I'd bet we probably have similar stashes. My single buying has been almost exclusively Acuna. In 2018 when I was busting a lot I kept getting mad because I hit more Soto than I did Acuna, but I'm not as mad about it now.

2020 topps chrome
Are both lou bob and bichette redemptions ?
Thinking 2020 will eventually catch 2019 but this is a concern, I'm sure pulling these two are super tough anyhow

And this, my friend, is one of the most exciting aspects of collecting wax..... with the right Product/year/box, you can get into it because of player A, and 4-6 years later, the value was actually in Player B ( but you have both / or neither / because it’s wax! )

I have some friends and relatives that can’t wrap their heads around this part ( them asking / me answering ) ~ always the same 2 questions:

Q - “ why is that box worth $1,500?! “
A - “ it might have 1 or even 2 rookie cards of ...... ! “

Q - “ then why don’t you open it to get those cards? “
A - “ open it? That would be crazy - I’d likely get nothing “

This is very very true. For me it's taken busting a ton of cases/boxes and just getting destroyed multiple times to finally beat it into my head that the big RC's ARE in there as long as I don't open! Buying a lot of the bigger parallels/autos etc of the guys I want also helps me keep sealed.

Think print runs have been going up and up and up. Might hurt mid to long hold on 2019 and forward. But Im not well versed in the sealed wax sector just assuming.

Added some more 2018 wax to the stash from our BO overlords, and SRP wax from Topps is always a no brainer.

Hey you got one! I remember you were asking about my 2008 U+H box. Glad you were able to snag one.

You have a good memory

this box was VERY hard to find ~ at this moment, if you add up all the Hobby Boxes for Sale on eBay and MySlabs, and add them to all the boxes available thru a google search and large retailers like BO, the total number available is ....... 0

One sold at Auction last month at Heritage- for $999 with BP. I was the 2nd highest bidder at $980 / got sniped in the final 2 seconds

Gah. Had a chance to buy a jumbo for $675 last year and passed on that and only grabbed the hobby. Oops.
