If you have a 10 card prospect lot for each of the 110 prospects, would you recommend 24 hour, 3 day or 5 day listing?

Also...the same for a 20 card prospect lot of each.

Thanks

I don't know if this is best but I have been doing 3 day on the lots in the past. I may re-think that myself this year. I think we all need Chrome to be good, and it usually is. We need something to restore our faith right now. A lot of us on here have taken some real beatings recently. I hope it is just everyone saving their money for Chrome.

I'm in for 6 cases, I may rip one but I will be out of town for a week so I will also have a case of Topps chrome football yelling at me. I've never hoped for a product release to be delayed as badly as this one.

Default Early sales

Early on I got $300 for an Upton, $250 for an Alex Gordon, and $100 for a Brandon Wood last year....so I could see how a Joba could outsell Philip Hughes out of the gate.

I have two cases coming in right now and my hardest decision is figuring out whether to hold or to rip.

Is anyone here interested in all of the base or chrome prospects from two cases if I were to rip? If so, drop me a PM.

Just put in my order for 2 cases, planning on sitting on them, but most likely will bust 6 boxes or so...

sealed cases should sell for more than individual boxes. if you feel the need to bust, buy seperate boxes....... but keep the 12 box cases sealed.

Steelers is right on the money. Sealed cases will definitely sell higher per box than singles. I want to bust a LOT of my 12 case order really badly. My heart says rip the crap out of it but my brain says leave it ALL sealed.

I'm in for six, I'm probably going to shred one, but if I want to shred more I'll order it from Chris so I can keep the five sealed to make a profit when they go up. Last year I did this and made $700 a case (I got in at $650 and sold for $1350 a pop, I read it perfect, not expecting that again).

Did my research, and I believe this is the oldest thread on the board not started by blowoutcards. And yes I know he was a MOD at the time, but I think it still counts. Beat out a thread from Boo by 2 minutes.

I was going to say! "Bowman Chrome 2007 will be released..." Feels like I time warped into the best rookie year we've had in a while! Brings back definite memories though of pulling Daisuke Matsuzaka RC's left and right!

I can't wait for this product to come out. I have a feeling that I'm going open a retail pack from Wal-Mart and pull a Joba Refractor Auto (and then sell it for $300). Just a hunch.

You're wiser than I was... I pulled a F-Mart blue refractor auto shortly after release. Could've had about 250 for it, but held because I thought he was gonna be the next best thing. Sold it over the summer for maybe 40 bucks, lol... ugh
