I would love something new.
Hard to imagine what they would possibly go with, but it would have to mimic something NBA are doing.

It's boring and the same old stuff year on year
I personally can’t believe Hobby boxes are still available for pre-order from some hobby stores.
Only 8400 boxes made as opposed to roughly 24,000 last year.
Also the hobby product is a massive improvement on last year.
I basically see the hobby set this year as a “prestige” release. Same price point with all the platinum predictors.

If sales are slow a number of reasons . Inflation, people are cutting back a lot. Two, it is series 1 aimed mainly at the younger market . Three, people have card fatigue.Four, less to be made than the higher end market for box sellers. Leaves more cards for actual collectors, like me which I like.
Agree with most of that. The retail boxes were never going to sell out for months. But I’m still surprised that the Hobby boxes are so readily available.
Probably a good indication of the effect inflation has had on the disposable income of collectors.
I have loaded up on hobby boxes @ $140 from different hobby shops. I think it is decent value right now, but if select reveal another secret case hit in this release, it will be even better value.
Be interesting to see whether the hobby boxes sell out in the general sale on Sunday.
Pretty underwhelming to be honest. Not sure what they were thinking with a couple of the designs, such as the Carbon holo. That is downright lazy in my opinion.
As for the Iconic card, for a card that is numbered to 70 and the rarest card in the set other than the Instant Win and case cards, I would have thought it would have been a bit better than that. But hey, that's my view on things.

I brought a case of retail as it’s the only time you can get a case anymore since hobby releases only allow two boxes to be purchased.
The hobby version seems like an afterthought, with the carbon copy which doesn’t add much value and the spectrum which are one per 2 boxes. I’m surprised there is no bigger hit in the hobby, will be interesting to see if there is a surprise hit.

Adam there are some companies offering hobby boxes for sale but limited and I never do good in general public offerings - just too slow but I go in group breaks and have been lucky and unlucky - I remember a few years ago I missed out on high end AFL must have been a supremacy I think but was able to buy 4 boxes from 2 retailers at standard prices and I hit 2 captains signatures - the Bont and Gawn and I am a Dees fan so happy
True but I was thinking what unique insert sets hobby has over retail, which is only the carbon and spectrum. With rarer versions of the predictor insert sets. Last year they had the virtuoso autos which were the big hits which were exclusive to hobby.
