Read the earlier posts in this thread. This product was on allocation from back in September/October. Most Disty's had pre-orders up 10x from last year and topps is refusing to increase production to match that increased demand....hence preorder case prices are in the 900-1000 range. So anyone buying from disty will have their order slashed to 2016 levels. It is likely topps is increasing production maybe 10% (just a guess), but they could have increased it 100% and still sold out based on disty orders. That would have been bad come April after the initial run...as product would be massively overproduced.
And there is no way (my opinion only) that ohtani is in heritage until the high numbers. Gotta save something to make high numbers attractive.
