I should have never got back into this hobby

I collected baseball as a kid in the 80s. I was obsessed with it. Never really cared about value, just collected players I liked and I still have all my cards to this day, even though most of them are not worth the paper they were printed on. I stopped collecting going into my teenage years and pretty much stopped following baseball all together after the steroid era.
Basketball was always my favorite sport, but for some reason I never collected basketball. I was a huge fan of late 80s, 90s and early 00s NBA but also stopped really following after most of my favorite players retired and I got older and busier. My attention really went to College Basketball as I live in Birmingham and there is not an NBA team I really follow.
Being in my late 40s with more time, I thought it would be fun to start collecting Brandon Miller and the rest of the Tide players currently and formerly in the NBA. I am a big believer in Miller and think he has all NBA potential maybe more. Also it’s a plus his cards are not super expensive as well as the rest of the Alabama players, so this wouldn’t be a too expensive of a hobby.
To get started I bought 3 Contender Blasters, 3 Mosaic Blasters, 1 Phoenix blaster, 2 Mosaic Megas, and one Phoenix Mega to do some Miller hunting and have some fun. Basically just some retail stuff from my local Walmart and Target. I’ll be damned if I didn’t pull some decent cards and now I am hooked to ripping damnit. I am having to talk myself out of buying more and start buying singles as I planned. So far out of what I have bought I have pulled a numbered card out of contenders, an auto, a genesis, a fluorescent green, two prizm Millers and two prizm Wenbys out of Mosaic. Two number cards and an auto out of Phoenix. I also pulled several base and insert Millers and Wenbys. While none of these cards are super valuable but it was a ton of fun hitting them. I am going to try and stop buying retail for now until next season and focus on singles as I originally planned but it is hard to walk away from this run of luck.
