Any other suckers out there buying Panini Prizm cards the last few weeks? I've been loading up on #1s and jersey #s. Marketplace is so difficult to maneuver for most that it makes finding deals possible if you're willing to put in the time.
Are you sticking to low serial # variants or including base in your purchases. After being hung to dry after the Top Shot debacle I only bought two packs of the silver parallel packs and didn’t really hit anything good. Might consider buying singles instead
I've bought both Silver and Base cards on the secondary market. There's been very little uplift in prices for Silver vs Base on the low-end. On the high end Silver has been a hit. A LaMelo Silver #1 sold for $5.5k a few days ago. Packs overall haven't been great investments so far. Might as well save your money and buy the cards you want on secondary. Though I'll probably try for Noir Sneaker packs and might try for Blue and Gold Parallel packs depending on pricing. They're going to wrap up basketball drops in the next few weeks then move onto Football.

Got the email and couldn't resist. At the moment feel that I'll go for the physical original vs. the NFT. Believe buyers have a full year to decide though

Nice! That’s a good one. (Though they’re all similar enough)

You have the option to get the physical print over keeping the NFT?

Yeah, this was part of the release info. Also - it’s not technically a print, they’re all unique originals. Very, very similar looking originals.

It is much better than that.

I tried for the curated release on Friday and missed out. I set gas limit to 'medium' which was a rookie mistake, didn't have a chance! Had read that it's possible to pay >$100 in gas and still miss out, so I didn't want to set it too high. Bit of a learning curve I suppose

Honestly? Don’t even bother going for it. Wait a few hours and end up picking it up on the secondary at a low price. This way you don’t risk losing an insane amount of gas (some ppl spent 1eth) for nothing.

But the prices over last two days have skyrocketed. Multiple 200k sales.
