A collector friend was buying 2019-20 Prizm basketball, and complaining there wasn't anyone to trade to help build his set. I happened to be at Walmart when the stock person was stocking Prizm basketball. I bought it and for fun opened a few boxes. In one box was a Zion Williamson RC silver. I was shocked at the response to buy this card!

I can remember seeing 86 fleer basketball on the shelves for around 12.00 box.In fact the local candy company offered employees boxes at 6.00 box--no buyers so the company returned 3 sealed cases back to Fleer for credit--yes I could have bought those cases but who wanted it?

That's weird. where I was they were in a McCrory store, and they had a whole display of them. Bought a few packs, liked them, went back maybe 10 days later, all gone.
