Solved.

Funny but kinda true. I have his same body type, i’m a hair under 6’2 I’m 35 and fluctuate between 195 and 245 regularly, it’s insane how much weight I can lose or gain in a relatively short period of time. Granted I eat a ton of healthy and a ton of crap food so I’m sure that has something to do with it.

In all honestly once he’s on the court he should be fine and dominate the league. He’s 20, still yet to enter his athletic prime. The issue will be keeping him disciplined in the offseason.

That had a great soundtrack for 1996.

For Zion, if he wants to commit to (and stay committed to) putting in the work on the diet off the court, then I don't doubt that he will start smashing on the court. I struggle daily with healthy eating, so I can empathize on that part of it.

While the world is holding their breath waiting for more Zion fat/skinny photos, I thought I would share a photo of Zion that recently appeared in my mailbox.

Beauty - I need to get one of those! I have a Cosmic Zion and it’s hands-down my favorite in the collection. Panini’s putrid selection of photos on Zion cards make this one even more attractive.

Thanks guys!

Wade, the Cosmics are actually my favorite, so I’m jealous there but Impacts are a very attractive second option. Couldn’t agree more on Panini’s Zion photo selections, Revolution is one of the best by far.

If Zion can overcome his injury concerns and continue the path to reach superstar status - - I think down the road collectors will look to his Revolution rookie as one of (if not the) top options.

With Panini giving us such horrible options for aesthetically pleasing Zion rookies, the Revolution has the great combination of: cool photography, lots of shine, and affordability.

I know Revolution isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's hard to argue there are many better options out there.

The Revolution picture is a million times better than the Optic picture, where he's about to make out with the ball.

awesome card! I have been waiting for a PSA 10 to surface, I can't believe these last 2 sales were the first Impacts to show up in 7 months. Just goes to show the panic selling of Prizm & Mosaic bass isn't scaring off the true 'clectors

PSA 10 Color Blast ended at $3100 and that’s with shill favorite consigner- Probstein. That’s fairly low even for a second year card, right?

I don’t think it’s low - 2nd year card / that’s a lot of $

That same card sold on 11/22 for $4,040 so it's dropped a grand that fast.

That's what I was thinking too but, it's a Color Blast PSA 10. A Giannis sold for $9k and a Tatum for $4200 a couple of weeks ago. They never popped again, so looks like the buyer paid those.

I've been eyeing them, hoping it wouldn't go past the $2.5k threshold, since Im not a fan of the photos used for his RC release.


Was a bit surprised at $3100, tbh, like you said, a $1k in a week is a steep drop. There's a few more gems in PWCC's monthly/premiere auction, we'll see where they land.

still quite a bit for a 2nd year card. Trae went for $3.5k so kinda makes sense that they'd be in the same ballpark. You can get a PSA Galactic or White Sparkle in the low $1k range and they all have that unknown but assumed ~25 PR range... so 3x for a Color Blast seems about right? I dunno. But with Zion there's still a ton of nice rookie stuff in that range I'd buy before a Color Blast

Thanks guys! This was a must have card for me when I saw it go up for auction. I walked into Burbank Sports Cards last month and almost bought a raw Zion Impact on the spot for 400 just because I loved it in hand so much.

Beat me out on that. Fell a sleep.

On today's episode of The Pat McAfee show, Boston Connor said he saw some photos of Z recently and he looks like a stallion.

Just gawjus, my man. By far the best photoselection of his rookie season.

More a Dollar General Anthony Fantano, but it means a lot coming from our resident Freddie Gauss.

Z making his return debut in the team showers like:



NAW bout to be folding boxers for the next 6 months.

Sadly sold half of my Zion collection this week. I hope he proves me wrong. I love the kid, and his abilities. I guess I’m just a pu$$y when it comes to risk tolerance.

[KhalDrogo]

Any news? I see on IG that he may be out for the season. Not sure how true that is. But the last report was that he was supposed to be back to ramping it up this week.

As much as I miss watching him play, I would actually be ok with this provided he spends this whole year getting his conditioning right and letting his body heal properly. Zion has the goods, but he’s got to get his body in shape for a career not just a season. Especially a season in which the Pels aren’t contenders.

I hear what you’re saying, but be careful what you’re wishing for. If they know he’s out for the season already, it’s because he needs a second surgery.
