You have to remember that $675 on BO is about the same as $600 on eBay, because you have to pay sales tax in most states on eBay now, plus you can use a $25 off coupon on BO.

Anyone else having a similar issue?

I'm not saying it's a bad price.

I'm just curious if people will continue to rip at that level, or will this move down a bit.

Hope to see a superfractor surface soon.
I believe the non-auto version of super are supposed to fall approx 1 in every 40 boxes.

Honestly, my biggest concern at anything above MSRP right now is how inconsistent boxes are from box to box.... Between Phil Hughes missing all inserts and parallels in 9 straight boxes to some people hitting 3 gems, some hitting none, some hitting 7 parallels, some hitting less than 4, etc...

Topps pack outs have been straight garbage since the pandemic started. Series 2, Ginter, Stadium Club, all have had major packout issues. This isn't surprising.

There aren't endless numbers of Baller fans out there who don't care what they're actually buying.

Unless more boxes prove the inconsistent packout is a fluke, it's possible prices will settle around 2x msrp like Bowman 1st. $650 is really generous for something that not only has no guaranteed auto but possibly no hits at all.

[pjray55]

I wonder if the pack out problems are behind the shipping delays?

[CoEnt85]

Not sure if I want to flip now, would hate to sell a box with no hits and have the buyer do a return.

Yes. I'm also in Texas (Austin) so maybe they're shipping by state, alphabetically?

I'm totally kidding but I don't understand why these haven't shipped.

Pretty sure Phil's tweet is satire given how often he jokes around about getting "loaded" boxes.

Eh - seems like a lengthy twitter back and forth for it to be satire. If it were a 1 and done tweet - with a bit more humor, sure. But I'd be willing to bet it happened. Imagine a video will go up soon with an unboxing of the 9th or 10th one - see what he says.

[Zauron]

Man this makes no sense how they are this bad at shipping. Everything should be shipped by now.

[pokerdealer86]

So has anyone received a box and topps still has processing on there topps account or no ?

My MC order hasn’t shipped. I don’t know whether to be happy or not I’m not alone.

I just got my raffle box in today but my MC order is still processing

[PumpnDumpling]

So, there was a live round of ammunition in the fedex box containing my ben baller raffle box......Pic coming.....

Next person that has the obvious 'bright' idea that topps can easily sell all releases direct to customers and cutout distributors, please refer them to this thread. Thanks.

I mean... Is that for real? Maybe I won't open my box... Whenever it decides to show up.

Started before the pandemic. Series 1 was bad as well. At least it was for the retail pack outs. It's been getting close to Panini level of horribleness.
