Sorry, thought you meant your buddy gave it to you for close to MSRP. $130 for a $20 box from my “buddy,” hard pass

I have opened 5 blasters, 1 hanger and 1 cello thus far...

Lamelo base
Patrick Williams silver
Wiseman variation (pulled this 1 day before torn MCL)
Wiseman base
Halliburton green
Edwards emergent base
And a few other low end rookie silvers and base cards, etc.

All product has been purchased at MSRP. Is this worth $700 or so I could get reselling? Don’t know.. but I definitely feel that ripping has been fun and also I have made the money back i spent on the product, still a can’t miss ripping retail basketball product (as long as you can get 2-3 items).. just my observation

I would say it's not worth the $700 or so you could get reselling.

Opened a blaster. Dang near the same cards as my two hangers. Very frustrating.

The only good thing is prices on Prizm are dropping. Some online shops have hobby at $1625.

What should I be expecting to pay if I want a blaster? I'm seeing everywhere from 110-200.

The stores have released this stuff at a snails pace. Target dropped blasters twice. The last online release was 8,000 blasters. I see card prices dropping once those 8,000 blasters hit people, and once megas, cellos hit more.

I mean I doubt it right? Prices on them are already surprisingly low to me when every other retail format 5-6x MSRP.

Have megas been released yet?

I wonder if this Friday at Target could see a huge drop of Prizm and Select football.

That's a hell of a deal...I've been picking them at 40 bucks lately.

Yea I thought it was one heck of a deal too! I think Cellos are the most underrated format out there... You're guaranteed a rookie RWB plus a base rookie and a silver right? Or a green?

Not guaranteed on the Rookie RWB. Plenty of 3 vet packs. I had 1 rookie or more in all of my packs, but I think some without them exist. I believe you're guaranteed a Silver and Green though, from my experience and other openings I've seen.

It's amazing value. From what I've seen so far, you get:

0.5 RWB rookies
1.5 base rookies
1 silver
1 green
1 insert

The average rookie base is around 10 bucks, average RWB should be around 20. Just the return from both of those is 25 bucks. That's before getting into Silvers, Greens or the inserts.

red white and blue has always been the worst parallel imo. Green not far behind.

plenty of examples where RWB is actually under base price...

I don't think so. But AFAIK, they don't have any frequent time they drop, so it gets botted easily. Also, their website is crap. It's much harder to navigate through the third party resellers, and it seems like the pickup/delivery and walmart.com tabs clash with one another, making it difficult to see what comes in stock online.

Cellos this year are way better than last year. One of each color with most having multiple rookies, last year was only 1 color and 1 rookie

I learned the value is really low by checking past RWB value and I guess I know why.

They are the same as last year. Most had 1 silver and 1 green. I even got some with 2 silvers.

Maybe it’s just me but it feels like there’z more rookies in this years cellos. Opened a displays worth and pulled a a good amount of RC color and base. Some had 4 combined rcs, never remembering last years having that many.

Plus this year you open the pack and still have the allure of not knowing your color
