Better $50 Value? 🔥 2022 Prizm Blasters or 2021 NBA Hoops Tmall?

[@yeti4954]

I just love the content. I'm on a buying ban for a bit so just living through you lmao. I'll probably grab some coffee before watching. It's snowing. I'm cozy. Sidenote: Cade Cunningham has had a really solid start to the season. Editedit: Oh gross is uses my full name lmao.

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, Cade's the real deal. I got to witness it when they played the Bulls, unfortunately. 😉

[@cheezchamp]

I’ve been a fan for a long time and NBA hoops Tmall is my favorite box for cheap value! I’ve been waiting for you to rip one of these again for a while!

[@SageTheCollector]

Nice! I've got another box in the stash still, so stay tuned. 😁

[@abramjones2586]

Love those Zach cards. Coming from a bulls fan I want those SO BAD!!!

[@SageTheCollector]

🤛🏻

[@BigJBasketball]

Holy hell that was the most lopsided victory in recent memory! TMall just crushes retail for ROI every time. I think if you had 4 separate battles between 2 Prizm blasters and 1 Hoops TMall pack, the TMall pack would have won every time 😂

[@SageTheCollector]

I think you're right! 😄

[@RippinPacks4you]

Prizm blasters were harsh, couple cracked ice RC and some color tho....Hoops Tmall easy win, beautiful cards, #/25, inserts, Cade rc, an auto😮...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. TY for sharing

[@808SSCamaro]

Duncan Robinson! The best 2 last names everrrrr!

[@asalcards715]

TMALL seems to be the way to go lately! The cost of a few blasters for much better results and then you aren't paying hobby box numbers. Thanks for sharing!!

[@SageTheCollector]

100%

[@TurkeyFarmerTTV]

Love the Luka. Bulls lookin like they can make some noise in the east.

[@SageTheCollector]

Very shaky start for the Bulls. I'm not gonna get my hopes up quite yet, but I'm hopeful.🤞🏻

[@Amiller180]

Prizm has become my least favorite retail to rip. Tmall hoops looks fun! Are you going to rip some hobby prizm draft picks? For the price it seems like a decent rip. A lot of nice fun case hits. Thanks for sharing!

[@SageTheCollector]

Prizm retail is the worst. I am not a fan of Prizm Draft, but I did have a small case of Wemby Fever, so I looked into buying a hobby box. But there's no way I'm ripping one for $225-$250 though. 😐

[@user-vz6es9ty5q]

Kuminga in the hoops pack 🔥

[@BurnVEVO]

I've opened so many retail prizm blasters without a single sensational auto or numbered card, at this rate I'm not even sure if they're actually advertising correctly

[@SageTheCollector]

Retail Prizm is rrrrrrrrrrough

[@Bangpaulxu]

Do enjoy Tmall for sure. Prizm has just been so bad for me. Prizm now 25 bucks? Nice! Thanks for sharing Sage!!!

[@SageTheCollector]

Even at $25, Prizm is terrible. I seriously wouldn't buy it if it was $15. I would buy Tmall instead all day long.

[@SageTheCollector]

I wanna fly to China just to rip a bunch of Tmall stuff 😁

[@Bangpaulxu]

@@SageTheCollector honestly sometimes it sells for more in China than the states depending lol. Just shipping here is dirt cheap. That hoops Tmall box sells for around 55-65 usd here in China currently since exchange rate.

[@SageTheCollector]

@@Bangpaulxu Looks like the Hoops boxes are $30-$35 on CH. I would be buying a bunch of those boxes at that price.

[@Bangpaulxu]

@@SageTheCollector Tmall? I guess I haven’t been checking lately. Might need to pick them up if only that little. Lol you on top of this.

[@lalilulelo]

The 1st pack of hoops tmall is better than the 2 prizm blaster boxes. Prizm blaster/retail never fails to hurt the bank account hehe.

[@SageTheCollector]

100% 😄

[@madisonprince4995]

hi sage! love your account! i just started collecting cards like 2 weeks ago, im not in the hobby price range yet 😭 so im sticking to retail as of now, i was just wondering if you had any tips? im mostly building for my PC rn

[@SageTheCollector]

Welcome to the channel (and the hobby)! My advice is always collect what/who you like. Watch some videos of different sets, and see what you think is cool, and then buy the players you like from that set.

[@Sephcurry]

I love the Luka 🎉❤

[@jvkicktensai]

Wow rare tmall good pulls

[@user-vz6es9ty5q]

Green of GP2 is Golden!

[@robertkeenan7530]

T mall always gives a little something unlike retail. I think they should model US retail like they do t-mall.

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, Tmall is always way better than the regular retail we get in The States

[@7LEVELCards]

Tmall Hoops is so good. For the price, I have hit more great cards from tmall Hoops than anything else. Great rip

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, you are the king of Tmall Hoops 😁

[@7LEVELCards]

I still need a gold rookie, but it will come.

[@CrimpJuice02]

If it wasn't for this channel I would've never learned to not buy Prizm lol

[@SageTheCollector]

😄

[@BobTheCardCollector]

I am very curious about the Bulls this year.. start had giving me a mixed back of feelings. Hoping Dalen Terry will play to improve the value of my RPAs from him hahah

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath on the Dalen Terry thing. 😉

[@BobTheCardCollector]

@@SageTheCollector hahaha I have been watching the boxscore for his minutes a bit too much 😂

[@J-man1017]

Hit up Wal-Mart im store clearance on the prism optic and hoops blasters got the prizms for $15 even tho I said I wouldn't buy anymore after getting squat in 4 megas

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah. The sales are starting to get enticing. $15-$20 isn't bad.

[@traviszielinski8132]

Hey Sage you sell your cards anywhere? I’d love to get that Barret and grimes for my PC! The grimes color match is sharp

[@SageTheCollector]

I typically don't sell single cards, but I sell Sage's Surprise Packs every couple months.

[@traviszielinski8132]

@@SageTheCollector cool man thank you!!

[@unclesnake3766]

Ooof 100 squids you'll never see again

[@SageTheCollector]

Well, I'm okay with 50 of those squids. The other 50 squids...oof. 😁

[@benjaminwelch5607]

2022-23 Prizm Retail has almost no upside at all.

[@SageTheCollector]

True

[@J-man1017]

I.swear I pull a Zach in 95% of what I rip also AJ Griffin ,ty ty and Eason

[@SageTheCollector]

Those are some good rips then! 😁

[@someonesc5]

I would say 22-23 prizm is a no go😭

[@SageTheCollector]

A no-no-no-no go

@@SageTheCollector Are you sure about that? Are you sure about that?

Love the channel and would like to join. Having trouble finding the link or option on mobile. 😬

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks for pointing this out. I just did some Googling, and I guess the Join button doesn't show up in the iPhone KZbin app. So dumb. If you use a Mac or a PC, the Join button should be there.

[@CromCards]

@@SageTheCollector no problem, I can find my way to a PC like it’s 2012 or something. Thanks for the response!

[@SageTheCollector]

Wow. The Join button doesn't even show up in Safari on iPhones. Well, this is just ridiculous...

[@CromCards]

@@SageTheCollector yeah I tried that too!

Party like it's 2012, baby! 🎉 @@CromCards

[@808SSCamaro]

Being the major site you bought those from, I can guarantee you didn't pay that. I will look up your account and post pic in comments!

[@SageTheCollector]

[@Alurvful]

Prizm is by far the worst retail product. Really nothing you can pull. Select would be a fair fight.

[@SageTheCollector]

I think I agree

Do you watch the nba?
