I can't speak for the racing boards, but it's annoying to have these products that have nothing to do with baseball being essentially mostly distributed to a club for baseball cards. I don't blame you guys in the club--I'd do the same if I signed up, but as a buyer it stinks that I have to pay a huge mark up if I want the sealed products without having a shot at MSRP.

At least this one was on the UK site, as much of a mess as that was.

Thank you both!! So it’s all done for 2020 first year formula 1 cards. Not to saturate still.

Folks going to walmart/target to scoop up baseball, football, & basketball cards that only want to flip them with no interest in the hobby. That's really the same thing.

Everyone had the option to sign up for the MC @ $300 a pop back in Nov is all I can tell you and there was belly aching & complaining about the cost at the time for new subscribers. The only mention of baseball was the MC stamped flagship set.

USA site always sucks. Even using search bar for “formula 1” nothing comes up ever. Not now, not chrome, etc

I don't really think it's the same thing. It's one thing if stuff goes out on the shelves and you get there first. It's another when it was never available to begin with because the manufacturer only let a few people buy. Again, I don't blame you guys for cashing in, but I'm not a fan of this distribution model.

Chrome released on the U.S. site, Sapphire did not.

Topps just dropped Tier 1 baseball on the US site.

Distribution absolutely a mess, but I guess Topps figures at least make it available to folks already giving them money. Makes sense if they would have created a Soccer, Racing, & Star Wars clubs in addition to GPK. They were doing lotteries for these releases 1 year ago for like a month and that seemed like the fairest way to distribute.

I hate the topps site

Zeldafanatic15 · 05-05-2021, 12:40 PM

MTBRM · 05-05-2021, 12:43 PM

Damn, I didn't bother to leave a tab up after thinking it would be UK only.

Just ripped my box. For those wondering, the edge damage is still there on color.

It said I had to be signed in to add to cart. When I clicked on my account tab it looked as if I was signed in (orders, rewards, sign out appeared). Tried adding to cart again and got the same error.

Anyone else run into that same problem? Or suggestions how to fix? Same thing happened with the first chrome release.

I hope MC club gets first dibs on the 21 F1 Sapphire too.
