Optic rookies going nuts; Prizm holding strong -- got some nice ones to share?

[WilyWestbrook0]

I picked these up for cheap a year or so ago, maybe $10 or so. They are now $80-$120 cards:





Not an Optic, but also noticed that Jayson Tatum Prizm rookies are going nuts as well. I got one late last year for cheap; they're now about $150:



This, though, is the crown jewel of my collection. Now going between $500 and $1,000:

Very true they are going crazy sold a bunch of the base stuff like Lebron and other base cards for crazy dollar amount imo. Of course they sell for more on ebay. Congrats on the nice pickups and for you it not about dollar and cents.

Nice cards! I was also lucky enough to pick up all the Prizm complete sets (12-13, 13-14, 14-15, 15-16, 16-17, & 17-18) when they first came out (before it all skyrocketed). Last two years Prizm product, I only got the main RCs instead of the whole set.

It must be an easy job being the guy running the Beckett Basketball magazine. Another month of just having every card in the magazine going up in value. It just never seems to cool off. Congrats on the cards BTW

lol, I know, right? I didn't even know stuff like base LeBrons are going big now -- I'll have to look into my LeBron bases now and see if I have any!

Got the Giannis Optic!

Another one I checked on last night that's gone up in value is the James Harden 12-13 Prizm. That base is worth more than some of his rookies now.

I also have a Michael Jordan 1995-96 Metal Nuts & Bolts subset from the series two set! I remember pulling that from a box break a few years ago not long before the Jordan insert craze went bonkers. People seem to think those are inserts due to the design (though they are actually part of the base set--subsets are base cards that look different from the regular base cards, but aren't true inserts), and so they are selling for $50 on the Bay. :)

Besides the Giannis Optic, I also pulled out a few more Giannis higher end base, including a 2014-15 Excalibur. Those are starting to jump, too. Second year cards of a player often carry premiums.

All four of these were in my commons monster boxes! (The Harden mentioned in the previous post is in my OKC PC. I sold a lot of Harden a few years ago, but kept some base, rookies, and cheap parallels/inserts, including the 2012-13 Prizm base.)

I have a Giannis Select (I think 2014-15, not rookie) price went from $3 to $50.
