Black Friday sales are a Huge disappointment.

cardshopmd · 11-29-2025, 12:32 PM

Honestly No matter it you buy from Blowout, Da Cardword, Rbicru, Steelcity All of the Black Friday Sales have been disappointing. They Seem to be all pushing the Retail and Blaster boxes that are not worth breaking in quantity.

Has anyone had any luck finding really good deals on quality cases ?

I didn't even bother looking.

I saw Bundesliga Chrome Hobby boxes on 'sale' for the same price they have been for the past two years.. while not on sale, and didn't put any more effort into it.

Soccer? Not really. Haven't seen any good Hobby deals. Was looking at Copa America and Club World Cup retail but I didn't pull the trigger.

It's shocking how little Hobby is now available at a decent price.

Not exactly a shock.....everything is so overpriced than even when it's on sale it's still not a good deal.

This is the time of year I do most of my buying of cases as of right now I have not bought anything. I don't open retail or blasters. or lite cases. I agree with you everything is over priced and your not getting a return on the cases when you sell singles. Bundesliga chrome and finest a few years ago i was getting them between $350 and $400 a case I think we opened a total of 80 cases it could have been more, they way it broke even at $1 per color and $2 an auto you could break even

the Bundesliga Chrome you seen actually went back up in price and for the love of god I don't know why.

I was surprised that there were no attractive options at all on any of the sites on hobby boxes. Had been waiting for weeks, hoping to put in a decent size order and get some cheap rips, but I haven’t ordered anything.

I'm with you on this one. If nothing changes on cyber Monday I am just going to go get my self a 100 inch TV and work on getting all of my old inventory on eBay.

They sell for $200/box on Ebay

allabtsprt · 12-01-2025, 03:26 PM

Agree with everyone. All the biggies and most hobby shops are trying to pedal the crap that they can't sell which can now be found at all retail outlets by the ton. Hope they get stuck with it and learned a lesson about greed. Remember the days when you could actually get quality hobby boxes on Black Friday and it was something that you saved for and looked forward to? Luckily, my hobby shop had much, much better deals than the "big boys".

The best possible autos are Ozil or Aguero. These were $100 for a while, even at $150 it's not a good deal.

Maybe, but I'm not an auto collector — I prefer my cards unmarked.

I picked out the TV that I wanted and its out of stock in my area. Best buy will not ship it from New Jersey to Baltimore. Because the NJ warehouse only stocks stores and all TVs sold must come out of the Baltimore warehouse. Make no sense.

I opened enough of that and its not selling. I have a ton of it to add back in to my eBay store.

I've only opened a couple soccer boxes in my life but wanted to open something for Christmas...everything else I saw was outrageous but for only a minute I saw a blaster case of 2025 Fifa World Cup Prizm on DaCardWorld for 299. I put the $25 coupon on it and got it for 275 dlvd.

I'm reading all about the product and people have some complaints, but at least I (supposedly?) have a chance at a Kaboom or low numbered parallel (tho not Color Blast).

Those are not terrible, I picked up a case of Megas for under 600 here.
