Cactus Jack Chrome cards coming at Wrestlemania 41

But if that's what gets your rocks off, go for it.

I personally don't love the setup but I wouldn't have brought a box anyway as I only PC a couple wrestlers and generally my box price limit is ~$300 but its going to be frustrating for Giulia or Vaquer collectors.

Yes it’s funny people are this upset over an exclusive card set, you’ll survive not getting a box with their first autos. Something actually maybe people could be upset about in a non funny way is WWE hoarding all the hobby as well as a ton of retail for WWE World when it’s impossible to find. Being mad you’re left out of one set for mania is humorous though.

Don’t forget to rush and support the next release too like everyone will that really shows your customer dissatisfaction lol

Or no autograph at all. There should be a few thousand boxes made based on volumes of parallels and set size, too.

(FYI: Checklist was at the link since day it was posted.)

Is anyone actually opening these or just flipping? I've just seen one Cena auto posted on reddit and I saved searches for Penta/Vaquer/Giulia autos and none have popped...but when you search for the boxes, PLENTY to choose from lol

Everyone is at Mania, they don't want to open product and risk damaging the cards during their travels.

Probably a combination of what whitmm said and people seeing they are selling for almost 3x cost and deciding what to do with them. I mean I collect cards and love opening boxes but if a box I purchased went up 250% in value its going on eBay. A lot someone can do in Vegas with an extra $600.

Mine had no auto. Probably the worst box produced.

Wrestlemania ain't cheap, especially if you're there for 4-5 days...

I don't blame any of these people for buying a pack and throwing it on eBay to recoup a good chunk of the cost of their trip.

You'd like to think that if they are there, they can pay for the trip with no issues, but I've met wrestling fans that would rather buy the new Cody Rhodes tshirt than pay their electric bill...

I'm 100% with you there. Especially without even a guarenteed auto, if I was there and got a box or two they'd be on eBay faster then you can blink. Even if I then used that money to buy singles or something.

I am not good at "how many boxes" math but I assume without official pack odds its a lot harder and/or impossible to figure out? I'm not a "collect sealed wax" guy but this might be a time a long term hold would be a good idea if the Rock, Giulia, and Vaquer autographs aren't redemptions. If either of the women turn into main roster superstars and their low serial autos haven't popped up there could be some real value down the road with how these were sold.

I haven’t received my boxes to be able to open any yet but the few boxes I’ve seen broken online have had 3-4 parallels per box instead of the 2 stated on the box!

Yeah it seems to be 2 per pack not box.

Anyone win the raffle for a box?

Didn't even know about it until it was over.

7 entries between family members
No winners

[Bob Ross]

Travis Scott site raffles are maybe the most rigged raffles there are. Never expect to win them. All stock is backdoored.

[ThatGuyPal]

Bob like Paul is a wiseman and correct, can still try but he’s not wrong

[Joshi City]

Boxes on eBay are "down" to the low $800s. I'm not going to try to guess what the floor is but I do find it interesting that no Rock, Giulia, or Vaquer autos have appeared on eBay yet. So either they went to fans that are keeping them in their collections or people just aren't opening the boxes. The lower serial cards are selling well though, not "$800 risk" well but well above Chrome cards to the same number. Course, still TBD if that holds.

[thepilluh]

I did get a box on Friday. At least on Friday, the line was not more than a couple hundred people long come pick-up time and I'm sure some trickled in after I picked up mine. The show was open 6 days, so maybe 2,000 boxes produced if it they sold 250-300 per day?

I have it still sealed, have not decided to flip it or open it yet.

$15k, Excellent Condition. Seems about right.

[LaloSalamanca]

Box prices dropping on ebay..the hype seems to already be wearing down

[ThatGuyPal]

Well strictly flippers are gonna get nervous and drop prices, for them it’s about making the most possible right away, hoping for FOMO but after that the goal is just to make profit and not have to sit on it, it’s not a ton but $400 is $400 if you had no intention on opening. There’s no bounties, buybacks or even Rock autos (for sale) or seen pulled to push this and wrestling fans have patience and don’t impulse buy as much as other sports, anyone who sells wrestling cards and sees the watchers they’ll get with no bites know lol so it makes sense these are going down.

Still stand on it likely being the best odds at hitting a Rock auto in product this year though unless he has like 1 auto

[nextlevel10]

Same thing happened with the baseball Cactus Jack boxes, now they’re $2500. Prices dropped after release while all of the flippers took their easy profit, then steadily rose once that process was over. The cards look cool, the auto checklist is great and people seem to love Travis Scott. I’m guessing his autos in this will be one of the bigger chases with The Rock!

[ThatGuyPal]

Everyone hates listed prices and wants comps unless it’s convenient lol when’s the last time it SOLD for $2500? Lol
