Even if $110 is the real number, the 2023 boxes are $150 on the secondary market and, if I recall correctly, were pretty much never available on the secondary market for less than that. It's the same old thing from the 2021 era - why should scalpers make a bunch of money just because Topps isn't raising the price to match the market?

The reason the prices got so high was because Topps made the appearance that they were "limited" print run when they only sold through the NY store. In reality, the print run is much higher. This is just what Topps does. They limit "pre-orders" to a certain amount so they can say they sold out. This drives the secondary FOMO price up. They then release later on release day a limited amount but have a higher price point going when they release to everybody. This is market manipulation by a monopoly at its finest.

They have 0 incentive to keep prices low when breakers buy and people buy from breakers. There's 0 regulation here, and until the government steps in looking at both the horizontal and vertical integration that they've obtained a monopoly in, nothing will change until the economy goes to crap and people stop buying from large breakers. Breakers got this by the multiples of cases.

As well as -LE and -L/E ..... but this assumes people put logofractor in their description. Which often, they don't.

I bought a few singles. Didn’t do it for me. No big deal, I find them easy to ignore.

Same here. It's just another parallel that doesn't warrant a separate release

Screw that. I called for a pre-order before I knew the price. I'm ignoring the callback. That's just sickening. 60% markup from last year
