I have regretted selling my 3 boxes since the beginning. I could buy a set for less than the box price but what fun is that. I don't really think these will fall much more in the offseason so it is time to bite the bullet. For those who opened how was collation? Thinking of getting 5 boxes if I can get the right price

I was just a few cards short of a set with 3 boxes.

You could buy a set cheaper than a box, but I’d bet good money every major card will be off centered or have a small scratch.

Your bound to be missing a few cards over 3 boxes. You can pick them up easily thru this site. You're hoping for a Luis Robert to gain some money back. They've dropped in price with the rest of them but still some solid value. I'm a buyer at $400 off ebay and been finding them on FB and such. There is that 11 box lot that I may consider down the line but we will see how the RC class does next year first. I believe that breaks down to about $465 each before taxes.

If you're looking to finish a set, they've been slowly trickling in to COMC. I have a near set that I sent in but it hasn't processed yet. The nice thing is you can look at individual cards for centering/condition before you buy.

Just be aware that shipping is a mess with them right now but there is no cost for you to hold the cards in inventory and ship later.

You aren't "speechless" when you can brag about it on the forum
Congrats on two huge hits!!

The odds of hitting those two reds in 5 boxes is extremely tough.
And that's why people like me get the dud boxes on the other end

Jeezus, where in the world did you get the boxes from? That's the first red Robert I've seen in a calculated over 3000 boxes, the second Yordan in the same.

Oh yeah, congrats!

I don't know which is more impressive, you contemplating buying 5 boxes and actually securing them within 6 hours OR your massive hits lol

I am really lucky as my distributor is really close to my house....almost too close. It can easily go either way. I bought them cause I wanted to put a set together in a binder. I sold my 3 boxes from the montgomery club offering at around $250 each right before they shot up. I fulfilled thos orders so maybe that brough some good karma to me. Absolutely insane. I cannot find any comps on the red Robert.

That's absolutely awesome (to have a distributor so close to you).

And congratulations on the massive hits! It's always risky to rip boxes but you absolutely killed it!!

Man that black border with his uniform just looks great. Easily the best looking Robert refractor in this product. Congrats on the 10!

This isn’t bias because I have one, but the Luis Robert Refractor has to be one of his most awesome looking cards out there.....

As a Sox fan, it sucks that I’ll never Have the team set for this set. Because the Robert is too rich for my blood
