Sweet!! It just restocked!! I tried to add 50 boxes to the cart but it only added 19 (probably all that was available from this restock).

Fortunately, I was able to successfully place the order!

Thanks again for sharing

Darn, was out grocery shopping. Looks like I'm late to the game on this one. Nice deal

VSMbaby9394 · 09-01-2020, 05:36 PM

Just bought a box so they must've restocked again.

CKB · 09-01-2020, 05:38 PM

62 in stock at Fanatics for people looking for the hobby boxes right now..

Rs1826 · 09-01-2020, 05:38 PM

Sweet, just got 4 boxes!

You're right. Just purchased another 17 boxes. Added 31, then hesitated, and updated to 20. When I submitted the order, it dropped it down to 17 due to availability.

I think I'm done with 2020 TC Baseball now. Then again, hard to pass up such deals.

Carolinabrights · 09-01-2020, 05:43 PM

I was able to grab 3....
Thanks for the heads up.

Be well Brian ��

Baller!

elny43 · 09-01-2020, 05:45 PM

Darn missed it a second time. They moved this to Out of Stock..doubt it restocks again.

Hoping to be able to bust some hobby wax (and add a couple of basketball + Tatis cards to the PC) for "free" when all said and done.

I'll bump the thread if I notice it restock again.

maguirem · 09-01-2020, 05:51 PM

I can't believe I have missed this twice tonight.....

Sbrown3583 · 09-01-2020, 05:58 PM

Scored 5 boxes! Pumped!

psd2k10 · 09-01-2020, 06:09 PM

the price just goes to show what the big 3 are really doing to our hobby.

elny43 · 09-02-2020, 08:18 AM

FWIW, they moved the price up to $199.99 (congrats to those who got that deal yesterday!) and while it's still OOS, it also shows "Almost Gone". It'll probably restock at some point, which is still over 10% below the Big 3.

citizen genet · 09-02-2020, 11:11 AM

I've about given up on finding any retail; anyone have any insight on what looks better this year between the hobby or jumbo boxes?

Carolinabrights · 09-02-2020, 11:18 AM

I just received a refund from Fanatics for the 3 boxes I purchased last night. I guess they want to sell them for $199.99 today.

I went to check the shipping status & see there is nothing in my order history ... hope they're not trying to pull a fast one. I checked my cc statement & the charge still says pending.

I made two orders yesterday.

I received tracking details for my first one. There’s a discrepancy with the second one but most likely it’s been refunded (status shows as “Refunded” on one page and “Pending” on another).

Maybe the 1st batch is okay but they cancelled they 2nd batch after the restock? I got my order in with the 1st batch. I got an email about 2 hours ago saying that my items have shipped along with the order #. When I click the link & log in, nothing displays for order history. Oh well, guess I shouldn't worry too much. I assume the shipped part, the fan cash earned still being there, & no cc refund (yet) are good signs.

There might've been more than 2 restocks yesterday. The last purchased on the page shows 16 hours ago. When I made my 2nd order, it was 18 hours ago.

But yeah, seems like the 1st batch orders are okay. Pretty shady of them to return 2nd batch orders AND raise the price by $70 per. Hopefully others who made 2nd batch orders get them.

Baseball is so tough this year. No surprise but the wax inflation in the hobby across the board is not necessarily reflected in single prices for baseball. Sure the hot 1 or 2 RC's fetch some good prices but unlike basketball, HOF level vets just do not have much value. Which is (for once) great for collectors but makes an already risky gamble on wax even more risky. So it's ride or die with Roberts in the short term. The fact Topps/Bowman made Aquino a key part of their 2020 'portfolio' is not helping matters. Even they got caught up in his big month last August.

Never know though. Short term it is tough, long term we will see.

beanman25 · 09-02-2020, 12:39 PM

My 2 charges arent anywhere to be seen in my transaction history, but both orders are just processing. I got both in the first wave too
