Where the card discussion at?

What’s the state of the hobby right now? Prices gonna go back up, stabilize, or keep plummeting?
@TM101 how many Chase cards do you have? Are you gonna grade any? And what’s the end goal? To buy all high end?
Everything's in a weird place right now. Wax prices are still outrageous and unobtainable for most people but singles prices are dropping like a rock. Panini's been so far behind in their release schedule, with uninspired design choices that it's killing new product interest, imo, especially combined with the ridiculous prices for solo consumers.
Prizm Basketball is releasing after the regular season ends and it's at least $750 a box for pre-orders with this meh draft class. National Treasures FOTL was $750 in Luka's rookie year and now Prizm is that much with no chance to break even unless you hit a Gold Prizm of a star/rookie or a low numbered parallel of Paolo.
Wembenyama's gonna be hyped like crazy. Panini SHOULD have been pushing up all releases for this year to get ready for Victor. 2023-24 Prizm should be dropping in November at the latest but it'll probably be March, MAYBE February. They're a trash company.
