I'm sure you'll have a very long time to make that decision. Please note that I fully expect sometime tonight for these to be "sold out" but not really "sold out".

I feel like they're playing games with superfractors so it's harder to calculate how many cases are made.

Same…despite me knowing better, I’m going to open mine. Last year, I got a Coco Montes green auto and no good rookies or star vets. He’s 28, and hast .200 in 10 at-bats this season. My luck’s gotta be better than that, right??? For $500, please tell me I do better than that this year! Out of all seriousness, I know what I’m getting into. Probably my last year though. I could eat the Monte’s st $350, but I’m not sure I can eat another Coco Montes (or this year’s variation of him ) at $500.

You better hope Coco's mom doesn't read threads here. Reading this kind of disappointment with her son would break her heart.

Nahhh, I’ll open it, but I’m leaning towards it being my last especially if they raise prices another $50-100 a box next year. I reached the point where I’m tapping out. I have a high risk tolerance because I’ve done well over the years, but the tolerance tops out of getting a $5 card in a $600 box.

The price will go down $50 but only if you pay $3000 at the start of the year to get the: MLB, NBA, NFL, Marvel, Star Wars & GPK sapphire boxes.

I'm kidding, of course. Though I'm sure the price tag will climb to new heights that turn me away.

But are you really kidding? Let’s be honest, what you said isn’t far away from reality.

That's from one box? Four color and two autos is quite the haul.

Yes, all from 1 box. I'd say it beat the odds or these things may be loaded.
