Exclusive MLBPA license has robbed us of a Burger Prizm / Tacofractor showdown.

Anyway, I cashed in my MVP buyback credits for a Jumbo so I'm part of the problem.

Got shipping notification this morning from SC. Hopefully they arrive on release day. I hear there are still people who ordered direct from Fanatics/Topps who haven't gotten notifications yet and are pissed because they were told they would have them in hand before release day. One day folks will learn lol

scotchtape0 · 07-24-2023, 11:38 AM

Still no shipping notification for my order. Sucks seeing people ripping their orders already while mine hasn't even shipped.

Really thought monster/mega boxes were WM exclusives. I guess no more:

Watched a couple of box openings on Youtube and admittedly the cards look nice. Specifically the parallels. The colors pop. Definitely look better than last year.

crazy4kinsler · 07-24-2023, 12:34 PM

Saw a couple breaks. Really nice cards. Look forward to getting Rangers for the PC

Adrenalized87 · 07-24-2023, 12:51 PM

Preordered from Blowout, SC, and Topps. Got my shipping notifications from SC and Blowout, but nothing from Topps. When I preordered Bowman from them, I got it the weekend before release date. Looking like it won’t even make it here by release date now.

notoriousrmb · 07-24-2023, 01:24 PM

Anyone pre-ordering from Topps is part of the pricing problem. Always order from another source, never their website.

That is horrendous.

How is the QC? full of lines, scratches, dimples, and roller marks?

Has Topps been restocking product after it's sold out? I am completely out of the loop when it comes to buying sealed product on their site

From the breaks I've seen so far much improved over last year but so far a very very small sample size.

Weren't the pre orders on Topps less than big retailers?

jharri71 · 07-24-2023, 02:50 PM

I'll wait to buy blue refractors of Cubs in 2024 once they are all opened up. I always stay a year behind.

STLtoMN · 07-24-2023, 03:24 PM

They should've gone with a street taco vs. the Taco Bell taco to give it a lil more pizzaz!

SoCalsFinest · 07-24-2023, 03:38 PM

That's one of the stupidest looking cards I've ever seen.

LOL, I clicked the link and now I'm 'in line' to read more about tacos from a sports card webpage that isn't up yet.

What the hell is this? Why does one of the 30 refractor variations get its own webpage (eventually)? Also, I can wait for the taco-related verbiage on the back of each card, that will make it all worth it.

OlMissCollector · 07-24-2023, 03:44 PM

Cards look nice but the numbering being on the front and not the back I dislike

Guess they're trying to make them uniform like bowman

Its already out and breaking on line. Cards listed on EBAY.
Watched a blaster break on the weekend. QC looks miles above last year (esp the travesty that was update) colors look great (pink pops)

For some crazy reason it looks like blasters got shipped first.

Is it just me, or do these TacoFractors just look plain silly? Now LogoFractors on the other hand …those are some sweet looking Cards!

"Orders taken during the pre-order window will begin shipping ahead of the release date, July 26, 2023"

So much for getting them on release day.
