centering sucks on soccer and UFC too.

the quality has dropped dramatically across the board.

Cards dont need to have 50/50 centering to get a 10.

At my target people were upset because they thought it was 1 item per configuration (1 blaster, 1 cello, 1 fat pack) instead of just one item per day period.

Sucks to be a flipper now I guess. I can’t think of anything I care less about than the feelings of guys who are mad because their free money gravy train is coming to an end. Great job by Target! And where are all the people who just a few days ago said Target wouldn’t be able to implement this?

I'm actually laughing at Twitter Posts now. Guys with their panties in a bunch because they were only allowed a single pack of Opening Day Baseball or Pokemon.

They really have done more than I thought they would in a short period of time. My target had 1 item total today where they took a photo of you at the counter when purchasing the 1 box, and your'e not allowed to buy another box from the target on the same day. It's completely nuts, but something had to be done to prevent people from pitching tents outside of Target.

I've been saying everything will be online for months now, it's not new. It will happen.

Yep one target asked for ID and wrote down your last name on a sheet of paper. You dont need an id to vote but you need an id to buy cards. Welcome to 2021

Blaster from my "limit 1 per person per day" purchase on Friday. Solid box and am happy with my pulls!

I'm a Warriors fan so the "Kevon Paschall" error card is pretty cool lol

Schlubs are trying to sell Rodney Hoods as error cards.

I think that card looks better than the none mis printed cards.

I'm sorry, I just don't see that picture as "iconic".



Mini-Me LeBron or Space Jam LeBron, sure....

But yeah, after a year, I was able to grab a Prizm blaster box. I opened it and lost money. Not sure how people buy them for $100 and expect to make out.

I agree. I think this was an attempt to pump failure. It’s a clown shot for the Lebron Homers.

I'm in San Jose. And yeah, was finally able to get a box after missing out the last couple weeks! The previous weeks (when Target was doing 1 per SKU, 3 items), the only people who were able to get Prizm or anything decent were the ones sleeping overnight on Thursdays.

They had maybe 10-12 boxes of Prizm and I lucked out (I showed up around 7:30am and was about 20th in line).

With the change to 1 item total, most of the flippers were picking the Select Blasters (the store had 30-40 of them) since before this past weekend, the resale on those was a bit higher.

Isn't this the Kobe tribute dunk? If so, the NBA Top Shot of this particular moment sold for over 300K. Pretty sure this is a pretty iconic moment in recent NBA history.

If you were guaranteed to get a good return at $100 then they would go up. Theyd be $200.
