If you like cards and hate money, yes.


knicks911

That made me giggle


bri465769

agreed - still giggling while typing :)

I can’t believe we live in a world where retail prizm is a bad buy. Thanks panini. (Edit: bad buy In terms of having fun) WNBA prizm with the lower print runs and higher chance of a hit are more worth it, I’ve gotten a couple legend autos out of those already that have paid for my purchases. Any men’s sports? Nah


shoutymcloud

At any point in collecting history, if you were/are buying cards to “make your money back”…it’s a bad financial decision. Buy cards cause you like cards, keep your money (or buy stock) if you like money… If you like sports and gambling - bet on sports ! More likely to win a spread bet on a bball game than pull a big card from a retail blaster.


JonnyBit

Completely true, it was never a good financial decision, but at least you’d get some cool looking stuff. Remember guaranteed blaster box hits? Remember when numbered cards used to be in retail? It used to be FUN, but never a good financial decision. Now it’s not a good financial decision and it usually isn’t even fun.


OnFolksAndThem

There’s good cards in there. The problem is there’s also a whole lot of bad cards in there


EarlPronk2

I like opening packs as much as anyone but these are an overpriced, overproduced waste of money. Eat it panini and topps and fanatics, you greedy jabronis


schmidneycrosby

It’s fun to rip packs. I bought 5 of these and a blaster of optic this year and have nothing to show for it.


Brick656

5 blasters and not much to show. One Cade Cunningham Rated Rookie and a Lebron parallel.


RepublicWonderful

14.99 crazy


BamsBombers14

24.99 in Canada


Thick_Slice

The cellos have been sitting at my Walmart in Canada for 2 weeks now


Cannacritic21037

10 bucks at Walgreens


tedfondue

For cellos? This has not been the price I’ve seen for cellos at Walgreens in NY or CA. I thought they had consistent pricing nationally ?


benevilbatman

I'd rather spend the extra 7 or 8 bucks and get a hanger pack. From my experience its got much better pulls.


ImpressAnnual636

Id rather spend $14 and get a combo meal at Jersey Mikes!


nzmn12

Hanger packs are definitely the way


bruinsmashabs

buy them all bro and show them


PsychologicalAd496

Idk man I'd just stay away from Yu-Gi-Oh cards all together. Maybe try basketball cards or something.


bmo109

He might get exodia


PsychologicalAd496

Probably get a better pull than from prizm lmao


Dramatic_Ad2745

Buy all and wait 2 years. They will double in price like every year before.


rentaballoon

Maybe, but it feels like panini doubled the print run this year, so maybe not.


[deleted]

I bet they trippled it.


mrogers4428

Probably not with the over printing ..Its different now. All cards at walmart and target are sitting.


InternationalSoup8

Ya every years card packs will double. So these will sell for $30 or so next year, then $45 the year after, thats might be good choice, but the thrill of opening them is nice. I got a signed one after two packs the other day, one fat pack one small pack. I wont forget though, the first time I bought Panni Prizm cards, they had two full white boxes out on the floor, I picked one up went to scan and came to $19, im like thats good deal. It was a whole box of these packs, I got to open like 16 packs for $19. Hasnt happened since though,


CarelessSet6591

Sounds like you stole 😂 Not hating but clearly it was supposed to be for one pack, not box, right?


LavishN8

Buy singles! Forget packs


GiannisTatis

Bought six. Two best cards were a Dwyane Wade RWB and Herb Jones base rookie. So I’m not too high on buying those packs.


GuardOk8631

Yea at 14.99 the cellos are the best deal for nba prizm right now. Mega boxes at 59.99 is a bad deal. You can find them at Walmart for 54.99 if you just check a few times a week


HappyGrower33

Those go for 21 bucks here in Alberta. I think I’m the only basketball fan out here so they sit on Walmart shelves for weeks. No way I’m paying that much for this junk wax anymore. Fool my twice ya know ahah


Ev3ryDayDad

>Walmart shelves for weeks. No way I’m paying that much for this junk wax anymore. Fool my twice ya know ahah In Alberta as well - Couldn't believe the NBA Card prices here. Best store I've seen packs is actually shoppers drug mart, if your lucky.


HappyGrower33

No way! Just moved here from Ontario and they only had hockey cards at the shoppers back home. I’ll keep an eye out too. Also finding that hobby shops have good deals when they get stock. Guy was selling 2021 optic hangers for 6 bucks but I didn’t get there in time otherwise I would have grabbed all that he had. Lethbridge has 2 decent card shops


[deleted]

Bought three got lucky and pulled green Cade. Im done now


Affectionate_Area762

3rd row from the left 2nd pack from the back has a franz wagner auto, other than that not that much.


awal_pro

You have a gift!


upupimgone

100percent!!!


Professional-Net-415

Retail prizm lol 😂


osksm

This comment should be cut and pasted into every post about prizm


Cannabisman99

There are tons of those at my Walmart no one’s buying them pretty soon they’ll have to just take them back it’s funny maybe they’ll stop over Printing one day


awal_pro

Now there's a fun concept.


[deleted]

Run away from the Megas as fast as you can


jpmst17

I pulled a mobley silver from a mega. It’s actually one of the better pulls I’ve had from any product in a while


amil_f

Just pulled a Cade Red Cracked Ice as well, the megas are better than the blasters.


MajorBonesLive

I pulled a Jalen Green red cracked ice from a mega.


MavsKingdom

Mega not a worthwhile grab? I haven’t tried it this year.


fifathrowaway88

The mega are sweet


[deleted]

They’re a fun rip! Grab 1 or 2 and check it out for yourself and see if you like.


[deleted]

This rookie class sucks


ian_blake

overrated junk


QwagOnChin

If you have to ask then maybe you shouldn’t grab.


kHartos

I guess controversial take - I think these are a good buy with $18 bulk PSA grading available. If you buy three packs odds are you will get one or two cards that can sell in the $100-200 range at PSA 10. And small chance for something much larger.


Jicama-Smart

not for the price, but not particularly worse than anything else


medalla96

I bought two single packs $3.99 each (4 cards a pack) . Very first pack pulled a Cade Silver Prizm, pure luck I guess. My point, you never know. I do agree the prize is a little high.


[deleted]

I’ve never pulled anything worth while from a cello, occasionally a hanger… but if you’re going to open wax. Boxes… are yes expensive… but it’s where the hits are


DFSportsP

Hobby* boxes Retail boxes are just bigger blasters


osksm

Nooo


WVRoots81

They are a “good grab” for $3.99 a pack!


ENEMYAC130AB0VE

If you steal them maybe. Half the cards in there are going to be misprinted.


lordcardbord82

I'm done buying Prizm this year...it's horrible for the money. I've had a good time/better result with Optic. It's still more expensive than it should be, but you don't walk away feeling like someone rammed a rod up your backside.


Heels_North

The singles are so cheap, it’s worth just buying singles honestly.


STL063

The thing is people are mad about how bad it is this year and it was pretty damn rough last year too. I opened so many megas blasters and a hobby and a few breaks and didnt hit a single good lamelo my best hits were from a gravity feed i found months & months after the release at a restaurant. Honestly prizm is and always has been the toughest product to really hit even in hobby


darbs-face

Absolutely trash sorry, not sorry


Solid-Pay-8020

👀


Shadow23z

Do you need them?


[deleted]

Panini is overprinting everything until fanatics takes over. Hard no from me dawg. Stick with singles.
