The rising price of 2012 Leaf Metal Draft

[SethMurphy]

I can't believe how much cases are rising

2012 Leaf Metal Draft Football Hobby 12 Box Case - $744.99 : Blowout Cards - Sports Cards and Trading Cards Wholesale Online Store (http://www.blowoutcards.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_318&products_id=6621)

Up over $150 in about 8-10 days, I bought mine on March 9 for $589 from Blowout.... was considering another case before Best of Basketball came out, but I don't think it's a great buy at that price

Was going to buy a box for like $55 but decided not to as the prices are rising and the singles keep dropping...

metal draft is yuck

soon as the first official nfl releases come out, all these people are going to lose a lot of money

It's a decent value at $55-60/box. It was a no-brainer at less than $50/box.

Anything over $60 isn't worth it.

two players are driving the prices up big time and really just RG3's auto.

Most other singles have already fallen in value...and then once the other releases come...:eek:

people just need some patience. this stuff loses value really fast once the other 2012 products come out. its only good to flip when it comes out , like sage lol. after seeing how last years metal cards did compared with the other products at the end of the year, ill never touch it again.

I still can't believe the cam newton metal draft superfractor auto sold last summer for 4999? Or was that faked?

[Casebreaker]

overall my case was really GREAT, but i can see where people like this stuff, got a case for about 600, and i pretty much pulled most of the skill players that most people will want when the season starts, RG3, Lamichael James, Lamar Miller, Hill ect. Usually those autos are tough pulls in other products. Cards are also very nice too in person

Indeed. I seriously considered buying two cases of these but after seeing the design and tototally certified my choice was crystal clear and I bought a case of that. Much better looking cards imo and price is right. Once press pass releases the singles will be cheaper. I personally want a rg3 for my collection but why buy a 200 card when you can wait until the season and get it for 50-60 bucks later?

A lot of people like metal because it usually grades very high. The other football products are nicer (certified etc) but are harder on grading.

Out of all my cards only my army cards we centered well. I say most of the metal autos were all off centered this year almost most of them 30/70ish

Yeah I heard that! I know that in the past leaf metal has been an easy grade but this year's metal football seem to have this centering issue. I wonder if they changed anything with production?

Choosing a high dollar Panini product over this one will be a HUGE mistake. Mark my words.

Ok pal I will. That's idiotic to me. 2 cases of this vs one of totally certified. I wonder how many people would actually agree with you about this?
