Cardfest Day 9 Breaks!

We are now entering the 3rd week of what was originally intended to be a one sitting event and I'm not even CLOSE to being finished, which is good to me because it means more fun still awaits. So even though I'm off from work the next 4 days, it's also Christmas weekend, so I still might not have as much time as I want to open stuff. I'm going to take advantage of tonight and start rippin! Here's what's up first

15-16 Prizm Basketball Value Packs

 

Alright so this is once again an example of a high risk high reward product. There's really no in between. You either hit a nice rookie parallel and hit BIG or it's a bloodbath. It was definitely worth a shot at the price they were at and I have 17 of these packs (which have 3 packs a piece plus a 3 card Red, White, and Blue Bonus pack) so I'm hoping to get at least one decent rookie parallel, but since it's retail, the odds of a bloodbath are high. Let's hope for the best! Here's what I got!

Overall Thoughts: Well I was wrong..you can have a middle of the pack break. This wasn't a bloodbath at all, but there wasn't a super huge hit either, however there was a pretty nice hit. In fact, as of now it's the 2nd best of Cardfest behind the Simmons Silver Holo Optic Rookie. I pulled a Porzingis Red White and Blue Prizm Parallel out of one of the bonus packs so I'm super excited about that! Looking for a purely financial standpoint, I still basically got destroyed even with that hit, but it's not always about money. This was a fun break because I LOVE prizm parallels and as long as get superstars I'm happy and boy did I. I hit prizms of Lebron, Durant, Russ, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson just to name a few. Also pulled a Zinger base rookie card which  I was super surprised I didn't have so that's going to the PC as well. All in all it was worth the gamble and at least I have one nice card to show for it! Here's a pic of the  Zinger! That will do it for tonight's break!
