Happy release day!

All I want for Christmas is a Bo Bichette Home Advantage

Happy release day. I will not be participating this year, but I hope some of the big hits are reserved for members of this board.

Good luck out there

[Funkster]

That Gunnar is pretty slick.

That Harris is cool…what a price tho. Did some say the SSP’s are a tougher pull them in years past ?

All I was told this morning were that Jumbos were due in today, which is different from what the main account told me on Twitter.

Did anyone pre-order a Jumbo case from Blowout and is getting theirs on time?

Not a case but just a single jumbo box from BO, and it's scheduled for arrival today. I just ordered it on Thursday.

My favorite part is the $3.99 shipping on a $3000 card. I think I’m gonna go free on that.

Not to mention hobby was always supposed to be better odds than retail, and jumbo was designed to be better odds than hobby. So I'm not sure why you seem to think it has anything to do with breakers.

There are about 5 guys on here that think every decision made is about breakers, its an obsession.

All the hate on hobby, I've already seen an LCS hobby case with three gold mirrors. Color is quite rare though.

But it wouldn't be BO if the product and industry wasn't judged on a whole the day before release.

How low do we think hobby boxes get over the next few months with how hard it is to hit anything? Are we thinking $40-50?

Hobby odds are still generally slightly better than last year, so probably not. Retail has been completely decimated in slight favor of hobby and in massive favor of jumbo.

Never understood why people have a problem with that. Make an offer $3.99 less than you would have otherwise.

Damn so a hobby case generally produces 0 numbered parallels under /299? Or did that guy just get a really bad case?

[cj828282]

Will Topps load jumbos today?

I don't think so. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's usually been an LCS/big 3 type product.

[JWBlue]

Rarity aside, is there anyone else that for whatever reason prefers the pictures used for the standard base cards vs the ones they use for the Gold Mirror?

I do love the concept of the SSP stamp on the back. Topps got that right.

Bit of both. Red Rainbow Foil /149 was 1:391 last year and is 1:345 this year. 288 packs in a case...probably should've pulled at least one of the lower numbered parallels when combining the overall probabilities of each, but definitely possible not to.

BO is sold out of jumbos. Prices on these starting to creep up elsewhere

Have a feeling hobby price will hold pretty steady and jumbos will creep toward $200 as word spreads on odds, and there's some perception of dwindling supply of them.

[rysportguy]

I really wish michael harris wasn't sideways. Does that generally impact the value?

[Stech36]

Got my tracking from blowout at 8am this morning…. I guess I’ll get these tomorrow.

Opened a jumbo case last night. I don't think it was that great at all. Here are the highlights.

0 Gold Mirrors
6 autos (David Ortiz on card 1988, Gabriel Moreno Gold /50, World Series Auto of Framber Valdez and 2 other pitchers I have never heard of.
2 Color out of the Silver Packs (Buster Posey Red /5 which was way off centered and Rickey Henderson Purple)
1 Mother's Day George Kirby
1 Black Riley Greene and Miggy Detroit Combo Card
2 Independence Day Goldschmidt and no name relief pitcher
Nolan Gorman Orange Ice /299 and 1 Gold Foil
2 Christopher Morel golds /2023 and a Rainbow foil
1 Trout Gold /2023
1 Pujols Gold /2023
1 Moreno Gold Foil and rainbow foil
1 Bobby Witt Jr 1988 Patch /75

That looks like a pretty decent case to me. What would you consider a good case?
