Distributers Dumping Draft?

phil · 12-07-2011, 02:15 PM

Widely available for $600 today (including blowout). No matter how good the checklist 5000+ cases is just too much for this market.

ETSC · 12-07-2011, 02:21 PM

I just saw BO "tweeted" a special on boxes...$50. I was kind of surprised because I thought the checklist was quite strong. I had no idea so many cases were produced though.

aggie4ever · 12-07-2011, 02:23 PM

Well, last year's also dipped down to $600 in December, although I expected to see $600 cases the week of Christmas and not a couple of weeks before. But I was hoping prices would drop and that's why I've been waiting to buy a couple of cases, finally pulled the trigger today. As popular as draft is, I don't see how it can go lower than $50/box. But I guess if it dips down even lower, I might have to pick up another case or two.

ETSC · 12-07-2011, 02:26 PM

With all the high ceiling names in this draft, wouldn't it be a good thing for prospectors to jump all over this?

Another place had them for $599, I'm thinking BO is just price matching.

not as exclusive as it used to be with its prospects. you have leaf out there with a bunch of the top guys autos, usa autos of some of the top players, and elite extra. Also the big 2 or 3 of this draft are not even in the set with cole, rendon, and hultzen.

at 600 its a great deal right now

NastyPatches · 12-07-2011, 02:34 PM

dang wish I had the cash right now. Better win at the Casino on Friday

bziddy · 12-07-2011, 02:38 PM

wow...i think my wife might hit me if i show up at home with a few more cases

Bjsportscards77 · 12-07-2011, 02:39 PM

im really hoping blowout send me my credit for my game used and autos i sent it... They've had them since the 1st

papiis01 · 12-07-2011, 02:53 PM

I bought 4 more boxes

dthimesch · 12-07-2011, 02:54 PM

WOW, thats cheap. may have to pick some up, hmmmm

They've had mine since the 27th

Bjsportscards77 · 12-07-2011, 02:58 PM

hey fitch
I spoke to someone there the other day.... believe his name was danny... He told me due to the black friday sale they are way behind on the game used/auto program... He said the 15 day window is more than likely gonna be what happens, but "maybe" sooner

ETSC · 12-07-2011, 03:01 PM

So obviously numbered refractors are limited, but does this mean base autos will likely struggle to hold value?

Well I've already seen Starling auto redemptions that have been had in the $25 range. so yeah.

Jaypers · 12-07-2011, 03:36 PM

If I had the funds to do it I'd be all over this special. The auto crop is absolutely stacked, arguably better than 2005.

I strongly suggest you buy now.

SethMurphy · 12-07-2011, 03:58 PM

this is the point where you buy the cases and stuff them in a closet, visit them again in 2014

sdhofcards · 12-07-2011, 04:03 PM

This seemed like a good price to me and I ordered another 2 cases.

This is all the convincing that I need!

messier2 · 12-07-2011, 04:08 PM

For all those that are saying to order a case or two. Are you ordering to rip or to keep and re-sale later?

fisk-factor75 · 12-07-2011, 04:12 PM

At that price I had to order one....and I bought it to RIP!! I don't think I could have a case of BDPP in the house and resist the temptation to rip it.

Rip and resell in high demand market.

fitch123 · 12-07-2011, 04:15 PM

If anyone is interested in doing a 3-4 man 2 case break (snake hit-draft) PM me. I'll be looking to unload my $700 in GU/auto gift cert credit when it (hopefully) credits by the weekend.

DadofTwins · 12-07-2011, 04:16 PM

You can only hold these cases until the Redemption deadline. Then the Bubba Starlings(Jose Fernandez) will become worthless cause Topps refuses to fill expired redemptions.
