persuade me on what to collect this season

gunnerhodgson · 02-07-2023, 03:56 PM

The past couple of years I have collected revolution. specifically I collect the entire base set, but all parallels. I don't care which parallel a card is, but I get one of each parallel. Revolution's design is pretty fun, and the boxes are "reasonable".
I'm thinking of mixing it up this year though. I'd still collect the same way - a complete set of all the base cards as parallels, with an example of each parallel. I like the thought of what I collect having a retail version so I can grab some cheap stuff at the store. I also like the thought of the possibility of on-card autos, since that greatly increases my upside (I don't collect the autos, I just sell them to hopefully recoup most of my cost). Shiny/fun is nice. I sell rookies/inserts/stars or anything with value that I don't collect on sportlots or comc or ebay. I'm leaning towards donruss optic, or crossing my fingers that photogenic gets a non-online-only release and is reasonably priced and has on-card autos (that's along wish list, I know).

Any thoughts?

The answer is: Who is Cam Thomas?

Photogenic, Spectra and Recon were this year's little bright spots right? Personally, I might find a Recon insert that I liked....

SGA…..making the leap individually…first ASG coming, near league leading scorer, Thunder competitive, hopefully Chet healthy and ready for next season, a nice lil supporting cast already, a boat load of draft picks still…

Even in a rough market…SGA is value to me still usually bc he looks like a budding superstar but his prices haven’t quite caught up to the hype and progress.

Btw…2019-20 Revolution my fave modern set. Literally obsessed with it forever. Zion and Ja parallels from that year are super nasty looking

Bump as SGA just had a nice night on Natl TV to steal the show as much as they could with a nice team win. Thunder have a bright future as things currently stand.

Gunner is looking for product suggestions. Origins is interesting and colorful.

Since you said on card autos included I think you already knew the answer in optic, but other than optic I’d do illusions since you want retail also , but it’s sticker autos … if not optic I’d go with illusions, obsidian or origins .. if you like thick cards go with origins cause these cards are broliccc
