wrong on the bots - it's been proven - you can't add to cart if you aren't logged into your account AND have a 582 membership.

Once you've completed your 2 box limit, even if you are logged in the site won't allow you to add anymore to your cart.

They released on general UK Topps so that is where all the bots got them.

Yall suckered me into buying 2 boxes of soccer Sapphire.

This is my first 100%-ahead-of-time wax flip purchase. Zero chance I'm holding or busting this.

Nothing about UEFA Sapphire in the afternoon Topps email. May be another silent drop like GPK was last week.

Pump away! People not involved in soccer won’t know the value of this release until it’s too late.
Cards in here will be worth some serious $$, if we get the true sapphire color, HUGE!
Just from the checklist you have tons of cards worth money......
Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappe, Sancho, Kane, De Bruyne, Felix, Van Dijk, Salah, Lewandowski, Son, Pulisic, Werner, Havertz, Davis. Etc!
Big rookies with value;
Haaland, Fati, Mount, Kang-in Lee.

That list is big and I’m leaving out some good names!

We have had blue colored sapphire atomics all year so not sure why Topps would not continue with blue. There are no blue colored # parallels so I believe these will be blue. The only time the sapphires were not blue was for 2019 TCS and 2019 BDS.

Topps really screwed up 2019 TC Sapphires! Can you imagine Tatis w/ an actual true blue Sapphire? Of course they screwed up not doing any Tatis SP Flagship in '19 as well.

Everyone seems willing to do the Blowout deal. I'm happy to buy at $250 as well.

Has Blowout already posted a bounty?

This is the secret to me keeping my boxes sealed. Garbage Pail Kids and Soccer!

I know very little about either (except for the GPKs I had 30 years ago), but I know other people love them.

This is odd. It's still not sold out for the Mont Club.

Or it's back up. One or the other.

Im thinking the same the base will be blue sapphire. for GPK Blue Sapphire are listed as /99 so the guess they will go with silver atomic look whch is weird since you get that in the blasters

So as long as its Sapphire, you should be fine in the long run especially at the entry point.

Hopefully not odd at all and the new norm. Gpk was still up by now. Means they are doing a better job keeping the limits on these and bots out

GPK was still up for MC members the next day and probably an hour before it went live to the public.

As nutty as this sounds, I've made two purchases that aren't baseball and I'm going to guess that my membership is already paid off if I sell right now.

I didn't even see GPK go live to the general public.

These just came out of nowhere!!!

Didn't read my emails until this afternoon; got home from my P/T job and was like "What is this?"

Purchased my two boxes out of curiosity, and then started reading this thread.

Reading this thread the more I'm regretting telling my buddy I'd get him a box at cost once I saw I can buy 2. I just told him he owes me any Juventus cards he pulls.

Boxes are pretty much at $300 BIN right now. $540 ish after fees-160. On soccer right now if your a new member you about $100 to the good. Renewed OG member $200 to the good....off one release with nothing more then printing a new label and smacking it onto a box.
