I was referring to the actual sealed box. Seems like the cards move around in the sealed box unlike the regular sets. Makes me nervous there will be damage if I do open the sets, so I am leaving sealed as well. Targets packaging does suck though.

$140+tax on the Optic Retail Box...they actually had a picture of a regular Donruss Retail Box.

Illusions blasters are $35+tax and still available if you were interested.

People in this hobby are dumb as #@#@#@#@. Tanking the Target Pulsar cards. I sold the Fanatics LaMelo for $120. People putting up the pulsars for $60. People have no business sense. Go back to your day jobs.

I wouldn't assume everyone who sells low is merely stupid. Maybe they want or need cash immediately for a big expense. Been there myself.

Also, have you considered that sellers with low prices are probably not going to get hit with as many obnoxious returns and chargebacks.

Don't buy a set if you can't afford it. Returns and chargebacks wouldn't happen for this card. Were not talking about the idiots buying his hoops rookie for like $300.I said I sold the Silver Wave for $120 on ebay multiple times. It's cool though. I'll hold.

After the initial low-ball rush and most of the cards have sold is when the actual market worth will show out. If you can't sell immediately after release give it some time for supply to diminish..

How about everyone just let everyone else buy and sell at the prices they want to buy and sell at.

Those Donruss sets are heavy! Tracking says 8 pound for two. Hope they're not rolling around in transit. Be pretty ridiculous having to order a full case just to avoid smashed corners.

Are the cards in the Donruss Football Holo set from Target, gold or silver in nature?

They are weirdly heavy yet very thin at the same time. Very nice cards in hand. For Donruss, definitely fits the premium bill for sure. Was very pleasantly surprised how nice they are in hand. Scans don’t do them justice.

Since Walmart's CISO is so focused on app security, Target must be doing the same. This would explain first the app forcing me to retype shipping information (first optic BKB drop) and to reenter Redcard cc number (last week for the Absolute blasters). Thankfully the sets and blasters were in stock for a full day. Time to delete that app I think.

Okay somebody sent me straight here. I read the reviews on Target and it sounds like a couple of people are saying that you get 2 copies of each rated rookie. I have three of them coming so I have not seen them yet. Am I just miss reading this?

Saw one small reference to that in there but perhaps they were referring to something else. Like buying 1 of each of the 2 types of sets or something.

Definitely only 1 of each in these. Still, a very good product at an unbeatable price. These are the nicest Donruss cards I've ever seen in hand, even if I'm not a huge fan of this years design. They are almost a plastic stock and the holo tech on these make them almost feel like a chrome card. They are thin yet heavy. Jones currently pays for a box still after fees. Cannot beat that guarantee. Having all the image variations (and with Brady having 3 total cards in the complete set) makes this one of the easiest products to make money on selling singles since peak Zion.

And I especially feel the quality control on these is fairly solid and I know customers will love the premium feel to these. Win win for all.
