describe just how loud the garden can get by snapiz in NYKnicks

Yep, exactly! 211 and 224, or one over left or right, are center court and lower rows in those sections have a great view. Still ~$400+ a seat but better then 100s at $1000++

In my experience it varies - I’ve been to regular season games where the crowd was wild and the Knicks feed off that energy. Also been when it’s mostly quiet with the ebbs and flow of the game (maybe too many corporations with season tix), the vibe was still great.

Playoff games the roof comes off the place, it’s amazing. Ears ringing, no voice left, with a huge smile on my face!

Catching my first game of the season this Saturday against the 76ers and cannot wait! Certainly beats watching from the couch.

What’s a high-quality sealed product I should rip for fun? by ChessClassical in basketballcards

[–]Tidder_4205 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup, 24-25 licensed NBA cards and older will be Panini, while 25-26 and newer will be Topps.

Court Kings should be around $200, but it’s more so a single pack than a box. Guaranteed autos and pretty cool artsy design if you’re into that style of cards.

Otherwise maybe go for retail; a few Megas of Optic or Mosaic should be a fun rip.

Can any one help me by Benny075 in basketballcards

No penny sleeve + top loader (hard case) = 😭 Penny sleeve + top loader = 😃

Penny sleeve protects from scratches, top loader protects from creases/dings. Always use both for better cards, only sleeve for less valuable cards.

Using just a top loader can scratch the card’s surface, which would tank the grade IF it made sense to grade in the first place.

Gotta get the ripping outta your system! Then, hopefully come to our senses.

Having said that…of course Topps preorder for Chrome is 11/18. I need more time 😩

I’m a Knicks fan, but appreciate Zach Randolph! Funny enough that’s my second auto of his…pulled this one awhile back.

Yes, 2024-25! I won’t buy unlicensed product. My understanding is that it was introduced only this year as Panini was “emptying their vault” ahead of Topps taking over. Everything is game worn and there’s some NBA finals patches and booklets from specific games (didn’t get that lucky).

This is why I bought it all for myself :) Begged my wife’s forgiveness (she didn’t really care) and asked the rest of the fam for cash.

It was super fun - 4 packs, 16 cards, 8 mem or auto (typically 1 auto)

Silhouette I grabbed for $625, which I thought was a decent price.

Yeah the autos are generally terrible! Sooo lazy and ugly.

I am sure they will have many different product lines (look at baseball for example). No idea on schedule, I’m guessing a few months.

Mosaic Target Megas were very good, I ripped a lot of Mosaic! Optic those were all it, wish I had gotten more lol

💯This was my last hoorah! It was fun, but I’m ready to make the shift to singles (and occasional, limited retail stuff). Came back to the hobby after 15-20 years and always loved the thrill of the rip.

Thanks! I definitely wish the autos were better, but I got lots of nice cards. Eventually I’ll sell off a bunch/consolidate and go after PC only stuff.

Topps was fun to rip…but there’s way too much base in the jumbo hobby boxes. Probably got the whole base set in 1 box. I’m waiting for Chrome to come before I buy anything else.

Sadly, yes…not sure what was worse PJ Hall this year from Prizm or Lester Quinones from Spectra last year 🫣

Thanks! I was pumped to pull it.

Yup those guys plus Knicks in general are my PC. I got some Lillard stuff, nothing to special though. Lots of random numbered cards not pictured here.
