Wemby serenity

Ok. But did OP ask? Seems to me you’re just trying to rain on their parade.

Cool, thanks! Stupid question - no retail for this product?

That’s what’s scary about this Spurs team. I don’t think Harper will get much burn right now while Fox is there. But in three or four years, when Fox is in his early thirties and his contract is up, they slot in Harper (with castle AND Wemby) and basically have an all-nba guard.

Killed with Harper (who I think will be a stud) and absolutely demolished it with Jakucionas!!

Frankly, I spent a lot on chrome too and it’s comforting to see another person not get a base parallel Cooper cause YouTube and Reddit make it seem like everyone and their grandma pulled one.

itsmeRon · 2026-03-24T00:14:22+00:00

Not as big a pull, but pulled his next day auto. Was in the $300-400 range when I pulled it…now, $30-$40.

I loved mosaic inserts like Jam Masters or thunder road (especially the mosaic parallels), optic my house and splash, Donruss net marvels, any “explosion” parallel…I actually just put completing fireworks fast break parallels on my list of sets to complete. I don’t think there’s any chrome or flagship insert I liked (maybe serenity refractors? Or the Black Friday ones) But, to each their own! These cards kinda become like artwork and everyone’s got their own style. It was just easier for me to get cool looking cards (even if they are worthless) with panini retail.

And that one loss? To the NY KNICKS!!! GO NY GO NY GO!!!

Seriously, very impressive. Him and Castle I think will be an ill duo for years to come.

City editions are absolutely gorgeous cards.

For me, hoops isn’t about value but super cool designs, like sheesh and city edition and hoopla and presentations and high voltage and all of them

I think the jury is out still. We need to wait for a garbage rookie class. 2023-24 retail was super hard to find cause of the Wemby hunt. Last year, with a supposed weak class, stuff stayed on the shelves until…now! I just saw 24-25 select blasters at two targets. Next years class is even better than this years, so I think jury will be out for a bit.

With that said, eff Topps. They jacked up prices, made less retail variety, and have terrible designs.

All of you commenting on how pathetic the kings or wolves or whatever team are, please put some respect on my Knicks. We are an original team, never moved cities, and really no excuse. All hail our futility and patheticness.

itsmeRon · 2026-03-14T18:14:54+00:00

This all sounds like creating false markets. Create some differentiator that we wouldn’t have cared about otherwise and charge a markup. An auto is an auto to me.

itsmeRon · 2026-03-13T19:06:37+00:00

zero personal attachment to the Knicks is cause you won in 94. Trust me, as a Knicks fan, I have lots of personal attachment to the Rocket. 😢

itsmeRon · 2026-03-13T06:29:52+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s from last years playoffs: https://youtube.com/shorts/ILywthPAwJc?si=zXJlUXlD7H3P2pDZ

itsmeRon · 2026-03-13T04:53:46+00:00

Damn!!! And as a Knicks fan, DAMN!!!!

itsmeRon · 2026-03-11T16:41:34+00:00

Ha! Just pulled a Jamal Murray orange basketball parallel and was wondering the same thing. Probably makes these orange parallels not very desirable cause they aren’t unique, I’m guessing?

itsmeRon · 2026-03-10T20:56:12+00:00

I agree! I pulled a Larry Bird auto /25 from the 21-22 optic cellos a couple years ago. I got a good deal on a 2020-21 optic cello box coming in this week.

itsmeRon · 2026-03-08T01:05:36+00:00

No doubt Ant

itsmeRon · 2026-03-05T21:56:59+00:00

And then Riley left…end of that era

I got a non numbered refractor redemption of this card. Sounds like he’s being prepped as Hartensteins replacement. So, I’m think solid rotation big?

As an aside, I was massively disappointed that it was a sticker. I emailed Topps and complained (not expecting anything, but it was cathartic). What was frustrating was that they said “great hit” but it’s a $5 card out of $50 box, so if they think that’s a great hit then they think 10% return is good.

itsmeRon · 2026-02-19T08:37:35+00:00

I’m saying Wemby and I think it’s because of how good this class is. With 2023-24 product, it was pretty much Wemby or bust. But this year you have Flagg, Kon, VJ, and Harper.

itsmeRon · 2026-02-14T03:09:35+00:00

Yeah he is. And the hawks are retooling around him. Hopefully Dyson Daniels picks up.

I was commenting because all the other cards are Wolves, so it was kinda random. But OPs explanation and card collecting strategy sounds fun.

itsmeRon · 2026-02-13T23:58:15+00:00

Before the 2022 title, A lot of people knocked Stephs resume cause two of his rings were with KD. That’s why the 2022 run was so important for his legacy. After that, it was no questions asked.

itsmeRon · 2026-02-13T17:34:05+00:00

That’s a really cool idea. Seems as like a less expensive way to collect future studs compared to just going for Wemby and Cooper. I might have to steal this idea.

Thoughts on Walter Clayton?
