2021 Topps Baseball UK Edition

cj828282 · 01-06-2022, 01:16 PM

For any one that is interested. Of course, poor RC crop but maybe a stray Wander RC? $88 per box.

Huh? I thought 2021 Topps Japan Edition was suppose to take the place of UK Edition for that year. So UK Edition is still supposed to come out regardless?

ThoseBackPages · 01-06-2022, 01:23 PM

i wonder if Wander's RC is in this as well

no10pin · 01-06-2022, 01:25 PM

Slightly higher than last year, but looks like free shipping to the states if you order enough. Last year I paid 40 euro for shipping on 5 boxes.

I still think I'll pass, it was a fun rip last year with a better rookie class, but resale value isn't there.

cj828282 · 01-06-2022, 01:29 PM

Free shipping from UK? Did boxes ship last year for free?

I would agree. But 21 Big League is pushed to February. Looks like we will have several months of 21 products to go. It probably would have been better for Topps to cancel some products like UD did with Hockey. Not sure who is going to be buying 21 when 22 and Wander RCs are out unless 22 products get pushed to later in the year. I don't see that happening with Flagship though.

Ud has delayed flagship by 5 months. 1st time ever.

I bought 24 boxes this year and 12 last year. There was a ~$50 shipping charge for the 12 last year but zero shipping this year. The 24 boxes at £64.99 comes out to £1559.81 then it lists a tax below of £259.97 but still keeps the grand total at the £1559.81. I checked my card and the converted Charge came out to the amount I’d expect the lower number to convert to using the current exchange rate ($2,117). So, I am a bit confused but I am fine with the overall charge since I enjoy breaking oddball releases in bulk. Plus, the auto list is pretty nice and the 25 card insert seems much more seller friendly in the states than last year’s insert set. Good luck to anyone who is opening this!

Thank you for alerting me to this. I also assumed Japan Edition took the place of UK. But the 78-79 Hockey Design inserts and the auto checklist look nice. I am a sucker for these releases and I would have missed this if not for your post!

The UK Big Ben /99 parallels from 2020 looked cool, but that was about it as far my interest in those cards.

Swipe79 · 01-06-2022, 02:09 PM

What's with the really high taxes?

Donmattingly23 · 01-06-2022, 02:31 PM

I found out the £64.99 price already includes the taxes. The box price is around £55. The invoice is just misleading.

Most countries outside of North America use a VAT tax, the tax is already built into the price that you pay (as opposed to a sales tax added at checkout).

I imagine the invoice is just showing you the VAT inclusive price minus the 20% VAT you don't have to pay being in the USA.

Oh thank you. I had no clue. This makes sense now (but still confusing on the invoice).

They have the VAT included in the final price - most things I but from the UK and Europe remove the VAT once the shipping shows United States.

Not my cup of tea but not a bad deal for those looking for a decent buy!

salas1991 · 01-06-2022, 06:04 PM

Thx, got 3 boxes and used a 10% coupon (apparently Topps.com coupon codes work on the UK site, too!) so came out to a little under $250 for me for the 3, so about $83/box shipped. I'll take it.

I got a couple earlier last year after they took 6 months to respond to my emails to customer service. The latest one I ended up with because I got an email saying I subscribed to the Topps newsletter, though I had already been subscribed to the newsletter. (?!) I think it may have been from when I signed up for a new Topps Japan account before finding out they wouldn't ship outside the country - maybe try that and see what happens?

Use discount code "TheChaseIsOn" for 10% off. Saw that online somewhere.

salas1991 · 01-07-2022, 10:28 AM

Looks like that was maybe just a temporary code, doesn't work for me...

Worked for me. I copied and pasted it so maybe it is case sensitive.
