With Ohtani in this (he wasn't last year) and Skenes live autos, this will easily be a moneymaker for those who flip. I was able to get to and will likely rip both. Love this product.

Yeah, I took a chance it will do better than last year based on the rookie class.

I disagree simply because of the format. It痴 so easy to break. One pack, 7 cards, 2 autos, 2 parallels (I think). Very fast. Very little work.

Frustrating. One my favorite sets each year and like MC because of it. Sold out by the time I could order.

Yeah, but it has been viewed by the general public as dog poop and has terrible resale value which is the primary driver of breaking. Also not shiny, too thick and UGLY

I pulled a Red /5 Ohtani...had in my store for two years before it finally sold for like $150ish

My comment was more of an oy veh and less of a why

Did i mention i like this product?

I had two windows open for ordering (due to yesterdays failed Sapphire fiasco) and just now looking at my confirmation email I guess I ended up with 3 boxes instead of just 2.

I mean, don't they have a separate account for shops and breakers? If so, they probably only allocate very little amount to us regular folks. And, unless you run a bot...good luck to you. With that being said, I got 3 boxes.

Yeah, I got two boxes but spun for awhile. The product drops this year are just crazy. These products never went this fast before. I didn't even think about getting a case with my previous attempts.

Haha, check out all the listings on eBay.

Can't remember seeing so many Brooklyn Collection box listings in past years.

Already way more Brooklyn presells listed than Prizm NFL FOTL which had 3 times the print run.

Remembered about the release going into office.
Forgot about it while in a meeting.
Happens way too often to me these days...

Basically, 1 in 36 chance in any box to get any particular player. So, basically, 1 in 18 to to get one of two players you're chasing...if all autos were printed the same. Unfortunately, Topps doesn't tell us how many autos of each player exist, so if Ohtani is in there only /25, not all things are equal. Good luck to you in the chase! (editorial note; my whole purpose in this is: I wish that Topps would publish ahead of time the number of autos each player has in each product, so people could better weigh the risk. You can calculate the odds in Vegas, and this is basically nothing but gambling without knowing odds).

There's an easy reason for this: Topps is "encouraging" breakers to go on to Fanatics live. I guarantee they're reserving a lot for that. Add in the fact that this year's rookie class is sooooo much deeper than past year's and pretty much everything is gone quickly this year.

Just wait until next year with the rookie class and Topps pricing everything thinking folks will pay 20% more for each product with a lower tier rookie class, and you'll see stuff sit a lot longer. Dylan Crews, James Wood, Coby Mayo, Matt Shaw, maybe Roman Anthony and Jacob Wilson. The class looks ok but I'm not sure of any generational talents potential there like there was this year with the Jacksons, Langford and Skenes. (Not saying they are generational, but you see the potential to be).

I stills think cases shouldn't be an option for online exclusive products. All it does is limit how much regular folks can actually get.
