Or maybe thanks Fanatics if they are squeezing them on their backdoor rebuy price.

Very true. But I've thanked them enough in many threads recently . BO deserved some thanks this time for going along.

Consumers? Yes

Blowout, DA, Steel City, etc? Doubtful

Box prices going the other way on ebay now that it's live.

Thanks. I just got mine delivered even though I never received any shipping notification from Topps. Hope yours is the same!

[Bob Ross]

Opened 1 jumbo. Brutal. I'm done. Good luck everyone!

Hobby boxes seem to be moving pretty fast at 180-190 on the bay?
I think these look like a horrible value, but bought 2 on Topps dot com today to flip

Shooters shoot!

1 in over a million pack hit from blasters and it’s literally the iconic cover card of Topps!

Submitted a sell order for 3 jumbo boxes + 4 hobby boxes for $1575.

Now I'm into 9 fanatics boxes + 1 jumbo box + 2 hobby boxes for ~$520 (+cost of shipping above to buyer, probably another ~$30).

I'll probably move the 2 hobby boxes (~$300), rip 1 fanatics box and decide what to do with the remaining (1 jumbo box + 8 fanatics boxes).

The end goal will be the same: To rip and/or hold boxes for free (and what will be free will either be 1 jumbo box + 1 fanatics box or 9 fanatics box)

If you're willing to put in the work, you can continue to rip product for cheap/free. Don't be discouraged by current prices.

Yeah Hobby holding up a bit better than Jumbo. At one point there was maybe 1 Jumbo <$400 now many $350-380

I cashed out Hobby and Jumbos to the same place.

This will be an interesting one to watch. One of the top rookie cards in the product. Any guesses where it ends?

Quick question to people thinking about holding: why? What's the upside on Flagship being 300+ in the long term when there's so much out there?

[jcardstore]

My wife asked if I wanted a mega box for $50 + shipping. Said no.

This stuff is going to be worthless in a few months

Yep. The Chrome effect.

I am optimistic we see a Triple Threads product with nice game used stuff down the line. If they make that happen they can have all the monies.

Only thing that intrigues me is those autos, especially photoshoot and duals, may hold some long term appeal

Just opened a jumbo box. It had 2 Knueppels!

[seanob22]

Sorry if this was touched upon in the thread but I just watched Stryker Breaks video breaking down the odds on this product. The Gold Borders numbered to 2025 fall 1 in every 2.5 Hobby boxes. Those odds should show you how much of this stuff was printed. You got 4 Golds numbered to 2007 in 2007 Topps Hobby!

Too bad you didn't get the Total Recall box with 3 Knueppels!

Same. Absolute wet fart of a box.

I do love all the vet cards mixed in, but not at this price point.

[cms11]

This should have been called Topps Finesse the way it's finessing money out of y'all.

[jfan2024]

For future drops just so I understand the process:
1. Topps and Fanatics now each do separate random lottery presale/drops (whatever they want to call it) before release date?
2. On top of that, release day they then each do another batch of drops?
3. Are these all lottery entry system like Fanatics seems to do or first come first serve bot warfare at a pre-specified time?
4. Lastly, is the money you spend across both all the same FanCash and Fanatics One rewards account so you can use Fancash credits for example across either platform?

[Bob Ross]

The saddest part of this is, this will be the easiest NBA release we ever get from Fanatics.

Looking forward to it!

It’s fun to watch the singles prices crashing down.
