Can't blame a company for capitalizing on the best product of the time. Just hoping this doesn't bleed into every release.

I would think legally they have to disclose how many boxes are involved. You can't have a Dutch Auction and allow the seller to determine the number of boxes after the auction. For those unaware, in a Dutch Auction everyone will end up paying the same price.

Wonder how long the wait will be for it to come down to the $150-200 range? Only way I’m in. Lol Guess I’m out. I’ve never gotten in on FOTL but I do always enjoy the Prizm thread the day it drops. Lots of reading to get me through the work day.

Good for panini, resellers will have a hard time lol

welp, was fun while it lasted. here's hoping they aren't all like this, kind of defeats the entire purpose of FOTL in the first place.

Should be fun to watch on Monday, but I won’t be a participant. . . unless BO puts out a bounty above the initial asking price before it begins.

What a joke! At least we don't have to waste time with this. Wow people FOTL last 2 whole seasons :0 .. literally the term "3rd time is the charm" is when panini screws everything up. 2 successful years of helping some collectors get prizm at the suggested retail price now it's all about their max profit

I'll miss seeing you not pull a Zion shimmer in this. Because that's inevitably what will be in your box if you ever decided to get one.

Right! Doesn't this make every FOTL produced before this soar? Congrats to the people that held!

Also a 10 card box???? What happened to the regular boxes like last year. You can't even pull regular cards out of this :/ example last year a pulled a Garnett gold prizm so you can't even pull that. The purpose was to help collectors get MSRP and an extra card (blue to /7) now you get like 134 less cards than a hobby box
