2020 Panani Prizm baseball
2020 Topps Heritage baseball
2020 Topps series 1 baseball
2020 Topps series 2 baseball

Anything worth buying?

Dave and Adams had em for $289 last night. Blowouts got em for $324 this morning: https://www.blowoutcards.com/2018-19-panini-donruss-optic-basketball-42-card-mega-box.html

Blasters are $200 on BO

got ya. Initial thread you quoted the 19-20 Prizm so I assumed you meant $289 for the Mega Prizm which is an autocop
 
HarlemShakeStory HarlemShakeStory I feel you brother! It took me a minute to figure it all out myself. So many products and most of them are made by Panini (basketball and football at least)
 
Do you guys think I should sell my Robert rookie cards now or hold off, grade them, and sell later in hopes for more $$$?

I am torn.
 
Thanks. As much as I feel like I might know about 80’s and 90’s sometimes, I know zero about the stuff on shelves today.

You must be around my age (42)? Like you, it can be overwhelming with all the new stuff, so I just stay with what I like and know (I say that, but I’m just re-learning myself lol) and that’s basketball (Prizm, Optic, & Mosaic). And I stick that sport it for a few reasons:

1. I like basketball, so chances are I’ll be less apt to get bored and/or lose interest.
2. If the market tanks, at least I’ll still like what I have. I have a bunch of trash Orlando Magic players, but it’s ok, they’re my favorite NBA team.

Making money adds to the excitement, but at worst, at least I have trash that I still like. I use the same mentality with shoes. It’s rare I don’t buy shoes that I don’t wear or aren’t my size. At the very least, I can still wear them as beaters. If they go for a lot more than I’m comfortable with wearing, then they’re sold.; typically $500 is my cutoff. Hard for me to justify waking around it $500+ shoes. At that point, I’d rather just have the money.
 
19-20 42 count Walmart megas can still be had in the 120 ish range.

After restocks I saw them as low as 70. Probably the best value buy if you have the urge to rip something basketball in my opinion.

not a bad buy considering it’s about $41 out of store. Best time to buy is usually when stores restock even though it seems high, it just increases.

but this stuff is wild. Got a lot of new money coming in and posts I see throughout are people bragging and literally buying anything and everything (Panini baseball, chronicles college, prestige, score, Topps, bowman, etc) trying to flip then realizing there’s no market and complaining. Hell even repacks.

I’ve left tons of stuff on the wall cause I legit have no interest or I realize the flip wasn’t worth my time. Just funny to me when people do the opposite, buy first, think later and complain - especially now when some stores are denying returns.

Yep, the quick flippers take their money as fast as they can. Once restocks stop it drys up and prices go up. Breakers still need their product to open, LCS’s need inventory. Then you have people who buy up all they can and horde it.

out of all those baseball I would do series 1 but honestly I'll pass on everything. Products with no team logo is a pass for me
You should always pass on the Score too lol.

Baseball is my least favorite of the big three. Would only buy if it is a cool product. I realized the other day that I’ve never actually sold a card in my life. I like prizm because it reminds me of Topps Finest, but couldn’t identify any other line. Had no idea prizm baseball didn’t have logos.

I’m with you on basketball, especially with this year’s rookie class. Rule seems to be if you can find anything - buy it.

Panini overall doesn't have an MLB license so no team logos, they're able to produce cards because of deal with MLBPA. Love hoops too, but the basketball hobby game crazy right now haha.

Can anyone explain the difference between Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome? Thinking of pre-ordering some, but honestly don't know the difference. I've only ever bought Topps Chrome.
