ZSDOne Wrote:And Contenders Draft Picks is finally coming out tomorrow - at a price of $314 on the Panini Site which is beyond ludicrous - this used to be a $120 hobby box product. There is absolutely no way that this is worth it. Score Jumbo is apparently going to be in the $250 per box range and even though its historically the product I have done very well in the past few years (much better in higher priced products) it is just not worth it. 99.9% of boxes will be huge money losers at those prices.
Unless some sanity returns to box prices, I'm pretty much looking at just picking up base cards this year.
Yep, insanity has officially set in. One guy on eBay was asking $100 for one retail jumbo pack of Mosaic basketball, which is like 15 cards maybe?
I mentioned this on the baseball boards already, but I walked into Target this morning and there was a guy and I assumed his kid waiting for the card lady.
The kid was probably 15 or so and says to me, "You looking for Bowman or Mosaic (basketball)?"
I'm like, "why, do you have any?"
The dad just kind of snickered this little Beavis and Butthead laugh and I realized their combined IQs were about 60.
Then I'm like, "nah, I grabbed a couple of Bowman last week and pulled both Dominguez cards, so I'm good."
Then the kid was like, "Blasters? They haven't come out yet."
So then I got my phone out with the Dominguez photos from last week's box breaks post and was like, "OK, I guess I'm making it up then," and walked away.
Beavis and Butthead were just stunned and were grumbling to each other as I left the store.
The sharks have definitely never been talented and now I have confirmed they're not that bright, either.
Shouldn't that kid have been in online school anyway? It was like 10 in the morning on a Thursday.
