[QUOTE=BayAreaChris;18896297]Looks like the Topps orders shipped from the Fanatics warehouse in Ohio. Fanatics orders came from Florida.

Not sure why it took an extra week for the Topps orders to ship.[/QUOTE]

I mean, is it possible that these shipped to Florida first after printing, then they had to ship to Ohio for the Topps orders? Doesn't make much sense logistically, but it's Topps, so...

In the process of opening my 4 boxes from Fanatics..first couple boxes pretty uneventful and overall 1 Caitlin base, 1 Caitlin Invicta, and 2 Caitlin Bowman 09. 2nd auto of the 3rd box though was pretty good. Probably best card besides this auto is a Brandon Miller Purple Numbered Refractor

What’s odd to me is why if Fanatics is shipping them, they don’t all come out of the same location?

Add on why Topps then takes a week longer to ship, I’m confused!

Finished my break, the Black Orange was the best. Here are the highlights

No Brandon Miller base, 1 Caitlin Clark Base, 3 total Caitlin Clark Inserts (1 Invcita, 2 Bowman 09)

Pulled Cam Whitmore #d auto from Bowman Inception.

Ripped 18 hobbys and 40 blasters... 2 wemby bases and Miller base auto was probably my "best" auto. Nothing lower than /25

has anyone seen a wemby pulled from a blaster yet?

They're like those lil' fellas of Irish lore; They're rumored to exist, but no one has proof that they actually, do!!

[QUOTE=BayAreaChris;18897223]Both Wemby out of hobby?[/QUOTE]

Yep. Nothing good out of blasters. 17 numbered (non autos) and 5 autos (4 numbered)

That’s a pretty nice combo.

On the Wemby autos, the picture Topps shared of the inscribed green auto is definitely on card. Is there confirmation that all of his autos are on card?

No live autos yet.

Yeah in all the sell sheet info an email ads it says all on card.

10 days in and the Wemby base is still selling in the $400-450 range. I still haven't seen claim or video of any coming out of blaster boxes. I'm telling ya, I really think this one might hold its value for a while especially if it's tough to get a 10 with them being so shiny.

The same reason Amazon orders don't all come out of the same location. The bigger Fanatics grows, the more warehouses they will add. They'll eliminate cross country shipments and get to a point where anything you order comes from a regional facility. And if the regional facility runs out of inventory, the next closest one will be tabbed to process the order. This is only the beginning but could be a good thing for shipments if processing and delivery times can be greatly improved.

Hopefully they get there but this is not the case right now. All Fanatics BCU orders came from Florida almost immediately and Topps BCU orders are coming out of Ohio.

I think all Topps orders in general are coming out of Ohio now where Fanatics also has a warehouse. It’s just odd that it takes so long to ship when it’s Topps.

Apparel is probably different as most my stuff comes from Nevada.

Amazing hits sir! Pour one out to the sorry sucker who purchases your other 6 boxes lol.

I’m kidding, but I’d assume the other 6 are pretty weak.

Very nice hits!

Not so fast, my friend

General ebay question. I had a CC Kahuna for auction. Got some bum with a burner acct come in and win it (new to ebay, no feedback, name is 'superrefracorchaser') not responding to any communication. Clearly they have ill intent and are trying to bind me up to unload their own or pump the price or something. Is there anything i can do to get this relisted immediately or what would you do?

Sadly eBay won't let you cancel until 5 Days has past.

I suppose you could make a brand new listing if you are fully convinced they won't pay.
