    I spent years building up a basketball card collection. I worked hard and used my own money to buy them. The freemasons sent a older man to steal some of them from me when I was a child. My parents then later threw the remaining cards in the trash can. This was satanic ritual abuse. Judgement day is coming.

    $20 is more tempting than $30 for sure, but 80%-90% of these blasters are still going to be busts probably. And I think we’ll see these blasters go even lower in price.

    I definitely like these because we also have those blasters on clearance at my Walmart (along with Select Baseball, Optic Baseball, Ginter Baseball, and Chronicles Basketball) and I definitely think about grabbing one every single time I go in. Then I find myself asking if it’s still worth it at $17-$20 and, if so, which blaster to get… so these videos are appreciated.

    Panini is actually beginning to put more stuff in the basketball sets. This year Mosaic Basketball premiered the Razzle Dazzle case hit. But yeah, basketball retail is beyond rough and hobby isn’t much better. I’ve pretty much given up collecting basketball. It’s just so painful.

      When I got back into collecting last year, I was ripping basketball retail and I wasn't having fun and hitting absolutely nothing. Then I found the magic of baseball cards, significantly more enjoyable to rip and collect. I dumped basketball and Panini like a bad habit! I gave away every single basketball card I own (which wasn't much).

    I saw some (no prizm unfortunately) but I decided to pick up clearance baseball instead. Grabbed a prizm baseball and topps gallery. Hit a numbered card outta both! (I gotta edit the videos for my card channel haha). But yeah, to me, it wasn't worth paying 3 extra bucks on boxes you cant hit anything out of. And i know nothing about basketball, I just love the cracked ice and I know the market can be high depending on who you hit.
