I never pay those prices for a single box, best way for me is breaking sites.
CAJUN BREAKERS and BADGER BREAKS have amazing prices.
Ex. I purchased the Bears on Cajun Breakers in a full case of P & P for $29, another site (MB) was charging $99 for the Bears.

I've been using them for about a year with no issues. They have a great Christmas giveaway every year, I won $50 break credit last year

That’s good! Just saying they have some fake profiles made for random team breaks

Fake profiles always get the best teams. I know several that have left that room because of it

I’m only showing Hobby and H2 Versions coming up. Although retail usually gets added after the fact. Just to show you how out of control the market has gotten, take a look at these dealer prices. Now even if you’re a pretty big operation, it’s hard to get a lot at these prices, but it’s happening.

No wonder the LCS owner is now driving a Maserati.

A lot of the LCS guys I know are getting very little of this stuff at these prices. It’s based on what they bought the year before. It’s the breakers that are killing it because of the massive quantities they’ve bought in the past, so they’re able to buy in at this price plus make money on the break. I’d imagine they’re driving Ferrari’s, in all the available parallels.

I’m so over people giving shop owners a pass, but crapping on breakers.

Shop owners are making money hand over fist (the ones who have a pulse). The above graphic is one example why. Yet shops never offer a good price to customers. It’s always “hey, this is under blowout!!”

Mine sells his initial stock much lower than online. His restock is higher than I want to pay. One a little further away charges online prices.

I have a lot of respect for those who offer fair prices on their initial allocation. Problem is there aren’t many doing that. And yes, once they have to rebuy (at market prices) I totally understand. It’s the price they charge for their allocation.

I used to be in the “support your local shop” group, but I’m done with that.

Shouldn’t you be posting all the info to protect others? Not in PM but in this thread or in a call out thread?

Show the National Treasures and Select hobby box prices! I'm guessing $650 National Treasures and $175 Select. Pre sale prices they will charge will probably be $3000 and $1500.

Steel City has these in-stock for $1999 for pre-sale. I think we are at the blowoff top stage of the bubble. No price is too outlandish, there is no shame in any of these card pushers.

It's hard to make predictions but I'm pretty sure these boxes are going to be available for less than $1999 in the future.

There’s no way those prices can stay at that level with Retail coming out for Select. There just won’t be value in the singles to support anyone other than a breaker buying those boxes.

I think they're trying to take advantage of a few people who are silly enough to purchase.

Also part of it may be to lower the price later in the hopes of giving the appearance of a bargain.

There are like 60 cards in these boxes. These prices are just ridiculous. I don't think they can last even a few more months.

Totally agree. It’s interesting to see the Dutch auctions of the FOTL boxes lately. Seems like Panini uses the sellout price to set the market
On the hobby boxes. Anything before that is just a shot in the dark.

I always enjoyed breaking some boxes each year. That is no longer practical. Companies are selling at obscene prices that would only make sense for breakers. This combo is the bane of collecting, in my eyes.
