That would sell out in minutes if it was announced beforehand.

I'm sure they won't do it but that's immediately where my mind goes with that '96 design.

It would be nice if Topps would flash us a checklist and odds tomorrow but that would be wishful thinking.

JoinerCP · 10-16-2023, 08:53 PM

How do we get access to these boxes? I'm not seeing them.

They aren't available to purchase yet. 582 Montgomery Club members will get the chance to pre-order starting tomorrow with the public sale likely being next day

Thanks! I'd like to try this out. I'm loving what I've seen the last few pages of this thread.

Are you guys still finding the 2020 release sub $300? Those are some beautiful cards.

davidantx · 10-16-2023, 09:44 PM

these have fun their course.

jduds · 10-17-2023, 07:55 AM

The bronze, silver, and gold elements give them some ways to play with the set to make it more fun. Hopefully, they take advantage of the opportunity. I really like the 96-99 designs so am looking forward to this and the next few years.

JoinerCP · 10-17-2023, 09:12 AM

So....582 members, what price are we looking at for the '23?

I asked over in the Montgomery Club thread: has anyone seen any Intel (Tweets or IG) of people signing autos for this '23 version? If it's just parallels, the price might be nice...

If there are no autos, I would hope $150 at the most. If it really is just one refractor and two gold-bordered cards per box, then $99 seems reasonable. Heck, $75 seems reasonable with that, but that's not happening.

$224.99

UPDATED: Public sale will be 4 boxes per person and same price as presale.

$225 is insane.

theredmenace · 10-17-2023, 05:06 PM

Should be $150, but I do like the low hit rate. If the 2023 total card supply was halved I'd gladly pay $225. Breakers aren't going to buy this, will be interested to see how the secondary wax market looks.

There's 2022 boxes up on eBay that would sell at a loss from initial msrp. I don't think the flippers are going to mess with 2023.

Greed is such a strong thing. Between topps/fanatics and the distributers

They just don’t understand collectors are leaving the hobby because of the prices and that leaves gamblers.

It’s not a sound business plan.

jduds · 10-17-2023, 06:01 PM

I'm in for my box, but think this will be the last hurrah for Flashbacks for me unless they cut prices next year. I'm very excited about the 1996 set though. I am worried about this not being opened heavily if folks balk at the price. I'm going to want a good number of singles and hope they show up on eBay. With me taking this off the list, I'm left with only six products I plan to buy boxes of next year: 206, Brooklyn, Mini, 3D, Stadium Club, and Holiday. There is still time for them to wreck Brooklyn for me though so it could end up being four. On the bright side, they are making a lot of products I like the cards in. As long as other folks keep ripping them, I'm good.

Will there be multiple copies of the 1/1 superfractors in this product?

I’m asking because I would like to increase my chances of pulling one, so I could be one of the three lucky collectors who own a copy of the 1/1 of my favorite player.

Surprisingly, yes. But you had to move it early too.

Not to mention, Topps gave out free boxes to many people (cancelled orders but still sent boxes).

225? Michael Gomer Pyle Rubin needs some new stylish sweatpants.

I'll watch your ebay store. Hope you list anything you don't want to keep, I'll be picking up something from this release but just can't touch a box at that price.
