Time to buy Marvel Fleer Retro case?

I think this product has cool down a bit and I'm considering to buy a case right now or wait for case drop <$1500?

If you think the product has cooled down, why are you considering buying a case?

I don't expect prices on this product to drop. If you want a case, buy it now. But at $1500+, I think you are way better off buying singles.

Saw a sealed case on ebay selling at 1650 BIN, its cheaper than 1799 BIN price a week before. Just hope to buy a case under 1500....

Should have posted Saturday... I could have picked up a case at the Philly show for you.

If its 1650 bin on eBay, just find the sellers contact info... They'll probably do 1500 direct.

The cases on ebay have dropped in price because they were listed at too high a price. Cases are available at several websites for around $1600, so why would anyone buy it for $1800 on ebay? So the ebay prices dropping from $1800 to $1650 probably doesn't mean that the product is cooling down. I also wouldn't expect it to drop below $1500 anytime soon. Although like Spider-Fan says, at $1500+ a case, buying singles would probably be the better buy.

cases will never be under $1500 retail again.

if you could be guaranteed a green PMG and a Jamba in your case, it's probably a wash on singles vs. the case.

I'm not dying to get it. But I don't believe it has cool down. Maybe in some months or a year when dealers find themselves with a lot of cases in their storage rooms. Good luck.

It looks like Upper Deck found its answer to the Sketch card fever (re-introduce by Rittenhouse). Ironically more copy-paste artwork, made a scarcity of some cards, and overprice a box. It looks like is working better. So buyers go crazy to spend money in the top of the chain (directly with the company or the authorized dealers).
