Default Panini Is Getting High On Their Own Supply!!!!

LOL.
Panini is selling Megas and Blasters of 2019/20 Optic for $75 and $50 directly on their website.
Great company they got there.

Cut out the flippers and hoarders and buy directly from them. Might as well

Smart business move on Panini’s part.

But...but.....folks love to chime in that Panini isn't overcharging. "It's the distributors".

Absolutely disgusting....

How can they sell blasters for $50 when the SRP is $19.99?

Isn't this some type of monopoly?

I mean the Target Megas are over $100 everywhere and they are selling them for $75, that is what $20 more than you can buy them at Target if you get through.

I'd envision reporting them to the BBB for price gouging would be a step...

But they already have an F rating, so...

What does SRP stand for: "Suggested" Retail Price.

SRP is the shortened, non-standard, application of the abbreviation MSRP... which is the true term... rhetorical, I know, but you do know what the "M" stands for?!?!

Maybe Panini just fired up the presses and decided to crank out another 5,000,000 cards into the market.

Hope so.

This is the dumbest thing I've seen in all my years of collecting. I don't blame Panini one bit though. Is it bulls##t?? Yes. Is it their fault that all of a sudden everyone wants to pay insane $$ for completely overproduced products with some of the worst quality control we've EVER seen in the hobby?? Nope. This class will go down as one of the most ridiculous periods in card collecting history. Hell, even the grading companies have completely thrown any sense of honesty out the window and will basically grade all Zion's and JA's 9.5 or higher.

I think that’s the exact point of an exclusive contract.

Heck yeah, buddy. Cut out the flippers and middleman and pay inflated prices directly at Panini.

Yup, I bought 3. Cheaper than ebay and Blowout doesn't have the Target version. My only two retail outlets never have sports cards, just magic or pokemon stuff so this was a decent after market buy for me.

Here is the website to report price gouging in Texas:

Here is Panini's corporate address to use in the complaint, as it asks for it:

Panini America
5325 FAA Blvd, Ste 100
Irving, Texas 75061

(817) 662-5300

Also, here is the BBB's website for Texas: https://www.bbb.org/local-bbb/bbb-se...heart-of-texas

Economy getting crushed, panini pricing will be coming wayyy down here soon. People won’t be able to justify paying these prices as their savings and retirement crash...
