Great idea, I picked up a bunch for 65 each. Grade Acuna and Gleyber and you should be in the black already, and can freeroll the foil packs.

Anyone else worth grading? Ohtani maybe?

We probably were looking at the same hobby case, in any case.. it sold.

Wow fat pack cases no longer in stock on blowout. Glad I pulled the trigger for $1950 when I did. Came out to about $18ish per which is great considering that's what potentially damaged packs from Walmart/PC/Big Lots are going for on ebay. Chances of pulling gems from a sealed case are a lot higher (plan to keep case sealed for a long while). Looks like single packs on blowout are now $35 per. I wonder if this will have an affect on ebay pack prices.

Also noticed sealed hanger 8 packs are going for $425 on blowout now. I was able to get 2 for $320 per last week.

Now it looks like $500.

D-Lite · 03-02-2020, 02:34 PM

Wow. The question is when to start listing... It's crazy that just the beginning of spring training is causing these increases.

Retail has made significant gains lately but hobby really hasn't. It's about to explode I have to think.

There isn't enough hobby being made available. Cases being trickled out one at a time, and there are currently none available on the big 3 for hobby or jumbo.

That's a box. No cases out there.

I'm still surprised Heritage HHN isn't moving

I believe DACW had a case last night that sold, then listed another today and it sold.

BTW, this is exactly what happened last March. Supply constraint by the big boys and a big run up in prices. Things fell back to earth in April, then took off in August.

And there are redemptions coming so sales should start to spike, though that may flood the market and lower prices. Though neither is happening yet.

I'm surprised.

I know the fad of Heritage has faded (surprisingly) but 2018 HHN seems like a steal compared to update.

edit: have the acuna auto redemptions expired?

Heritage is a set builders dream at like $60 a box.
