You all loved when you could resell your Chrome boxes for $400, guess it’s different when it’s you paying the $400 lol

Yup lots of salty people on this forum because they can’t flip and make a quick $200 bucks a box anymore.

[Kingofkings1281]

I just enjoy breaking cases and collecting. I’m certainly not doing that at $5k a case.

You may be confusing people that post in this thread vs. the NFL/NBA/MLB threads. Very few posters in the wrestling forum flip boxes. Some definitely sell singles from boxes they open but higher percentage are just wrestling fans that like buying wrestling boxes for non-stupid prices.

[Joshi City]

I do however think this will be priced below Chrome and Cactus Jack. Finest just doesn't have the prestige and from looking at what is coming up there are other "higher end" sets on the way. Not saying it will be cheap but $200 or so retail sounds about right.

I assure you most of us just want to be able to rip the stuff at a reasonable price. You wouldn't know that because you don't ever post in this area. TGP is an idiot and doesn't speak for any of us.

I opened all five of the boxes I won on the EQL so not everyone is looking for a quick flip.

Same here

[Joshi City]

Friendly reminder that the pre-order is today at 1 PM ET on EQL. No price yet.

[pumpkinescobar]

Is there a checklist out for this yet? I haven't seen one, but maybe one of you has?

[TimmyWeiss]

$260 per box on the Topps Twitter for pre-order

Happy to be wrong on this.

[TimmyWeiss]

I predict it will sell out and then the $500 plus on post market. The auto list will probably match Chrome with the additional talent, so this could be the best release until the relics start releasing. Either way, much better than that CJ junk.

[thenightman]

I’d actually try to get on the preorder, but fanatics still hasn’t fixed my login issue.

[jmarascojr]

I'm in the EQL for 2 boxes, we'll see how it goes...

[CardCollector19]

In for the max on cases and boxes

Will report back when I don’t get anything

[LionsJets1323]

Went in for 4 hobby boxes/half a case to rip. Will report back as well if I win.

I swear, for every one of these "EQL" products, they're gauging general demand via the website vs. what they initially estimated it would be and recalculating EVERYTHING - as in, how much will go to breakers/major accounts/shop allotments and what's "left" for EQL, etc.

So, if their initial estimated demand via the EQL 'drops' is within reason, there will be quick 'results'. If it's way higher than expected, might take longer to sort out - especially since it's in their interest to figure out just how much more they can make by selling it at their 'drop' price, in multiple box shipments, vs. whatever their 'direct account' pricing is.

Who knows? I'm just speculating because, why not?

I've entered a ton of these and it's usually been an hour or so. Who knows? I believe everything and nothing when it comes to this process.

This is part of what happens, yes. I've said it a thousand times in every EQL thread and will do it again. When they use EQL, it is simply a scam to backdoor as much as possible to breakers so that users will just say, "oh well, I didn't get picked." Instead of complaining about instant sell outs for FCFS, with ironically always has a ton more stock than EQL.

EQL is always the LEAST chance we have at anything. Also, as stated before, the higher odds next time is a scam as well.

Felt like the breakers took it on the nose a bit with Cactus Jack, with some on Reddit saying they actually lost money on breaks, or just outright cancelled breaks altogether. Wonder if that plays into how much Finest breakers decide they want to take on?

[MTBRM]

I'm assuming at this point I didnt get selected, otherwise it's insane it's this big of a delay on EQL these days.
