The cost of this product for what buyers will likely get is atrocious.

Since these are sold out, the amount of people that may be gambling away rent payments, car payments or mortgage payments for cases of these is alarming.

The odds of pulling a numbered or autographed Flagg RC or other combination of cards that would enable multiple buyers to just break even on these purchases is incredibly low. I’ll say it again: incredibly low.

It truly seems like Fanatics is moving farther away from Hobbyists like me who collect for fun and fully embracing those Hobbyists who collect to gamble.

This is starting to feel like a hobby I’m going to be watching more from the sidelines…..

Such an amazing and bold sophomore design. Skybox took their legendary debut, with its darker background and metallic copper borders, and totally flipped the script. The bright white background and light pastel shapes still are eye catching today. Skybox is missed.

The Cooper Flagg obsession and chase is a healthy reminder of how the vast majority of booming interest in The Hobby the past few years is totally predicated on gambling and the absurd idea cards are a “great investment.”

Almost all the people I see in card aisles are gamblers who barely know anything about what they are spending money on. “Any luck?” is the frequent question I get when I have a blaster or packs in my hand. I’m buying cards because I like sports and cards. This era is so incredibly different from when I collected as a kid in the booming junk wax era. People then actually liked cards for the fun of it.

95% of all high value chase cards will be worth considerably less in five years. Bank on it. Collect for fun.
