Yes, but that thread is on the value of basketball cards. This talking about the sport we all enjoy and how it will affect the up coming season (2011-12) in the hobby world.

Im sure the same ten people who are on here all the time will still be here. So it won't change much for me except the part where I cry myself to sleep cause there is no basketball to watch.

well you can watch hockey. lol
nobody watches hockey

I think they will produce less sets of cards if there is a lockout. Not release the ones that get released for Christmas. I think also a lot of basketball cards will be released in July and August so they can sell them before the season is delayed (i predict another 50 game season).

lol, i beat both of you, i started a thread in the basketball talk section, no replies and 3 views on there lol. i really hope there isnt a lockout, the only ones that suffer are us, the fans!!!!!

yeah I'm thinking not much will change. Maybe it can give panini the chance to get more on card signings and/or full fill old redemptions.

If its anything like what it did to football it will kill sales at the LCS I work at.
