What cracks me up, is you can STILL buy 2019 Heritage boxes on Topps website lol

What a trainwreck that product was

Or a combination of something above

I think the manufacturers are cautious about oversupplying the market, so I'd expect a consistent step up in production versus a massive increase all at once.

I hope they don't go with your first option. Seems to me that flippers might be less of a problem if price points are increased but maybe I'm wrong.

I really do think it's under priced which encourages the flippers to go nuts. It could just be an escalating mess into the stratosphere too though.

At 40 bucks a box it comes to 1.25 per card for Chrome. With it being a more expensive product than say Series 1 or 2 it isn't totally insane. For series 2 it would be .40 cents a card. (Lets ignore that the series sucks except for Robert

) The hobby stuff has priced itself out of being a value at all. It's really only for the faint of heart at this point.

Don't get me wrong I would love them to stay at 20 bucks, but that doesn't matter if I have to quit my job and camp the store to get some at that price.

So I pulled a very nice purple Alvarez and I’m super stoked but then I look at this bottom left corner and it is dinged really bad. Is this something they would replace? Wouldn’t mind waiting awhile to get it back if they would indeed replace it

Wishful thinking to believe Topps will release more retail on their site?

Yes, it won’t happen but it’d be nice. Can’t find any in store, luckily I scored with target online Friday for the only restock humans could’ve got lol

You can try but it’s doubtful

Someone pulled the Yordan non-auto superfractor, posted on a Facebook group.

Does anyone else's eyes immediately catch the thin border around the Rookie Cup logo? Or is it just me?

I contributed to the flipper's last night since I have absolutely no desire to drive around KC and come up empty handed. I bought a total of 54 cello's and 5 blasters for a little over a grand on ebay. I feel dirty. At least I got $50 in ebay bucks.

Metsaholic230 · 08-11-2020, 03:38 PM

Honestly looking at the prices you might be better off just doing that. I mean I see value packs at 15 bucks... Blasters 35 with free shipping. At those prices I'm not sure why they are bothering.

How do you go about getting eBay bucks? I feel like I've spent enough money over the last 3 months to have qualified by now..

Has anybody else that placed an order Friday from Topps for blasters not gotten an email confirmation about shipping yet? Should I be getting worried?

jjo1776 · 08-11-2020, 07:07 PM

For y’all that got blasters and value packs from the Target reload Friday have y’all gotten shipping notification yet?

I am still awaiting my shipping confirmation for my order on Friday. It still shows as "processing" under My Orders. My PayPal funds left the account right when I ordered though. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

Why is 2019 Heritage a trainwreck? You take the first series and combine it with the high numbers it is a killer set. Rookie cups of Acuna, Soto, Gleyber, Ohtani.. Tatis rookie, alonso rook(e, Vlad jr rookie.. 1970 isnt most people's favorite design but I think it is pretty good. Also nice that most of the SPs were big stars.
