if you can pre-order the retail at SRP, i would recommend it.

the retail game is not changing for the better in a month

[QUOTE=bradley9999;16864554]Thats what I'm doing. Pre-ordered a case of hangers at basically retail. Hobby prices are just insane everywhere.[/QUOTE]

I ordered a three 12-fat pack lots online for just at cost + tax + shipping. Hopefully they are in good condition when I get them but seemed to have more bang for your buck IMO


[QUOTE=premium1981;16864570]Going to $400 a box! Lock in now!!![/QUOTE]

Right? with how everything is going it could be $800!

Hopefully they come factory sealed in a box. I ordered fat packs from an online retailer for 2020 Update which they were selling in lots of 8 and they all had some amount of damage even though they were packaged well.

That is what I am hoping, plus it is presell so that is what I ASSUME they will do... Will post how I get them though.

fat packs come 108 loose packs per case

[QUOTE=THammers;16864548]Pre-sale hobby box prices up to $130 now on a couple of the big ones. Might be sticking with retail at these prices.[/QUOTE]

Except for the fact you cant get retail unless you want to stand in line for 8 hours at Target with the mouth breathers waiting to catch a sniff of the shelf stockers...

How hard will it be to buy from topps.com? Will this be like BDS or will these be up for 5-10 minutes before the bots eat them up?

There will be a very short window of opportunity. You'll have a good chance though if you're refreshing on release day. There won't be a link up beforehand so the bots won't be able to snag them all right away.

I might have missed it in the thread, but what's the suggested retail for a retail display box? Thanks.

Can’t wait for singles!!

$72 is what it should be. I'm sure you'll see other ridiculous prices out there though.

24 packs @ 2.99 = ~72

where can i purchase retail product from in canada? id love to buy some hangers/fat packs if possible at MSRP.

Yes, seeing a wide range of prices. Thanks.

On IG, Topps release a sneak peak and said

"2021 Topps Series 1 has the deepest rookie classes in recent years & here's a sneak peek at a few of them! Which RC are you most excited for?

Showed Alec Bohm, Ryan Mountcastle &Devi Garcia

Deep in BS...

Im actually more excited about some of the inserts than the 'deep' rookies.. Ofcourse some random guy will pop off and things will go to the moon

I saw that and laughed to myself....they have to market though, so can't blame 'em.

There is one every year, its just making sure to have a little bit of everyone

[QUOTE=PDCCollectibles;16889731]I saw that and laughed to myself....they have to market though, so can't blame 'em.[/QUOTE]

Right? Deeper than 2020 series 1? That is a pretty deep class with promise

2021 has significantly more depth than 2020. It was a big drop off in 2020 after the big 3 of Alvarez, Bichette, and Lux.

My Son really wants to open a case of 2021 baseball with me. I'm torn between this and Opening Day. I'm sure this will yield better color, better inserts, and better autos/relics. I'm just not sure I can accept the huge price difference between the two. :eek:

You guys should go for a retail 24 pk case maybe. A few hundred less and almost as fun I’m guessing?

Was gonna suggest the same - a case of retail. Blasters would be fun with the manufactured relics 1 per blaster - and a ton of packs to rip.

Probably tough to find at MSRP at this point but there was some available a week or so ago...

FYI, opening day retail is cancelled. Very few if any will even be at Walmart or target.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I may either do this or stick with the Opening Day hobby case and then start Series 1 cases next year when I have more money available.

Is this from printing issues due to Covid? I always considered Opening Day to be a retail-centric product. I'd figure they would've cancelled hobby instead of retail. Maybe not enough printed to go the retail route. Any print run estimates yet on this?
