He'll drop even lower mark my words. He and Jason Kidd are pretty much guaranteed if you buy a 20 box which you definitely shouldn't. Just saw the stats and quite frankly not even the rubies are worth collecting from this set. Way overpriced.

Probably but he's actually gone up a little since I said that. 2K fixed his picture and I honestly think that had something to do with it, people probably put him up not even realizing it was Penny for cheap, his stats are actually quite good for an emerald 83 rated PG. I'll definitely be picking him up for my Domination run I'm making right now.

They might be overpriced but some of these cards are pretty nice, I know C-Webb is one people have been wanting for a long time so I'd get him just for that fact.

I'm just really disappointed, especially considering how much VC these packs/boxes cost and you cannot buy them with MT at all.

I'd also like to amend this statement, according to someone on Reddit, the pictures for the cards showing up incorrectly was just an Auction House glitch. Not sure if it's true or not but I choose to believe it because 2K did fix the glitch or whatever was the issue rather quickly and now the players all have correct pictures.

Also, I used C-Webb in blacktop and he actually looks like he has a scanned face and looks just like C-Webb, some of the others look great too. They actually did a solid job with these.

Everything will drop over the course of the next 24 or 48 hours. It almost never makes any sense to buy any cards from new packs on the AH until the packs are at least 24 hours old.

Penny Hardaway, Paul Pierce, and KG are all really nice cards to use going for relatively cheap. I got them as my 3 reserve slots in my rotation right now.

Also I was excited to try C Webb for the first time in 2k and picked him up. I really didn't like him, his ft was a 52 with a difficult release. Posted him back up for sale now.

I don't think going for the Ruby MJ is worth it. The collection will cost over 300k and although 90 Post Fade seems sweet, his shot ratings are very low.

Pierce is definitely the best budget SF right now. He can shoot, finish at the rim, and has decent defense. Anybody who needs to add a SF in the 5k range to their lineup should definitely check out rookie Pierce.

Anyone play with Kidd yet? Just grabbed him for 4K. Awesome playmaking, iq, and D stats.

I have opened 1/2 my 20 box and it seems we are all getting the same cards, go figure. I did get Isaiah Thomas, Kidd, and Penny so far. Can't remember the others off hand. Dunleavy was one, woopty doo. Looking forward to the rest. It is frustrating, but it is a lot of fun to hope and see.

You sound fresh to the addiction of opening packs. I've been working a extra couple hours a week at work so I can grab vc cards occasionally. Lol.
