Sports card hobby boxes are a rip off right now!

Prices are going crazy. Panini releases court Kings every year. This box is usually $90-$100. This year they are selling for almost $300. I have seen this in all sports but it seems basketball is leading the way.

I think these cards look great and luckily I have a friend who owns a card shop and usually sells me one close to cost to try and suck me into buying more. I got mine for $200.

Unfortunalty this is the last box of cards I’ll be buying for a bit because I need to get some cards graded and this is expensive. I’m still working towards opening a shop but all the dealers I’ve talked to are closed to new business unless you are willing to spend 50k a month right now.

These are some cool looking cards.

On card autos are always a big hit. Let’s hope coby white has a big season next year.

The zion came damaged on the back. I’ll be sending it back to the manufacturer to get a refund hopefully. Cards have to be perfect or else the resell value tumbles.

Have a good one everyone. Hope you liked seeing the hits from the box.

I personally would not see myself spending that much money on them but I have to admit that they look pretty neat.

Yeah. Luckily that zion sells for about $400. The Coby will sell for about $120. I'll probably end up making a little money. Got lucky for sure. It's not smart to buy boxes thinking you are going to make money though.
