I love the sarcastic hyperbolic approach to your reply. The concept of people actually enjoying something being reasonably priced in an otherwise outrageously priced hobby is wickedly foreign to some people. And that’s fine. I don’t get the weird takes from some people on this forum. Like the only opinions that matter are those that have posted 3k+ times in an era where Internet forums are essentially an archaic form of communication. Tribalism takes its finest form and the old school forum trolls need to clack their keyboards violently with the most ‘sly’ and over the top comments to find their self worth in reality. Like who gives a damn if some does or doesn’t like something? It’s so fuggin strange to me someone can make a short comment about something and it’s like a battle call to the gatekeepers of sports cards. Enjoy your stuff. Whatever you enjoy. I bet it’s way cooler than anything I own or collect.

Don't forget expert level GIF usage.

Assuming autos are still all sticker correct?

If those were the best pulls I think cases are still in trouble, are the case hits even in here? Im a Sapphire novice. I get the popularity but if no on-card and no case hits I don't feel FOMO[/QUOTE]

Yep, all autos were sticker. Best non auto color was a green Djokovic /125, so that's $75-100 or so. I missed the first 2 boxes of case 1 but I believe there was a Padparadscha of a bum as well. I think there were 2 base reds total, and the lowest numbered auto was a purple to 10.

The checklist is just too bloated.

Not bad, I'd say an above average case esp with the Pad. This case strengthens my hunch that each case is packed out with a "hit" auto.

Good idea going overnight to try and get some things listed while the US Open is still happening.

Same top right back corner on all the better base has little extra whiting gonna be tough to grade any

I ripped my overnight case as well... Djokovic /10 auto, Rybakina and Seles /25 autos were highlights. 5 out of 10 autos were /25 or less. Definitely happy with that!

Congrats! Gotta love when one card more than pays for the case.

That’s only for certain products, no?

Surprised they’re 24 hour hammering this product. Worst was when they did this with Bedard.

Looks like mine also the same.

Box and case pricepoint dropping already to 139 and 1600, didn't even survive the US Open.

Might be $100/box soon. The big 3 gradually lowering prices which means it’s sitting ��
