TCUS is the pretty girl in the middle of two fat chicks.

meanwhile, Topps Chrome hobby boxes are still sitting up on Topps’s website for $300, and Chrome Update hobby boxes for $120….

I'm with you. Either hold or gamble

You need to hit a color julio or a decent auto to even be close to even.

I can confirm that there are indeed boxes that have only 1 parallel. Three out of my 10 boxes only had only 1. Two of them had 3, so it almost evened out for me.

Just some advice from someone that sold his Bowman 1st Atomic Auto for $14k back in May.

First, get this card graded. Second, don't put a weird asking price of $23,244.44. Lastly, make sure you select offers and put an amount that auto declines. Depending on the grade back I would list for $25k and take offers.

Whether or not you put a lot of weight on flagship image(you do and I don’t) everyone will certainly have one image they prefer over the other. I personally don’t have a strong opinion in this particular instance.
No question to E’s point though that as of the foreseeable future there are gonna be FAR fewer #67’s in circulation than US44’s.
And until(unless?)the prices of both products flip flop that won’t change anytime in the longer term future either.

Hot boxes just might be a thing… I’m 2 boxes into my case. The first box had a red Vogelbach. The second had 5 color including the auto!

Take the flight to Cali!

Make sure you have the card in a briefcase and have the briefcase handcuffed to your wrist!

Not suspicious at all lol

Based on this thread and eBay listings, we are still waiting to see autos from Witt Jr, Abrams, Greene, Pena, and Royce Lewis. I haven't been watching breaks or searching Twitter for hits, so I very easily could have missed one of those 5 popping up.

sandlotsportcards · 01-20-2023, 08:38 AM

I thought somewhere in this thread a Royce Lewis was pulled.

My 3 boxes are showing delivery tomorrow but I am going to doubt that based on past history. They in transit showing SC. Inevitably they will wind up in PA where they go to die for a week before moving. I will be pleasantly surprised if I get these before mid-next week.

I think someone pulled a Royce Lewis orange /25 non-auto in one of those "here's an awful break" linked videos. But I haven't seen an auto mentioned...absolutely could have missed it though.

Goldin is in NJ as well. You can drop the card off with them and they'll get it graded and sold for top dollar for you.

On a card like that, this is always an option - though I wonder if it's worth the risk of losing the 'first mover' value if someone gets theirs onto eBay before Goldin gets it into one of their auctions. Hard to say.

cbeauch87 · 01-20-2023, 09:25 AM

So with on-card autos and significantly less QC issues than TCU, can we officially cement TCUS into one of the best products of the year?

notfast · 01-20-2023, 09:33 AM

Buy collectors insurance policy for cheaper than plane ticket. Plus now you have coverage for the rest of the year.

Overnight it to psa with high declared value.

Get it back and post on eBay/social media.

Remember that people sell high end cards without Goldin. Always the comment when people get something nice, having no idea that you’ll be waiting months to actually get money when using them.

TexanFan · 01-20-2023, 09:46 AM

Opened my two boxes -

Torkelson, Torkelson RD, Kwan RD, Suzuki, Oneil Cruz RD

1 Orange, 1 Gold, & 2 Greens - only rookie was Dunand (Gold)
Tellez - Orange
Perez - Green
Boxberger - Green

It is certainty a candidate for deal of the year, along with, logofractor, but if TCUS was made available only from topps for $250 or even $300, people would be calling it “highway robbery” and a “horrible value.”

The product of the year needs to have all the accolades, regardless of buy in price and flip factor, IMO.

Mine are stuck in Indiana, 1 was suppose to be delivered today and another package tomorrow, the 1st has been there for a day already, the other got there this morning, they’ve both made a US tour and went separate directions from the same place LOL

JRX · 01-20-2023, 10:20 AM

Who exactly is spending all these "new car" prices for cards? Crypto is imploding, tech is laying off a lot. Its def not 2020 anymore, is there really still that much money flowing around paying top dollar for all this?
