At a minimum whoever snagged them got them at least 50% off what their true value is. I saw that seller post a bunch of the autos, but I guess I didn't dive deep enough to see the above 2. :confused:

I'm gonna see if I can find some interesting ones at lower than what I would expect.

Also, I just realized I had a Azzi Fudd red parallel /50 thinking it was a blaster red/white/blue.

So in my binder I have the full base set, and then the best alternate version of each in an alternate set.

I haven't gone through my parallels fully yet (I have them stacked in a pile, but that's about it). I think I am more than 2/3rds to a Panini logo foil set. I think I am also going to eventually complete at least a base Prizm set for all the Prizm cards (regular Prizm, Fearless, Student Orientation, Trophy Hunting).

Trying to fill out sets of the uber rare SSPs....especially Colorblasts and On Campus....that's probably a bridge too far to cross. Lol
 
My favorite detail that I somehow just noticed is the “ghost hand” that was removed from DT’s picture on her Fearless prism insert. Well done, Panini.

Congratulations, amazing pulls! How was the condition of everything? QC seems like it was a little hit or miss for this set.

Thanks - QC on the Bueckers 3/10 is perfect - definitely will give to Beckett. The Red /50 for Ross is likely a 9, while I have a Red /50 Azzi that is perfect looking.

Maya's 8/10 looks IMHO either 9.5 or 10 so debating a Beckett grading.

But 6 more boxes show up early this week and will see what that holds.

If I get another Bueckers signature, even base, I will keep and sell the 3/10 once graded as that might be > $1k
 
Managed to track down one more hobby box fairly close to MSRP this weekend. Nothing too crazy (I’m no @Lafayette), but some of the better hits were a Donyell Marshall auto and a Ray Allen fearless in the pink camo.

Among all those legendary huskies, this was quite the pleasant surprise. Don’t think I’ve ever opened a number this low. What a Rip!

Literally a huge "Rip". Lol
 
Amazing "rip" of the packs! Wow /5 is the best I've seen so far - IMHO they put the best runs into late boxes as it seems these are now starting to show up.
 
So I heard from someone the On Campus insert cards are blaster box only pulls....anyone else hear that? That would explain why none of us have hit an On Campus among the dozens of hobby boxes we've opened. Lol

News to me but like the red/white/blue alts as Blaster only, they do need to sell Blasters with some level of exclusive cards else like David Hasselhoff's last album (in German): No one speaking English is buying them.

Also Panini finally put out an updated checklist that has the full official auto list: https://blog.paniniamerica.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/UConn-checklist1-1.pdf

Just as I suspected, several autos that are short printed (so the mystery of my Fudd/Karaban home jersey autos is solved. Lol). 17 total auto SPs.

Seems on the checklist that signatures for AK, Azzi and Paige have 2 different (one standard, one SP) - interesting as I need to check my binder as I put them in alpha by first then last name like they show. No doubt my Paige 3/10 is an SP by definition but will see.

6 boxes showing up today sometime - will check when home and bust them tonight if I have time.

@ctbro1999 will ping you when I have my final sigs and all to trade.

Have yet to see any 1/1 autographs surface yet....may you be the first to show one off!
 
Seems like these things shipped everywhere, saw someone on reddit who lives well away from New England say they bought one at their card shop. If they’re in card shops across the country it could be some time til rare low # cards surface
 
1 of 2: Album is coming along.

First page is just for us fans! Both coaches, and the Dog!

Best card: Paige 3/10 signature

I put them in order of base cards on the left side, then the right side has best version variants.

Fearless is coming along as well.

I wouldn't put it past Panini to do that. It could be that there are simply a lot of true UConn fan collectors that bought up a lot of this set and are not interested in selling on eBay or even posting their "hits" online, but as of today I haven't seen many low numbered (5 or less) cards anywhere. There was the Paige 1/1 gold vinyl Prizm, I think I saw a Calhoun Legendary 1/1 posted on eBay, and I've seen a smattering of green /5 cards, but otherwise none of the 1/1 autographs and even the silver vinyl /10 Prizms have been very scarce.

Makes me almost want to pick up a few more boxes but I've already spent so much on this set as it is. Lol

Decided to keep the good cardboard times rolling and picked up a box of Chinese New Year Revolution, and I was pleased to find every UConn rookie except Clingan. Even got Newton in the CNY parallel. Happy with it!

I sniped a few singles of our guys on EBay, when I was looking at Jackson/Hawkins last year I really didn’t like the look of this set but for some reason I really like this year. The players really pop on them
 
I've also been sniping on eBay to get deals on better versions of the bases, and sigs mainly.

But then came an auction for cases of Blaster boxes under the MSRP of thirty bananas each, and got 2 cases showing up next week. Those are exclusive to On Campus, the Red/White/Blue and Donuts but also have same cards as Hobby without the hobby exclusives.

With a lot of base cards, if I can get 7-8 sets of 1-50, I can pedal those on eBay for $25 each and use that to pick up any remaining cards needed.

For sigs, hard time finding Bird, Taurasi, Rip, and basically all the SSP versions. I need 8 more.

For base card alts, I am looking for yellow, blue, red versions of each and have about 1/2 of them.
