Not a big deal but since they’re charging me now for them (and not waiting to make sure they’re in stock to ship before charging), I’m assuming that means all 144 hobby boxes are guaranteed to come on November 26

Fine by me

Hope it drops to $50 soon. Too bad for the guys that bought at $72.

Couldn't have been a very well known pre-sale. Would make it more enticing if majority of the orders came from BO before it sold out.
I had been searching for Contenders Draft blasters since the product came out. I discovered when I put in 2019 Hoops Panini that it would show all 2019 sports cards. I think it was last week when I found Prizm football presales but it was all already sold out. Last night was just pure luck that I found Prizm basketball up.

Walmart and Target both are weird in trying to search for specific product names. I found that out from being skunked on Bowman baseball megas this year.

Only reason it keeps coming back up in stock is the the purchasing being declined with the fraud alerts. My dad and I both used paypal and credit card payments on walmart and got a fraud alert and/or call each time.
You just use a chrome plugin that alerts you when there are changes to a section of a website. You set the interval to check it. In this case the trading card section of Walmart’s website.

OP, I think the least we can do for you is send some freebies for the info.

I think it's just a hold and it goes through when they ship

Why? Look at last year. This stuff was so easy to get.

Zion. Zion. Zion. I get it. But people ordering mass quantities better be doing it to rip. There will be reload after reload, just like last year.

That's what terrifies me about this. I bought Retail Boxes at 80 bucks on pre-sale...it's been a year and they still haven't reach those prices. I think it's gonna take at least a couple of years (and Luka blowing up) for those to go up.

That's why I didn't go all-in on the Megas or Rack Packs. I'm sticking to retail boxes and Gravity (if I can find them), I have enough to bust and finish the sets.

It's going to be tougher finding Prizm this year. Even if they crank the presses and increase prices. People are salivating for Prizm. The mouthbreathers will be hitting Walmart and Target at full force. Save some for the kids they will not.

Just look at what happened for draft contenders. Prizm is THE product for basketball. I can only imagine the frenzy as the seasons draws near.

I really don't think so. As stated above Walmart will continue to reload and reload. In addition, Target will do the same. Unless someone really steps up, the price monopoly is going to be even worse than last year. Before Trae blew up there wasn't a silver over $30-35 that wasn't Luka when the market was flooded. I know Zion has all the hype in the world, but Luka had a really really good rookie year and look what his silver sells for right now.

Obviously, if you can rip/flip quick you will be just fine. However, I don't see this being that hard to get your hands on. Hell, people were finding it a gas stations last year. There is absolutely no way with Zion that they will make less than they did in 18-19. I wouldn't touch anything that wasn't #'d Zion. The time you incorporate fees/shipping, I really don't see much meat on the bone for those who think they're going to flip sealed and get rich. I guess what I am saying is as always, make sure you can afford what you buy. There will be plenty of this stuff available.

You buy these Walmart ones to have something to open at retail, and not having to drive all around town to every target/Walmart. That’s that.

I saw the Zion hype first hand at the National, only thing I have ever seen that was even close was Lebron and the Bush/Young/Leinart hype in 06. I personally bought to rip so I dont have to go looking for them, but i think the guys who bought to flip will be okay.
