Preorder basketball boxes thread

Anyone going for the new stuff? (Hoops/Donruss)

$300+ for Hoops and $500+ for Donruss with only one auto is a big no from me.

I have learnt a bit from this year, so will definitely be targeting only the big ticket products for holding next year. Not sure i will even buy any retail (unless i get it at kmart/target)

Cherry did two quick drops of Hoops @ $200 on Saturday morning (one box per household).
Hoops 92-93-94 still scar me, therefore I shoulder arms like Cameron Green.

Yeah i saw the drop (thats what prompted me to check NFL and Prizm hobby was there so grabbed that).

I saw that and Donruss and then checked the sell sheet and saw its now only one auto! Absolutely no chance i would pay 200 for hoops hobby with 1 auto. I was expecting maybe $150 to start, but 200/250 is ridiculous.

I had fun with hoops fat packs and blasters this year, so i might grab a couple of those when they are out just to get a nice $1 patch card

I’d do Chronicles if any but I still haven’t got a big itch atm with anything

I opened a Recon box on Saturday. I got lucky with a half decent auto, but man i was one auto away from a $50 box

Haha you got lucky my friend! Let me know if you want to move any. My PC is sh**ty autos.

I got Zion Rookie year Mosaic cells at $30 -$35 if I remember and they are fun.

I'll try tomorrow. Thanks

Sounds a little over priced to me. Those are reseller prices.

I guess that's the aim. Stop these resellers buying heaps and selling at 40/50 buck profit on their own page.

Lots of people should get a chance now, but i will only walk into my shop and get one if available

So it took 11 mins for Mosaic Blaster to sell out at EB!

Times they are a'changin

looks like they've taken away zippay as an option for NBA preorders? - that would def affect selling out times.
you can still use it on other preorders, i checked.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

I grabbed some Chronicles - pretty happy with that

 

[Andrew111]

I think the price certainly made a big difference. I don't mind paying a bit extra for Mosaic because its a premium product. I do like chronicles a lot as well.

 

[Warsome]

Got some Mosaic and Chronicles, but yeah it is cheaper to buy from the US at these prices.

 

[Iron Clad Lou]

Imagine paying $75 for Chronicles. I just don't see it.

Just bought a box of the Jersey Fusion

In case you're wondering.... they're shit! Don't buy them!

 

[Warsome]

Exactly. You could buy around 15 Lamelo Chronicles singles for that price ($75), and doing so would beat the value of the sealed product 99% of the time. But breaking is for fun and not generally good value.

 

[TAB1980]

Anyone that pays $20,000 for a Jordan 1 of 1 from jersey fusion is a moron. Simple.

I reckon a grade 4 art class could come up with a better looking product.

Chronicles is one of my fav breaks of all time. Well..... 18-19 was at least! So many brands in the one product. can't say for this until I open.

Me too. Actually I have no problem paying more for Chronicles. They are always a good rip. Not as shiny as prizm and Select but I don't care. Luminance is sick.
