Soooooo much flipping
Retail was looking rough at the beginning, but it definitely picked up steam towards the end and had enough to hold on for the win! That Cade Honors Green was really nice, those are super rare - I tried finding a sale and there were none, and the PSA pop report is just a 9 and a 10 and that’s it. Could be a good one to grade! Also - that Ricky Rubio Blue Laser from Hoops Premium should be /99!

Yeah, when I saw it was Rubio I think I lost all interest in checking the numbering. 😄 And, thankfully that Cade is on my PSA stack. Sadly, however, it was the only card that made the stack though.
I love these videos, keep up the great content.💪🏾

Love watching your rips!

Oh I bought a 22-23 Optic Blaster from Walmart & pulled a Paolo Banchero Purple Prizm Rated Rookie!!! 🔥 🔥

I’ve been out of the card game for years. Does hobby typically offer more than retail? Retail kind of reminds me of the collector’s choice boxes sold at target for 19.99 back in the day! Haha

Hobby has a much higher chance to hit bigger cards, so they're more expensive packs. Also much riskier though.
A little late on the real deal Beal, but I would rather have a killer than a passer.

Earned my like for your stance on Cade, he's been battling through a college injury but he's supposedly 100% recovered and about to take the league by storm.
