Part of me wishes I took that advice about 3 years ago! I shudder to think of the amount of money I've blown breaking boxes filled with little pieces of cardboard. But back to the OP - I think that right now, one of the best value products is Revolution, and for a few reasons: It's extremely...

Yep, agreed on all counts. I actually loved Noir simply because it was a change from the same old sea of white / prizm clone products they were constantly churning out, and the constant see of $1,000/box products filled with one-colour jersey pieces and sticker autos. Suddenly we get this...

That's a fair point. I guess part of the cool thing with the Galactic cards is that they were known to be very short printed, but were never actually serial numbered. I suppose in a way that helped to keep the value high by adding a bit of suspense - you never really cared that much what...

Actually there is one product I do like (and actually think got better) and that is Revolution. It's cheap to buy, the card designs are original and look great, there aren't TOO many parallels (4 or 5), and the autos are great (stunning to look at, all on cars, and rare enough that its...

I'm a big fan of Revolution myself. I don't normally like cheaper products much, but Revolution is a really fun break because there are so many cool variations and the autos are: 1. Not too common 2. REALLY great looking 3. Mostly of decent players (pretty limited checklist) 4. 100% on card...

Couldn't agree more. I've also notice Panini seem to be slowly creeping up the number of boxes per case with high end products, for example: 2014/15: Immaculate = 5 box / case National Treasures = 3 box / case Spectra = 5 box / case Noir = 3 box / case 2016/17: Immaculate = 5 box / case...

The part that really disturbs me is when I see things like this...

Not sure if you'd consider it high end or not, but i have a Josh Smith Preferred Panini's Choice red (i think its /25). Don't have access to a pic now, but can get get one up when i get home if you're interested.

Hi all, Just wondering if anybody has ever created a thread / resource that lists the base card thickness ('pt' size) of different basketball products? Im never 100% sure which toploaders / one touches / sleaves to get when i order boxes, so i kinda just end up getting a number in each size...

I really didnt like flawless last year - felt it was very unimaginative. This year though, wow! Huge turnaround. I think its easilly the best looking product so far followed by Noir, and then probably LUXE or Spectra. I give Gala an honourable mention, though the whole recycling the film idea...

Thanks, appreciate the info! I'll give it a try and see how i go.

Ok cool, happy to wait it out if that's all it is. I just wasn't sure how long you would typically expect to wait, and didn't know if a year was fairly standard or if there may be an issue there. If it's not uncommon, then I'll just wait it out. :)

Hi everyone, I have a redemption (Kobe Bryant, 2013/14 Gold Standard, Marks of Gold /25) that I placed over a year ago, back on 31/07/2014. I have had numerous other redemptions sent out since then, but haven't heard a single thing about the Kobe. The request is still active, with abolutely...

I thik they key differences here are that Odom: * Was very versatile - he had the mobility to defend Small Forwards (even guards, to a degree) a length to defend centers * In his prime, was an impressive athlete * Was a really good defender in his prime * Had a solid outside jumper and could...

Honestky, I really don't see much potential there - but other's seem to, so I feel like I must be missing something? I look at Randle and I see two main skills: 1) The ability to overpower people inside and score off raw brute force 2) Rebounding I don't really see much else. He's...
