Bought 6 boxes early on from eBay, then continuously kicked myself as I watched the price drop by $70/box over the next couple hours. Busted the first 3 and totally lucked out!

Austin Martin green auto /50
Asa Lacy base auto
Brayan Buelvas base auto

Brandon Marsh purple
Jared Kelley orange
Xavier Edwards orange

Base Blaze, Base Austin Martin

Is it worth sending the Martin auto to PSA at $300/pop? I will probably sell it; not sure if I’ll hold it for awhile first just for the sweat.

I’ve also noticed major centering issues in this set, at least for the base cards. I am new back to collecting. Does QC seem worse here than other ultra modern sets?

Definitely worth the $300 for grading, especially since the base autos are selling for $1k. Awesome hit!!!

Received a shipping notification from Topps coming from Pittston, PA. Could this be the next Montgomery set? Scheduled to arrive Wednesday although Elsa down here will probably delay that to Thursday.

I have no other orders or redemptions outstanding with Topps.

Ordered 3 Sapphire boxes and Topps shipped 2. #notwinning

Now the struggle of dealing with CS on the phone. I already messaged them, but not putting much faith in their reply there.

Has anyone had success in getting quick resolution from Topps CS for a misshipment?

My MC club sapphire boxes got scanned into Osseo, MN last Thursday and haven’t moved since. Have people had issues there in the past? From what I’ve been reading, it sounds like many packages go missing from Osseo.

Going to be a surprise from Topps. I cross referenced PayPal transactions and everything and there is nothing pending. Should be an interesting opening.

Is it our MLB Network Top 100 orders with a Retail 24 pack of 2021 Series 2 as compensation for waiting 6+ months?

Mine went through there as well. Got there on the first and sat until yesterday. My Fedex app does not have an update as to where they are but I pulled the tracking up through the Topps site and it shows them as being in my state now.

Mine left PA last Weds and no scans since. I'm in CA so I'm going to give them another day before calling FedEx on a scan check.
