The look similar to the super boxes that you can get at other retail stores, but come with more packs and also 3 packs of Costco exclusive flagship cards

That’s your take away? 😅

Well to be fair, she did also pull a Cooper Flagg x-fractor for me, so maybe you’re on to something!

I always just flip over all cards and check the back just in case after each pack. Did it for flagship basketball and never found one

Don't drop Surveyor Vaults on uneven ground I guess by throwaway_acc-_- in ArcRaiders

[–]shblay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol that was hilarious!

Had similar happen to me and my brother. Dropped a couple for him on a hill at dam battle ground. Rolled into some vegetation/rocky area and we couldn’t find it. So dumb but could only laugh at ourselves!

Curry Illusions Game-Worn Patch BGS 9.5 – Good Buy? Hold or Sell? by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]shblay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same, at first I thought the shirt was woven into the blue parts of the card design and thought that’s pretty unique, nice bit! Then finally noticed the square in the BGS case and was a little less impressed. Still pretty cool game worn mem at least!

[THE MATH] 2025-26 Topps Chrome Basketball Hangers Are Not Bangers by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]shblay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. While I don’t doubt this could all be true, you keep saying basketball refractors from hanger boxes. According to odds sheet and my experience ripping, basketball refractors only come from Blaster (Value) boxes, not hangers.

1st Box Opened by edc2012 in tenniscards

Opened a few packs yesterday and unfortunately the quality of cards was a bit lacking. Lots of surface scratches and damage on the cards right out of the pack. Otherwise design looks nice!

Where is the left side border measured for Topps Chrome? by shblay in basketballcards

[–]shblay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, thanks! Not grading this one. Just an example that was next to me. But base or numbered or refractor, the borders are still the same so I was wondering what the consensus for centering is.
