First Buzz: 2019-20 Donruss Optic basketball cards

[Sbrown3583]

Pretty good day today. 9 at 1 store and 3 at another. Also couldn’t pass up 4 for $280 deal on Facebook. I’ll take it. Congrats to ever who found some today!

split the 4 boxes that our rep put out at our store with another guy who was actually there first but really cool about it. Hit the base Ja/Zion run in one and the the Hyper Pink Ja/Zion run in the other. Very happy to have found a little.

At least Target you have a chance since a lot of them have placed limits now. Have found a bunch of Bowman Mega boxes at the stores with limits.

DFW is way saturated. I can't go to any store without seeing at least two other people searching.

Got 9 today. Wasnt even a hassle. I went in, hardly any people around...leisurely walked up to 9 of them. Tossed them in the cart and didnt even get rushed. In a month or 2 these will be worth 100-120. This might be the time I get over the hump and sell sealed. Thats an awful long time with them staring at me though!

On a side note...think its about month 3 with absolutely no cards stocked at Target. Strange...

Beatin' to all stores today. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Ninge.

Actually got lucky and found 32 the last 3 days. Sure put in a lot of driving to get it though but I honestly enjoyed the chase.

[walklikeagiant7]

Anyone know why the hyper pinks have those lines in them? I’ve opened two of my 9 megas and the hypers had a lot of print lines on them. Which sucks cuz I got a Giannis, Luka, LeBron, & RJ Barrett. Is this just something that happens to a lot of the hyper pinks? Am I just stuck w what I got ?

Yes, hyper pinks are print line (i believe that's what they are) heavy. I really couldn't tell you how that impacts the grading process, but i assume it knocks them down a lot. Hyper pinks that are clean though are really really nice looking imo.

"Hyper" and "Shock" effect cards tend to have print defects the most often. It does tend to affect grading when the misprint is obvious

Per this board, every Walmart got something so seems like something shady was going on.

I hit 9 wal marts in my city. 7 had optic, only 2 have (1) mosaic pink pack. If the card display is only 2 shelves, they didnt get anything.

For all you dudes running to the store to pick up some last minute 4th essentials, I’ve heard of 3 stores in ATL that have stocked today. Saw 1 in person... happy 4th and be safe!

[Spacemanspif]

Is there a tracker for Optic black, or does anyone know how many Zion / Ja / Lebron 1/1 or Gold have already been pulled?

I have one box of hobby left, and was surprised they haven’t appreciated much, considering how much everything else has.

[packfan15412]

What is everyones thoughts... is this a 1-2 week release or will we see this the next few weeks a few boxes at a time?

[walklikeagiant7]

Anyone have a full list of all the parallels including choice and such?

I too would like to know these things. I’m looking for SGA black /1, black FastBreak /1, green /5, fast break blue /50, & gold vinyl /1 & more if I can find a complete list of all parallels.

Looking for all these.
Thanks.

Sorry for the scattered posts, I am new to the forums, and new to collecting parallels. Still learning the lingo.

I’d be surprised if we see anymore get stocked.

Got 5 megas for $400 shipped. I hope this was a good price

I think it is. I bought in bulk at $70/per this past weekend. They were selling for $120 before this random round of mega restocks. Don't see why they don't return to that in a month especially with actually basketball back in a month and mosaic crumbling like we knew it would eventually.

The better question is do you hold long term because 18-19 optic walmart megas are at $250/box now
