What's crazy is that might not be a loss. Push maybe. I feel like this is a good chance for Blowout to get rid of some wax that isn't moving but they also don't want to reduce the price too much.

The one I go to when this is asked is UFC Prizm. I'm collecting Miocic cards and barely any have been listed in terms of the parallels. To me, that is a sign that people are not opening or buying sealed boxes due to price. I then feel fairly confident that I can apply that logic to a lot of the inflated wax prices that happened over the past year. As of late, things seem to be coming down in price, but I'd say anything that came out in 2020 and early 2021 has probably seen little movement with people hesitant to bring prices down.

Just my two cents.

Probably all National guests that they had thousands of items signed and can't get rid of them.

Also in for one, hoping for the best but prepared for the worst which honestly, probably won't be that bad unless it's a bad selection of wax that I then open and get terrible cards.

Not at the Rivers casino down the street from the convention center. Continuous 6 deck shuffle and the dreaded 6:5 Black Jack!

Their game is nearly unplayable.

I can live with the shuffle, but at a $25 table, if you are paying me 3:2, I'd just assume buy a Megamix

When do they ship the mega mix boxes? I worried about getting a time sensitive item like the onyx vip tickets and not be able to sell it on time

I believe it’s usually the week before the National but it’s not sold out yet so who knows.

I imagine they don't get the tickets until the show so they can't go out to people who order online. That would make the most sense to me and I think it's also incredibly fair as well.

Cashed some COMC money into Blowout store credit and bought one.

I've spent $500 on worse.

Can't wait to see what everyone pulls!

Good luck! Random question ... how long did that take you to get COMC credit? It's been almost 2 weeks for me and I haven't seen the credit yet. My normal cash outs always took 4 days.

Thanks.

I may buy one at the show if they are still available. We’ll see.

Have you checked junk mail? When I first started converting comc credit to blowout the email was going to junk mail. It usually only takes about 4 days to receive the credit. You should definitely have it by now.

Thought the same thing last time. Box showed up with a 2018 opulence basketball box, plus the 2x Bo T shirt For 200 i was pleased.

Thanks. I checked my spam, and nothing. I sent COMC support an email.
