said value box. The photo is of a blaster box. The description on the bottom is the mistake.

crpav · 08-21-2021, 11:36 PM

So here we are huh? $45 to $50 a jumbo pack? Breaks where trans like the White Sox are around and over 200? Their checklist is pretty weak. The product is weak. Oh well and guess what? Some will still come and argue I’m wrong.

People vote with their money. People are buying.

People AND the product are weak. Can't believe people are buying this in hope of pulling what?
