The fact that people forgot , I had to write it on my hand to remember, shows many collectors are not too bothered anymore . It is still annoying that the old time collector can't wait and buy as they please . Not sure it will change unless they make more product which will saturate the market and drive down prices or another company comes in and gives more options. It is probably not desirable however . Not sure what the answer is .
i am a member and happy to buy 4 boxes of optimum and that's it not buy any in the general sale i send a message to select to try that but you no they do not care who buys it sold out they have there money what pisses me off why not give me 5 minutes to checkout then i have them in my cart because i missed capta one time and for the first time ask to enter a 6 digit code new i had no chance when that happen and was out at 5.02 just bots are quicker and capta will not stop themIf Select truly wanted to "get the product in as many collectors hands as possible" (which it literally says on their website) they would lower box limits. What's fairly obvious is they've decided there's a cutoff point where the logistical cost of fulfilling so many unique orders just isn't worth the resources required.
A slightly more complicated solution would be to increase SCC membership but actually assess the applications on merit (eg. if no previous purchases on the Select website this would be an automatic decline). With an increased amount of quality SCC memberships then increase the SCC box limit but stipulate they can not also participate in the public sale. What product is left for the public then leave for the bots and Johnny come lately's to fight over.
I know personally I would gladly accept a guaranteed slightly less number of boxes with one postage cost, than to have to fight in the public sale and risk missing out to flippers and those who have been in the hobby for five minutes.
The thing with NBA there is a glut of products here only 4 or 5 sets a yr. I actually believe for speculators box selling is the go so will continue for a while. As a collector it’s not like the old days so you just have to make the changes if you want to keep collecting. Not a cheap hobby card collecting any more.
I think the drop is ok atm, save for bots clearly having a laugh with the shopify setup.
If you prepare, you should be ok.
It’s heaps better than the staggered drops they had last brilliance
My question is if they have released Brilliance this year then is this our premium drop for 2022 (ie no Supremacy repeat)?
I sold 3 Prestige on ebay last week but that's it for me. I am not selling at charity ratesGood. Cause I think im going to sit on my brilliance boxes (maybe)... and im sitting on my prestige boxes (just wasnt much i wanted from the set when it dropped so i didnt open)..
... ... ... so now im out of money
Yea if you've picked up anything I've said over the journey I am not afraid of the old buy, don't open and hold long term game.I sold 3 Prestige on ebay last week but that's it for me. I am not selling at charity rates

Haven't quite mastered the 'sell for profit' bit yet though
But then I actually have sell it...Wait the market out. Once it dries up, you're the king

Selling singles - happy to do it all day. Selling sealed product... My inner Golum tends to kick in
Im in one of those paradox situations...I like selling sealed stuff. I really hope the people hit big because I can't.
Im in one of those paradox situations...
I've only ever hit good cards when I open with my wife, who enjoys it, but then starts asking questions about how much I spend, so I don't open with her, then I hit bad things...
