This is the answer

I don’t. I haven’t purchased a current year release since 2020 Prizm Basketball.

What killed the hobby for you that you don't collect each year?

Nothing killed the hobby. I just think most current year products are crap. Bloated checklists, over produced, too expensive, and crap quality control. I buy some singles here and there. Mostly player runs that I’m continuing.

That Julio Rodriguez pic is awful! Why would they use that as his RC?

Agree with this... the adage to buy singles has only been further emphasized... buying wax literally has to be done as a pure consumption behavior at this point. And not because you think you'll get anything you really want

This! If you love overpriced, terrible odds, and bloated checklists...everything 2022 is for you.

i think the thing that most people in the card stuff forget is that all this 2022 stuff...

- its being made regardless of what we all think

- its being ripped regardless of what we all think

- its going to be "out there and available' for an eternity

if *you* MUST HAVE a rare parallel, then now is the time. Run of the mill stuff? pick it up in 2024

By my count 92 of the 200 will have the RC logo.
