2022 Topps Chrome Update - Page 31

cj828282 · 12-21-2022, 11:03 AM

All three SKUs of the product have landed on Topps. Ditto from above.

Can find hobby cheaper on the secondary market. Really thought these would be $100 from Topps.

$120 a box direct on Topps.com. In line with Mega prices.

$114/box if you buy a case.

Makes me not like the $50 premium BO had on the pre-order. They cleaned house.

Bowman Draft is probably the better buy. $120 still too much for this with the lack of color in these hobbies. Purple aside.

Have you seen Bowman Draft breaks? Just because Draft is slightly better than this turd doesn’t make it good buy. No wax is anywhere near a good buy right now.

20 hangers with 10% might be the best buy

I have! Lots of chrome, lots of refractors, inserts, color and autos! This has none to a rare 1 in maybe 6 hobby boxes I’ve seen opened. So yeah, draft is better.

Locked in a case of $91 a box. Pricing for this stuff is everywhere.

I guess to each there own, I understand the fun of opening wax. I just couldn’t stomach paying over $400 for a box of cards when 9/10 you’ll get back less than 25% of what you paid. Just not how I want to spend my disposable income.

I can see both your points.

I have a ton of Topps buyback credit right now but the prices on blowout are astronomical on this. Hopefully they will adjust the price

They have just been waiting out the storm recently. Let Topps sit out and hold the big 3 market where it is.

Have been afraid Chrome Update would be so bad it would hurt the potential of regular Update Hobby which I'm invested in. We will see.

bcubs · 12-21-2022, 11:41 AM

Looks like they posted the hobby boxes at the same price hobby shops are paying through the distributors.

There is no way. Hobby shops are moving these around online at sub $100

Not sure how reliable it is but Dealernet has Factory of TCU Hobby at $102 and change. I'd assume the shops moving them at sub $100 got them near factory and expect them to go below $100 before all is said and done.

Unbelievable, hopefully they’re adjusting pricing on the back end and list it around $130

One of our distributors allocation price was $119. Need to confirm what we our other distributor charged. Perhaps direct was far cheaper, unfortunately we don't have that luxury. Virtually everyone will take a big loss on this product.
