I have hit four Kobe's, a Kobe/Blake Dual, an Anthony Davis, A Blake Certified, a Dr J auto....I mean I have had good luck with Panini but it is this influx of like-products that are just killing the values of these cards. Like it or not, there will never be another $300 non-auto rookie like a Kobe Bryant Chrome. Hell, after a few years even Kyrie cards will be in the $150 range due to his exclusivity deal with Panini(they will just keep churning'em out). The demand does not keep up with the supply for 80% of the products. That is a 20% "hit" rate....Just think about that.
Like Steven said, if you collect a certain player you just wait until a new product to comes out and grab the singles. At that rate, why even bother buying wax? A buddy of mine and I had a conversation a few months ago. Say you and your friend went in halves on a box of Prizm for $125. If you hit a Kobe or Durant or (insert star name here) and your buddy said to you, You keep the Kobe/Durant/other Star auto and I will take everything else, wouldn't you do that every single day?
As someone who buys A LOT of wax Panini should be concerned about losing another guy who drops about a good amount of bread on wax. There is a reason that wax-selling sites always have non-current products. THey buy in bulk, don't sell it all and then discount it.
