Well sometimes BO will get a lot of product such as Sapphire/Flashbacks and have it up soon after it releases on Topps.com. Just surprised BO does not have any up on their site by now.

There are plenty of pumpers out there, and he's not one. I appreciate his posts, as he actually opens cards still. Everyone can do as they please, but I appreciate someone who still actually opens cards.

He looks for good value, and shares his thoughts. 100% not a pumper.
“I just saw a box sell for $128.50”

“I can see these pushing $150/$200 soon too”

By the way, did he mention he has 164 boxes as well?

Those who are defending him have also deeply invested in this product.

I’m really happy you guys got in at a great price, it’s rare for the little guys nowadays.

No need to pump a great value product- it can pump itself.

But don’t play the FOMO card when boxes are still available at $95 in quantities of ten plus at the time of the pump.

He was clearly guilty of misleading pumping - no denying that.

Yeah. It’s turned into a real Tic-tac swinging contest.

Yeah, they could have bought just like we all did. Maybe they are still waiting on FedEx too... LOL

Good for you, Pete. Keep that cape handy for the next release.

And what about all the potential buyers who didn’t buy this product at release due to your fear mongering and missed out on a fun rip or a nice potential come up?

(Not sure if you specifically trashed it at release and not going to go back and search). There definitely were some in here who did though and they deserve to have their capes revoked

To be clear, nobody here has said that Topps is a good guy. But you can either shout at the wall or learn to adapt and find ways to enjoy a hobby that is evolving, and to be clear, it is evolving whether you like that or not.
Maybe not the complaints or suggestions for real improvements but heck yes Topps is listening to all the online chatter just like any other company in this day and age.

With guys falling all over themselves to hoard logofractor and declaring it product of the year before a week had passed, we're sure to get plenty more special editions because all Topps needs is "new" "chrome" and "exclusive" but with lightweight retail format and pricing.

Even tho I liked the 2022 Logofractor and it looked like a winner with all the color and autos per box I didn't buy it.

Why?

Because after the way 2022 TC was handled I don't want to touch the product or any of the variations.

What is coming... Sapphire? Cosmic? Sonic? Ben Baller?

It's all printed to death and if I am being honest with myself stale.

So I'll pass. 30% flip or whatever it is be damned. I don't want to support it.

Oh, for sure not - it was a great buy for msrp and I’m happy people were able to get in without getting price gauged.

Even eastbriak apologized to me for mistakenly accusing me of being one of the early haters.

I’m all for the product. I’m against the need to pump it and those flippers who are trying to take advantage of others in the secondary market.

Thanks! couldnt believe I saw a redemption and Orange plus Wander. Didnt even know these existed.

I'd believe it. Seems pretty obvious to me that they did a real bang up job of packing out those base packs based on the fact that I had anywhere from 3-8 cards in the packs I ripped today. Some hits ending up in there is hardly shocking.

My second 10 came in today and were not as strong as the 1st 10. Buxton green auto /99, Ohtani Pink, Soto pink, Miggy pink, Betts blue, deGrom blue, Nootbaar FS blue, Goldschmidt plaque. 9 cards remaining for the base Logofractor set. Selling the better color off to complete base set and try to find SP’s in the off-season. 4 autos total in 20 boxes! Actually 5 counting the Cruz orange FS redemption mistakenly included in a base pack.
