We talking about boxes?

Ok team, I consolidated all the posts on today's catch up. Many posts definitely did not make the cut.

Here's the edited version for anyone who enjoys this P2020 set and wants to see what's been said today.

It's all gonna be fine, guys. They are little pieces of cardboard with men drawn on them. We will weather this storm and it's really not worth trying to draw each other offside.

I cannot wait for this week's offering. I am so excited seeing this project get to card #100!!!

Other than waiting in anticipation for cards to arrive, I am really thankful for TOPPS to have this project out! Easy way to pay, Easy discounts, no dutch auctions or crazy price points at release.

and it allowed people to make some cash on the side, A LOT of money early, Still some today!

Dreams of Basketball, Football, Panini art cards, UD doing a Jordan Art card set all seem possible, but not probable.

I love the artists enthusiam to get their work out to share, and also about their optimism on hopes on getting this project out there for people to buy!

The last 3-4 months in what we have been facing, added onto the incredible social unrest this weekend this is a welcomed distraction thinking about ART, Baseball cards!!

Keep it going!!

While that is significant, I still have a gain of ~$276,000 over the course of the last 10 days or so. And substantially more than that from the beginning since I have made most of my purchases direct from Topps.

Sale price declines are slowing. Some cards even went up the last 24 hours.

One card I am paying close attention to is the Rivera by Oldmanalan. The low print run, popular player, and unpopular artist, (at first), combo continuing to yield such healthy prices might bode very well for P2020.

I like this Thiele better than his Koufax and Jeter. Really I only liked the Trout Thiele up until this point. This might be the second Thiele I buy since the lighting is more tame in this one. I almost bought the Thiele Mays.

I don't care for the "angelic" look some of his other cards have (the inner illumination, a sort of aura coming from within the subject) -- though I do understand the appeal to some people. This was very popular in art in the 80s-90s in the midwest.

Thank you for the information! But I just sold 15 of them on ebay for $125!

Cujobyte · 06-01-2020, 01:53 PM

Why weren't these boxes sealed so buyers could still see if they had a chance at the Gold Frame 1/1???

Snakeonia · 06-01-2020, 01:54 PM

Most of my boxes would grade 9 or better. Did have few show up in the low 3 range one with paper-loss..

Where did you hear that from? A support staff emailed me saying they don't require the original box to be included.

That's wouldn't work anyways, most buyers would assume the sellers weighed them. The metal frame would be heavier than the other cards without it.

That box is ridiculously cool. Is it only used to hold the companion card?

dodgersinfinity · 06-01-2020, 01:56 PM

Boxes! Boxes! We talking about boxes!

Sounds like sneakerhead, they buy a $500+ shoe but complain about the box

JRX · 06-01-2020, 01:57 PM

Wait, people care about the condition of the boxes? Is this a toy forum now?

Everyday we stray further from card collecting.

It real lazy to just toss them in a padded envelope without additional protection and it opens you up to this situation.

PDCCollectibles · 06-01-2020, 01:59 PM

Prices do seem to be leveling off which is a good thing.....

One of these days all the complaints will be exhausted. The and only then can we enjoy the parabolic growth again, that adrenaline shot and illusions of grandeur was better than most street drugs can offer nowadays.

Thanks for this as I’ve only read through the pages 1-10. Can you do this for 11-941?
