This may shed some light on future presell opportunities for 582 members...
I missed the first preorder window for Bowman Heritage. When Topps gave members a second chance I put 3 in my cart, but I ultimately decided not to purchase. The preorder window closed soon after and I didn't think another thing about it. Flash forward a week or so later...I was checking the website and noticed that there was something in my cart. I clicked on it and the 3 Bowman Heritage boxes were still in there. Usually when something sells out the cart is automatically emptied. The presell window closed last week so I was curious to see what would happen if I tried to complete the purchase. After a few clicks my order was placed without issue and I've received email confirmation.
So...I wonder if this means all members will be guaranteed the maximum allotment of each release moving forward, as long as you add it to your cart during the presell window?
It may also speak to the number of boxes available to members during the preorder window. Of course, we have no idea how many people they allowed to sign up for membership, but maybe each member is guaranteed the max allotment and that's exactly how many boxes they reserve for 582 preorders. When those are gone, the window closes. Or, if some members never place them in their cart, the remaining allotment is either added to the ones available to the general public or they honor the orders from members who placed multiple orders?? What do you guys think?
