Here's the story for everyone and they can decide on your store.

I pre-ordered over $10k of prizm retail this year, three cases of which from this store. My usual distributor was raising prices on me where previously I was getting under MSRP so I took a gamble with a big pre-order from this store to supplement. I received two cases however both cases were clearly already opened previously (panini tape ripped up). To be fair, I personally broke a bunch of these boxes and watched my buyers rip a case, there were silvers of Zion/Ja inside thankfully.

The last case was never delivered and honestly given the first two had clearly been broken open already, I wasn't eager to get it anymore. I was honored a refund, however the case price had nearly doubled at that point from what I paid.

My complaint is I don't know why my cases were cracked open to "check for manufacturer quality" or whatever the reason for doing so was. I was also tired of emailing and being ignored multiple times before getting a response. I have no idea if the site is a sham because as I said the cards seemed fine and there were big silvers pulled, but I certainly don't feel good about only getting part of my order because somebody is checking quality for me by opening a box first despite buying cases.

the delivery from which your cases came from arrived at my home and i literally put a new label on it and sent it back with the same driver from UPS, they were never opened. Now if your talking about us removing the shipping label that sent it to us we always do that.

We got a second shipment with the remaining cases later that same day which also had your 3rd to be shipped case and the product was damaged so we had to open those to check the boxes.

To anyone looking for this product , its up to you as a buyer who you buy from it wont hurt our feelings either way. It sucked what happened with some of our prizm but things happen. We done over 2k in successful transactions which is pretty good for a run from home card business.

Either way like I said above, I'm going to get banned from the forum for talking about this on here anyway.

These look interesting! I’m also hoping this means Prizm Mosaic is no more. Maybe Fast Break will be next...I hope so. We only need one version.

Thanks for the headsup. Was in the toy section at Walmart last night and had to take a wiz. Thankfully had BO open and did some google searching. Scooped up the last 8 cello boxes with a 5 percent coupon to make me feel slightly less guilty about tossing away money on a subpar release.

Doinitrite?

Would appreciate a dm on where to purchase some Mosaic. TIA

While you were taking a wiz in the toy section the price went up to $600 for a blaster case. Cellos still at $140, I think they opened at $120.

Preordered 2 cello boxes and 4 blasters. This looks like it could be nice. Hopefully better Zion and Ja photos than prizm and optic.

Some images are on the first page ITT...looks like actual in-game action shots!

[allstarcomics]

in for a chunk of this Looks like a nice alternative to optic/prizm for the non zillionaires

[bigjbasketball]

I'm just hoping people don't go crazy for this stuff like they do for Prizm/Optic. I don't think I can handle any more constant Target/Walmart runs for a third product in one season. For me, I'll pick some of this up if I happen upon it, but I won't go crazy searching for it.

In your opinion, should we?

I can't speak for the other fella's experience but as far as mine goes I purchased from All About The Hobby several times and have been happy with each transaction.

[bdrr]

Yikes. Looks awful this year.

[Ra3xWraith]

These look to be only increasing as I've seen multiple sites increasing their pre-order prices for Cello Boxes and Blasters. From the first look pics on the first page where it is ACTUAL action shots... these cards might be some of the best looking out of the sets. Certainly not worthy of a "boi" moniker yet (Prizm-bois & Optic-bois), but I'm looking forward to breaking it at as close to MSRP as possible.

these are the new Optic

I just got back into Basketball late in the year last year living in Dallas and missing the initial Luka hype :/

Of all the sets that I've seen since being back in the Hobby... my top 5 sets that I like to keep because of looks are: Obsidian, Court Kings, Optic, Revolution and Mosaic (if they really do ship looking this good)

I got mine from an LCS that has an online store that's tied to their inventory.

It was available to US retail distributors weeks ago and will certainly be in Walmart/Target etc. Panini may just have not offered Hobby yet given it is still 2 months out.

Have they confirmed Hobby? Thought this was replacing Threads and Status as the "Retail Exclusive"? (Even though Threads had their Panini ONLINE ONLY Hobby boxes of /199 15 card boxes)
