Looks like the break has sold out in both sites. Wow! I know Ken Goldin bought a spot or spot(s). Has the Lamelo logoman auto been pulled? If not, then that is another incentive to getting into this break. Too rich for my blood, but should be fun or heartbreaking to see depending on how you see it lol.

Should be a fun break to watch. I don't get the hate though from people knocking the people joining. If you have $40k to spend on a spot in this break, then money is probably not an issue. Not a break for us, but I'll be watching for entertainment purposes.

There's some big players in the sports card collecting world for sure. I sold a card awhile back to one of the founders of DraftKings. Not a celebrity but i still thought it was pretty neat. You just never know who collects cards.

Didn't that guy rob a bank or something? I can't remember the whole story. Might not even be the same person i'm thinking of. The one i'm thinking of they were cracking open cases of Exquisite like a kid ripping open gifts on Christmas morning.

Atty. Fraud stole client money as an employee I believe in the Philippines. I remember seeing an article but I can't find it now.

Yes, I was under the impression they were some type of shipping company, import/export company and gotten in some type of illicit activity. That break was nuts seeing what was pulled.There is a terrible copy on Youtube the last I checked.

It's not a break for us because we're priced out since 2019. The hate is there because of breaks driving up demand, which drives up the prices, and make the products unaffordable for those who used to be able to open them.

100%

Even if you did break (I used to occasionally) you could buy a spot with a guaranteed card in a Flawless break for maybe a couple hundred at most. Now it’s a couple thousand. It’s gotten to the point of insanity where the box hit rarely even covers 50% of the cost.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this junk is being pushed to celebrities as they’re really the only one’s who can afford it at this point.

Only $80K and not the hyped $300K? These days, high-end is only for either celebrities playing with monopoly $ or a small group of individuals laundering their $

I'm curious to see if Drake will be live on cam to watch this break. Pretty sure we will see Shyne and Ken G. Maybe Steve Aoki in it too?

So they're breaking 15 cases of hobby and 10 cases of FOTL. i don't think Panini would include the biggest hits in the product (Lebron triple logoman, Lamelo logoman auto etc) in FOTL cases. they usually don't. And FOTL cases are usually terrible; nobody gives a damn about the 2 FOTL "exclusive" bronze "diamond" cards. so how many of these fellas who bought a $40K spot realize that they really bought into a 15 case and not a 25 case break?...

I sold a card to an address in Malibu. When I looked at the name, I realized it was one of Michael Eisner's (former Disney CEO) kids.

Justin Herbert black field level was in a FOTL Select box so anything is possible with Panini. No point paying extra for a FOTL box for the extra /3 diamond card if no chance for a big hit.
