Haha, you're right, I drank some wine the other day :P $2.99 for the bottle too!

I see what you're saying. People definitely have the right to like or dislike a given product too. Some people might end up disliking a product because they missed out and have become salty but that's not applicable for most.

It seems like many people feel like Topps Chrome Sonic is rough at $80 per box....I would agree.

Would you buy a box at $65? How about $50?

I agree that it'll likely be a rough rip at $80 per (like most wax from an ROI standpoint) but TC Lite would be rougher rip at $80 per box (because, per checklist, it offers less) yet it's consistently selling for $100+ on eBay.

It could be worth securing a case of Sonic at $1k or less (low $60s per box).

I'm curious to know what demand will be like for 2022 TC wax once the buyback program ends. Fortunately with TC/Sonic Lite, you still have a shot of hitting various JRod/Witt/etc whereas TC hobby/jumbos only offers a chance at autos (low likelihood of hitting), excluding silver packs.

It would be like LF all over again

Big price difference but would you rather have these hobby boxes or Bowman's Best? Since these release within a week of each other.

I prefer 2022 Bowman's Best but not at its current price-point. I went with multiple TC Sonic Lite boxes because it offered better value (IMO).

I know no one probably cares with all the 23 S1 FOMO but this stuff is expected to release on 2/24 next Friday.

For that price its definitely worth it. Plus you have a shot at store credit with the Goldy and Judge cards

My guess is 79.99 - 89.99

I asked this before just see what people prefer. I know between this and Bowman's Best is a pretty big price difference, but they release witin a week of each other. What would you prefer? Me personally, I don't care for the Sonic checklist aside from the 7 top RC's. There's an auto chase too but no guarantee. Bowman's Best we don't have a checklist for yet, but in the past it was 100 cards of all the top vets and RC's. And 4 guaranteed autos per box. So with a much smaller checklist and guaranteed autos, you think BB is the way to go?

They both seem to have their pluses and minuses. The deciding factor for me will likely be estimated print run. Or maybe I just get 1 box BB and a couple 2-3 of Sonic. Not sure yet. Hard to tell which product might go the way of Logo/Gilded. I am avoiding series 1 though. I've only been back at this a year now, but, clarity is setting in (and budgetary restraints) and I'm moving more towards bowman and some chrome and definitely sapphire/logo type products at this point.

I prefer Sonic b/c I believe it’s the first ever release. I was able to get a few at $70 pre-sale and will open some/keep some for the sealed stash/future rip. I haven’t bought BB b/c I haven’t liked the designs in years and don’t care for its prospect cards as a collector. Best auto I ever pulled from BB was a ‘17 Gleyber prospect auto which I was happy about at the time. Good luck!

How many of you have preorders cases of this? And at what price? Talking with my lcs now.

[Archimedes]

I feel like the buyback program (assuming you're ripping) helps support these, right? Reduces the effective box price by ~$5, I guess. Am I missing something?

[mfw13]

Couple of nice triple autos:

Bench/Posey/Fisk
Maddux/Pedro/R.Johnson

and for Braves fans....Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz
