Just load up on a couple Fanatics GC deals ($80 for $100 worth). Then wait for it to become available on Fanatics.com.

You'll get your sub-$200 price sooner than a couple months.

Bam!

I was hoping to get my one but the price makes it a pass.

Same here but the message from Topps was only English characters can be used in shipping address. Tried it couple of times and same message. Oh well, saves me $225!

Ask them about the price too

I've never opened a box of the Finest Flashbacks before. Does anybody know what you're likely to get for the $225 MSRP?

Based on the 2023 odds, you should expect to get the following:
92 common base (implied)
5 uncommon base (implied)
1 rare base (implied)
1 SP base (implied)
1 Refractor (guaranteed)

Autos are 1:5.5 boxes

No idea on the value though

Since all the big names have both common base and rare base, the common base aren't going to be worth anything.

It’ll be ~$250 delivered and you’ll have 1/8 of a set and a handful of refractors of guys you’ve never heard of. You’ll see some big hits here but odds are long.

How many cards outside of autos and low numbered refractors would even go for 250?

Ah, the box promises only one refractor of a guy you've never heard of.

[txrngr34]

Is Fanatics doing any market research?

Maybe the reputation will have people buying?

But wow, $225 seems like they just want to keep screwing us over until we finally realize that no one is making us bend over but ourselves.

[JoinerCP]

Dang, I was all geared up to grab a couple boxes for my son and I to rip but that's just too high for me to justify.

Are they making this the new norm and just banking on people's addiction to keep driving them to purchase?

I really thought this was going to be ~175-185. Even more so now that i saw the checklist. I guess I'll wait and just hunt singles.

[anusinha]

225 seems like a lot, but thats the state of the market right now. TCU at 160/350 for hobby jumbo.... lol. Cosmic chrome at 350, Gilded is what... 4 cards for 650? Welcome to the world of gambling degens.

[phil]

$225 is not the state of the market. It just reflects that most of the print run is probably being sold to distributors and/or the big 3 for much less.

Finest Flashbacks is my favorite product. It's the primary reason I continue to sign up for MC. I've bought a dozen or so boxes of every release so far. That said... not only am I not buying, I think it's the final nail in the coffin for me as far as buying or even caring about anything Fanatics puts out. Best of luck, Rubin.

Bro I’m literally in the same boat. I’ve opened so much of this. Singles are so weak I can’t really justify it

And they said Fanatics would be good for the hobby.

For what it's worth, Fanatics provides nice opportunities on occasions.

2023 Bowman Chrome BB mega boxes for $33.68 per (after sales tax, shipping and handling fees) on their website with the use of 15% discount code and Fanatics GCs ($80 for $100 worth). You can't beat that deal.

Danielle Fishel Topps Now autos (with "Topanga" inscribed) for $33.21 shipped after $40 discount code use. Easy.

Shoot, 2023 TC Sapphire BB dropshipped to a group breaker for a ~$100 gain. Yes please.

Just need to know when to pull the trigger and when not to (or find someone who's willing to pay for your allocation). 2023 FF BB falls under the latter.

Seems like an awful lot of work just to buy cards. It is like stop making things so convoluted.

Still annoyed I missed this one.

[Osfan81]

It wouldn't let me buy this with my address there using a credit card. I had to use PayPal with my address already in there for it to get to me. Very annoying. It looks like they're looking at last year's prices to determine this year's prices. eBay for last year's finest flashbacks is $225, so they went $225. Last year's chrome gilded is $750 or so on eBay, so that's what's being quoted for this year's. Can somebody post on eBay "10" for some hobby products so they post "$10" as the price for this year's? LOL!

[RaceDog]

Considering what prices have become and my latest fiasco with 2023 update, I am done with everything but singles going forward….thanks Topps.

2023 update= 2 hobby boxes and a jumbo box and still not even close to a full base set.
