My LCS is selling these for $40 a pack. Same as hobby. Insanity. I was still buying 2018-19 fast break boxes for <$100 until November 2019.

Who knew this would be the deathblow to bots?

Surprised if it sells out at 3x what they had it listed at a few weeks ago. With tax it is about the same price as buying through BO.

Tim · 03-02-2020, 11:27 AM

They probably couldn't get BO to buy any more.

bravesfan#1 · 03-02-2020, 11:29 AM

BO and competitors priced around $350/box.

I'm staying away though. Good for breakers if they are looking for supply, overpriced for most anyone else.

Lol $320 for fast break Optic.

packfan15412 · 03-02-2020, 11:30 AM

can still get them cheaper than you can on ebay... I just snagged 2 boxes because I expect the prices to keep climbing with the way the Zion and Morant just played this weekend! Nothing wrong with keeping them sealed and stashed away.

Jhedges · 03-02-2020, 11:30 AM

What a time to be alive!

fdjizm · 03-02-2020, 11:32 AM

Rip off.

I DYING laughing right now.

Panini playing the speculator game. Hoards Optic Fast Break junk. Waits for big Zion game. Drops career high on national TV against the Lakers, and drops it at 4x what MSRP was last year. Unbelievable!

These boxes have been steadily going lower on BO and competitor sites

But that isn't it...

Panini physically had it listed on their website with a link for $105 a box during the Optic Hobby Box release.

I know! Can't say exactly why that happened, but pretty clear that Panini opted to hold on to this stuff until the rest had released and retail ran dry. Crazy times!

tmar214 · 03-02-2020, 11:43 AM

Optic fast break is horrible this year. 2018 optic fast break was ~185 a box on BO up until a few weeks ago. Still only 245 I dont see why 2019 is so high.

prizm fast break >>>>> optic fast break

For the same price its not even close.

Bob Ross · 03-02-2020, 11:44 AM

Post link originally for $105. Take link down. Put link back up weeks later at $315.

Solid company we have here.

mindcycle · 03-02-2020, 11:48 AM

$320 for Optic "2nd tier" fastbreak product..

Better make that money fast while the bball card market is hot!

oldgoldy97 · 03-02-2020, 11:49 AM

Not interested.

DKfxr · 03-02-2020, 11:51 AM

Ill be honest, I'm surprised they arent already sold out

Hope they don't, starting to dislike Panini's antics.

It is cheaper to buy them through BO. No tax and they have a coupon promotion going on.

oldschooldude · 03-02-2020, 11:55 AM

Panini simply realized they are the only ones that can and do sell NBA trading cards and they are taking advantage of this market. No different than re-sellers, except it's the actual vendor. Their a monopoly and finally realized it is all.

benz35 · 03-02-2020, 11:55 AM

anyone have 20% off code?

They've been reselling since they dropped the Dutch Auction and the Blockchain cards man...
