Isn’t this what Houdini and Phil Hughes do?

I’m not sure, but if so, I also think that’s lame.

Consistency is key. People love to criticize breakers for jacking up prices, but are cool when someone does it as long as they’re a member of the BO forums.

If you dislike breakers because they Jack up prices for collectors, dislike them all.

If you don’t have a problem with some breakers, how can you complain that only some are jacking up prices?

And I’m not talking about obnoxious ridiculous behavior like Backyard, or the fact that panini likely gives them loaded boxes. It’s fine to like breakers but dislike that stuff.

Idk that cancel sucks. No one else yet? Why is only one person being targeted? Hmm

Do they? I thought they just had deals through BO.

I only ordered 3 boxes because I have a low tolerance for wax risk after all the wax I bought in 2021 being worth less than half of what I paid. That said, I'm sure my 3 boxes are safe, but I'm still praying anyways.

No, all information on the accounts was unique to each account.

No idea about Phil, or for that matter other products, but houdini said on stream that he had picked up all his Sapphire Update through BO yesterday, not through a bunch of Topps accounts.

Yep.

So far I haven't seen the chargebacks show up on my cards but I received the Credit Memos for each order.

How do you have 10 different addresses?!

Family and friends, I assume. We all got Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas, brothers, sisters, parents, friends, etc....

By calling Fish and agreeing to a quantity and price, presumably. The same way any other longtime high-volume customer buys from a retailer.

By purchasing them from Topps at the direct/wholesale rate, presumably?

He was very upset when his dozens of mc accounts got clipped so it seemed like he needed to buy product directly from topps.

Does that surprise you?

What would his update sapphire do compared to his actual sapphire?

That’s not how it works for releases like this.

Unless fanatics changed things Jan 1. Then again, wouldn’t surprise me if places like blowout had some backdoor deal for stuff like this.

Did you use the same phone/wifi for each order? IP address would be easy to track even for Topps.
