Love the look of the Optics this year. The pinks and purples are really popping.

[@Virginianative1968]

Box #2 for the win!! Some sweet looking purples in this set!

[@RadPokeDad]

I love Optic! Can’t wait to get a minute to myself to watch this whole video!!! 💪 hopefully you pull some heat 🔥

[@SageTheCollector]

Spoiler alert: I did 😉

[@BigJBasketball]

Box 1 was not bad, but box 2 was loaded! I think all the Wembys that were supposed to be in my boxes ended up in yours somehow 😂. Definitely looked like you got at least a few more cards in your PSA stack 💪🏼

[@SageTheCollector]

Box #2 definitely made me regret only buying 3 of those megas 😁

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Great rip! And raining Wembys indeed!

[@SageTheCollector]

That 2nd box was loaded!

The Bulls have done well to get Giddey. He's 21 and has improved every year, despite being thrown into very different roles with each season. Few players have been asked to change their game as much as he has in his first three seasons. He's a guy who thrives with the ball in his hands, and showed that in his rookie year. He rebounds, has fantastic court vision, and is always improving in his ability to get to the hoop, bringing new tools from his bag each year. That kind of productivity was followed by a season where he was being asked to play off the ball, and sit in the corner and shoot threes, and stay out of the way of Chet who is a terrible rebounder for his size, and watch all of his potential assists go down the toilet because OKC are a highly athletic but rather clueless team. Despite all of that he improved across the board. When he actually shoots a higher volume as he did when Shai was out, he shot over 40% from 3 over a 15 game stretch, in the middle of all of the off the court drama. Really, the only knock on him is his lack of defense, and that the refs never call even hard fouls, when Shai only needs someone to fart near him and it's free throws.

[@SageTheCollector]

I'm starting to come around on the Giddey trade. I am cautiously optimistic.

[@gamedaylegends515]

Nice mega boxes! Thank you for sharing

[@TurkeyFarmerTTV]

Like to see the megas producing some hits!

[@mookz34]

White Hot and Red Hot rookies used to be in Select (for instance 2012 which was Dame and Kawhi's rookie year).

[@2tonechevy05]

On the express lane, the lane under the player shows the color of the card. Nice video

[@DuncanMacBurger]

Awesome, it's quite hard to pick up megaboxes in Hungary...but I hope that Dave and Adam's will do some magic. :) Great vid!

[@SageTheCollector]

🤞🏻

[@Ferin025]

Cool there's a Member First vid didn't know that

[@SageTheCollector]

Members always get the videos a little early 😁

[@FrankyDup12]

Nice Wembys! Awesome rip as usual, thank you Sage! 🎉

[@SageTheCollector]

🤘🏻

[@emmasalsbury2144]

I'm trying to stick to my budget while collecting as many colors of Seth Curry as I can with this set. He looks great in a Hornets uniform!

[@abhinavreddy3296]

love that gg jackson pink

[@CardManic]

That 2nd box was Nasty!!! 2 colored wembys. Love that ant in box one with the color my house. Probably my favorite inserts this year.

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, the My House design and photos are back to being awesome this year

[@jordanhightower]

You're not always the first, but you're always the best.

[@SageTheCollector]

🙌🏻

[@notinbtnet5427]

Megas have been the way to go. Hobby looks brutal. Hit a mega with a victor holo RR, victor purple splash, victor my house, miller pink and amen holo my house.

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, $600 for Optic hobby is always gonna be a total bloodbath

[@Camo_Collects]

That Wemby though 🔥

[@SageTheCollector]

Which one? 😁

[@Gladtheripper]

I'm so happy my knicks got bridges, but 5 1st rounders. This puts a ticking clock on this whole team. Championship or bust. But boy am I excited to see this team play, og, hart and bridges are such good def players

[@SageTheCollector]

Five 1st-round picks did seem like a LOT, but the team is young(ish), and can compete for years to come, so it was worth it I think.

[@Gladtheripper]

@@SageTheCollector I wish we could get a few 1st rounders back for randle lol

[@MarkJones-cp3iz]

Awesome pulls

[@lalilulelo]

That 2nd box is veeeeery nice!

[@SageTheCollector]

Indeeeeeed 💪🏻

[@drumpftodd7887]

Let's go Sage! I am on the fence about this Donruss Optic set but perhaps you can sway me.

[@SageTheCollector]

If that second box didn’t sway you, nothing will 😉

[@_Vicarious]

Dude, I think long term everyone will be looking back and thinking, how the hell did the Bulls get Giddey so cheap.

[@SageTheCollector]

Man, I hope you're right

[@StinkerGuy]

What do you think are better the Optic mega boxes or the regular blasters. I was planning on buying some but dont know which ones to get, Thanks!

[@SageTheCollector]

I haven’t opened up enough to have a favorite yet

[@CromCards]

Good to be a part of the club.

[@SageTheCollector]

🎉

[@georgie5397]

Man that box was a jackpot!

[@kainslance]

The express lanes colors change on the street markings. Like the center line going behind the player. Its a very subtle color change

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah. Very weird of Panini to make an Optic insert purple by default.

[@grantisnotmyname]

Speaking of Obsidian...I recently pulled a 23-24 Obsidian Galaxy Ink Gold Flood Electric Etch of Zach Lavine 01/10 if you are interested.

[@SageTheCollector]

Nice! If Zach remains a Bull, I might be interested.

[@ryanblaze932]

I pulled a Shai gilgeous Alexander phazes out of a blaster last week

[@SageTheCollector]

Nice

[@PackAPunchCards]

10/10 retail fan this year

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Bad trade for the Bulls indeed. Curious how the rotation will be for Giddy. Do you see him starting?

[@SageTheCollector]

He definitely has to start I think. But that does cause a problem with how to also start Coby and Zach (assuming he stays).

[@CharlieAnderson-nt1di]

i love optic

[@kainslance]

Topps calls those seismic a "ray wave" i like that name better

[@SageTheCollector]

Way better

[@NastyCards_Lawks]

Josh Giddey 2024-25. I know you will enjoy that colour match collection 😂

[@SageTheCollector]

I hope so. I'm starting to soften on the trade a little. A little.

[@NastyCards_Lawks]

@@SageTheCollector as long as he learns from his past. 😅

[@kowens1100]

i ❤ optic

[@jonathanlupfer5262]

Are you picking up NBA Prizm Deca? It looks interesting.

[@SageTheCollector]

Depends on the price. But I’m guessing it will be prohibitively expensive.

[@jonathanlupfer5262]

@@SageTheCollector We shall see

[@deadlylikeafox9052]

Fun fact - Sage in French means Wemby whisperer

[@SageTheCollector]

😮

[@manivang9792]

How much mega optic per box some say 60 some say 95

[@SageTheCollector]

Regular retail price is $55

[@dennybain7391]

now you are just getting greedy. 4 Wemby's in one box

[@SageTheCollector]

💪🏻

[@unclesnake3766]

need to relax on those PC pick ups, Bulls just givin guys away

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah. And it looks like DeMar might just walk away.

[@m1j9s79]

bro have you never seen nor heard of the seismic scale/richter scale they use for measuring earthquakes? Make sense now? Make the MOST sense maybe?

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, I know what a seismic wave is, *bro*. My problem is that Panini already used the term (nonsensically I might add) to refer to another parallel. You know what doesn't make sense, *bro*? People like you that leave comments like this.

[@m1j9s79]

@@SageTheCollector Sage, you are not very sage. You are kind of a corny idiot. Thanks for going through all the hits for us, so I can skip through your corny takes.
