    I wish I could post a video of it but was looking through my dad’s card collection he gave me and he had a cool little 1997 John Elway Motion Vision card. These are so cool.

  2. I’m fully obsessed with this now lol

    @CobraKidJon they did some special releases for the dodgers WS championship (including an anime inspired pack I think I saw) that I imagine is only available on the secondary at insane markup now but they made me think of you.

    is it different than the topps hot dog ones they have for series 2? It sounds like topps just stole from this series for their own lmao
     
  4. Yeah this is a completely different thing. It’s like a hybrid of sports card collecting and TCG.

    The “hero” cards are comic book style drawings based on actual athletes and there are different weapon types and elemental variants and shit that have different power levels for playing the game. Then there are “play” cards that sort of up the strategy element of the game and hotdog cards which I’m still not really sure the purpose of.



    This is the creator of the game I think. He explains everything way better than I can if anyone is actually interested

    My card math is I saw some single packs of the newest Pokemon Destined Rivals set.

    I bought the limit which is 2 and I pulled this which if you actually sell it, it’s worth like $5.

    I basically only paid for one pack(I know I’ll never sell cards) lmao.

    I've gotten rinsed on single blisters on Destined Rivals

    Opened probably around 45 or so, best pull being a Houndoon IR. I've seen people hitting crazy stuff out of single packs, but it must be a skill issue on my part

    Didn’t realize this was in the new topps series 2 but that’s pretty cool. Didn’t get anything cool but hanger bangers are not for me this set lol.

    my friend got me a fat pack and I learned basically my next box might end up being a hobby box cause I spend enough to justify it at this point lol

    @Literal might as well put it in the appropriate thread but yeah walked in to target to get some shampoo and saw a line like 25 people deep.

    walked out while watching the dude restock and him saying no anything besides single packs and the whole crowd just dipped lmao. People waited around but he meant it when nothing crazy at all.

    I’m still hoping to find some booster bundles for the collection

    Not even in a flipping aspect but I’d be pretty bummed if I hit a restock finally and it’s just single blisters haha

    I knew I ordered a lot while I was away from my apartment for 4 months, but didn’t expect my room to be nothing but boxes lol Have another 10-12 boxes not in the pic to the side and bulk everywhere that I didn’t have time to put away before leaving

    It’s gonna be fun remembering everything I ordered since March

    All of this is (or should be) prismatic, JT, DR, and some random tins/boxes besides 6 Totally Certified nfl hobby boxes

    yesterday I wanted to rip a pack at dodgers stadium so I was like let me just get one from the team store and I didn’t see any.

    I asked an associate and he told me they stopped selling topps cards in store cause of scalpers and I was like damn alright then.

    I decided to pick up a blaster from target as consolation and it was the worst blaster ever the pulls were HORRENDOUS. lol.

    I’ve spent a good $100+ on topps series 2 which means I should have just bought a hobby box and get my auto/relic but no I decided to buy everything else and get nothing lmao
