What’s the UPC code for yellow hangers?

Also, this is the first year the Bonus packs are in the boxes. That is adding value b/c before you did have the option to choose on buying boxes with the packs or cheaper without them.

I think Series 1 is a big sleeper, exactly how much did Topps run the presses on it compared to 2019 with their 1 million pack opening promotion though?

All really good points. I'm curious on how much product is stuck in warehouse and distribution. The pricing was on a downward trend, then started increasing right after "non-essential" business (including Topps) were shuttered including LCSs. Hobby cases went from ~$600 end of March to over $900 now.

I’m pretty sure the one with yellow parallels ends in 83 unlike this standard hanger that I encountered at Walgreens today that ends in 78

Went to Target to get some bread and pop tarts and other non perishable items as my fridge broke last Sunday night and the new one I ordered won't be delivered for another 10 days.

Grabbed two blasters and saw they had a 2017 update blaster and a 2017 A&G blaster. Grabbed those also.

In 2020 I hit a Bichette rookie in each one, a javy Baez variation and a Abraham Toro and Kyle Lewis rainbow foil.

In the 2017 blasters I hit a Judge all-star photo variation, yoan moncada rookie, a pat neshek vintage stock and a Joe Musgrove framed auto.

Not a bad little haul.

Nice score on the 17 update blaster! Those things are like $50 now with the Bellinger prce explosion.

Grabbed some fat packs yesterday while out. I like to see who is on front and back before opening. Going to hang onto these two

Yeah I thought about selling it but opening is too fun. Last time I saw a 17 update blast which was probably a year ago I pulled a gold Bellinger so I was hoping for at least a bass.

[Alwayslefty]

Some incredible pulls! Are you guys finding enough fun stuff in the retail? What’s everyone’s preference blaster, fat packs, hangers? Tins?

So I just sold a bunch of these rookies in lots and I'll tell you, Bo and Gavin are gaining on Yordan in terms of price. I thought my Yordan lot would blow all the others out of the water, but I was surprised Gavin and Bo hung in and finished only a couple dollars short of Yordan.

I kept a couple Yordan's and Bo's for myself...as I feel these could easily become the new Acuna/Soto cards.

Series 1 is a fun rip still, especially if your bored at home quarantining. I do think it’s going to start drying up here soon. The set has really grown on me. The Sp’s and ssp’s this year are really nice!

Hopefully, someone decides to fix Yordan's knee at some point.

Went in to target today cause needed an Xbox controller. First score was finding that. Stores been sold out for a good minute now. Second score was this. And that too out of a single 2.99 pack!

Been out last few days looking for Mosaic I see these packs by the bundle tins, blasters, hangers. Should I pick these up?

I would pick up the tins and maybe even hangers

[Frankp2311]

Why are hobby boxes so expensive? I unintentionally acquired a few in a larger purchase from a collector and normally am used to these being below $100 by this time in the year. Is there anything good to hit or is the price high because nothing else has released due to printing delays?

[mcwildcats]

It's odd to me how much Wally has bumped up the online price of the hangers. Now $19.99 on their website. Aren't these $11.99 or so in store?

A lot of really nice rookies to pull out of Series 1. Yordan is probably the tops. Bo Bichette and Gavin Lux both have chances to win their respective ROY awards. Aristides Aquino and Nico Hoerner also rookies. Luzardo and Puk also have a shot to be something special.

In comparison to 2019 Series 1, it's 100000000000000000x better.

[glassofwater]

Is it me or is this hard to find now. Last year series 1 can still be found. On the other hand I haven’t seen. A retail restock in 2 months. In my area
