Welcome to the dinged corner (or worse) club!

This 1/1 set is starting to feel like the final Willy Wonka golden ticket

matt roberson · 10-21-2020, 09:38 PM

I want one, how do I get one? Are they in the wild or do I have to order from somewhere?

What do you specifically want? A green factory set, a gold star parallel set?

calcoach2103 · 10-21-2020, 10:18 PM

Purple up! Gonna take this one off.

Target.com has had purples available for over an hour now. I'm guessing people aren't buying in such a frenzy like they were with the $25 off deal, but who knows. One thing is for certain, bots aren't all over the Target sets.

Happened to pick up 8 more for myself. Now at 88 total sets, and running out of storage space.

I have 3 sets sitting in my card room. Just sitting there. In their plastic. Taunting me. Waiting for me. They call to me. “Open me” they say.

I will not break. I will hold strong. At least for tonight.

Just left 3 on the shelf at target. Opened 1 the other day and got a Robert chrome. Not pressing my luck

Yeah, bots have moved on to FB I think. Which is great for the collectors who just want a set or two of the purple!

I'm pretty much done with the purple sets...going to hold a few and see how they go by ST.

Now, if they come back with another $25 for every $100 you spend...I'll probably be back for a few more!

Sooooo many factory sets. Sooooo many. I think the supply will be way over the demand for a bit.

unclemonkey · 10-22-2020, 10:52 AM

Opened a Target box and it was only a set. No chrome variation. So there are three sets... base, walmart variations and Target variation?

88 sets! Wow. 1st post....Welcome. All unopened? If so, have a group pic? Love seeing large unopened stashes.

jayjones82 · 10-22-2020, 02:08 PM

just got in my first Target order of 4. Lux x 2, Bichette, and Robert and all are pretty sharp, so I feel like I lucked out. Maybe I should keep the next order of 4 sealed lol.

Regardless of source (Target.com, Walmart.com, actual stores, ebay, etc), the Robert base seems to be the big RC that's always in the worst shape.

Woodyscloset on Walmart’s website. Who is this turkey?

This isn’t a buy and insta flip product (as you know). Patience is required (need to grade, etc) so this isn’t something boys are going to focus on.

I’m not a fan of keeping any sealed. Buy now, grade, and you’re going to do much better than keeping them sealed imo.

Hail2TheVictors · 10-22-2020, 04:03 PM

Got a bunch of target sets in today. 16 I total. Really interesting. One order of 4, rest were orders of 2. First 5 orders of 2 had Robert and Aquino. Overall had 6 Robert and 5 Aquino in 16 sets.

I am doing the same thing. Busting and sending to grade, definitely not a quick flip. I have 45 sets next to my couch starting at me, waiting to be shuffled through. After the initial chrome pull I get the realization that the next 20 min will be pretty mind numbing. Still love doing it! How many of the 700 do you think youll send to grade initially? I am thinking about 3-6. Want to sell the variation to recoup some $$ right away.

Purples back in stock on Target.com

what if someone opened it and didn't sort through the cards and the redemption is just sitting out there?

Yes, I know. I have around 20 of each of the guys ready for my next PSA sub. I guess I got bored breaking these...may get the fire again soon...but not now!

Also, just got 10 boxes today and I'm scared to open because the corner with the chromes look really..."wrinkly"!

LoveLondon · 10-22-2020, 07:18 PM

Opened two purples today

Aquino
Yordan

May I ask how many cards from each set are you having graded? And what company/service level are you using? Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide!
