Is it better to purchase a presale of the 2025-2026 PWHL cards or wait until after the cards have officially been released?
some context:
- i’m from outside North America
- i’m a new fan of pwhl and sports as a whole, so i am unfamiliar with how the sale of the cards work
- looking to buy the hobby box
would i save more money purchasing them as a presale first? i know that i’ll be guaranteed to get the cards once they are released, but do presales usually cost more than if it were to be sold after its official release? i definitely want to choose the cheaper option, but i’m also worried about the availability of the cards! do they sell out fast? buying in-store is definitely out of the question, so my only way to get them is online.
i have checked with sports card shops in my area, and they don’t seem sure if they will be stocking the 25-26 cards (also not sure how that works!) some stores do have the 24-25 hobby box, but the price is quite higher than the presale of the 25-26 hobby box on the websites i’m looking at.
sorry if i made any errors in my post, once again i am completely new to this! would appreciate any help!
