Anyone open any of this yet?

jrosales · 12-20-2021, 09:43 PM

Is it finally out?

Been waiting to post the sketch cards I created for the set.

ThoseBackPages · 12-20-2021, 09:45 PM

i have not seen it

Einstein43 · 12-20-2021, 09:46 PM

Available in Walmart today - watched a box open on YouTube

cg5 · 12-20-2021, 09:51 PM

Ya looks like it's been out a couple days now, not a ton yet, but a few singles on Ebay. No checklist anywhere yet though.

cj828282 · 12-20-2021, 10:00 PM

I am seeing a stained glass insert card but do not think it is like the Ginter or Archives stained glass cards but paper mimicking stained glass. Looks fairly nice.

mcwildcats · 12-20-2021, 10:02 PM

Isn't this typically one of the weakest retail releases that sits on shelves? Not sure why this year would be any different with such a weak RC class. Curious to hear if I'm missing something though.

TimBuckTwo · 12-20-2021, 10:11 PM

Will there be original box toppers in the set?

Watched a video as well and apparently the Mega boxes are $80 MSRP now. Yes, you do get the 2 autos (similar to Bowman Platinum) but think I'm definitely going to skip retail of this at that price.

cj828282 · 12-20-2021, 11:36 PM

Found some odds: (monster box). The gallery of heroes insert (stained glass) is 1:337 packs

Gallery megaboxes have been that price for years. $80 is not new.

cj828282 · 12-20-2021, 11:39 PM

I have to say I think the cards look better this year than in the past couple of years. I hate that all of these products come out at the end of the year. Where were these during the spring and summer?

cj828282 · 12-20-2021, 11:41 PM

Can I just say wow!

These may be some popular chase inserts.

gmarutiak · 12-21-2021, 08:05 AM

Are these online or just in store?

Youd think a guy with “sketch cards” in their name would appreciate an artistic themed release.

Has nothing to do with not appreciating the artists, which I do. But I’m not spending money on a product just because it has artwork in it.

The cards look decent, but until I see a full checklist am holding off.....

base set · 12-21-2021, 10:04 PM

I didn’t think it would appear at all this year with so many delays on everything else. Glad to see this thread.

I collect it based on the artists hired. The ones I like, I finish their part of the checklist.

And the ‘frame’ is important to me too. 2019 was understated and classy. Some years the big player name and lotsa gold and design stuff and it can be a bit much.

Last year it was gobbled up as fast as it hit shelves just about, like everything else. This year’s will almost certainly be purchase-able for quite a while.

CicadaMound · 12-21-2021, 10:46 PM

It looks like the base cards and at least the Gallery of Heroes and Next Wave inserts are photographs. The Masters of the Craft and Modern Artists inserts are drawings.

timber63401 · 12-22-2021, 07:29 AM

I've always liked the looks of Gallery but 90 percent of the boxes are going to have 2 $5 autos in them. Hope I'm wrong but anyone who bust much of this at $80 is going to get straight murdered.

This product is not just about the autos. There are some inserts that if you get lucky and hit them would sell for more than the price of the box.

Einstein43 · 12-22-2021, 11:56 AM

Bought one today :
Thinking to myself glutton for punishment
(2) autos : Garret Whitlock ( decent 20/30 dollars ) and ROY Jonathan India

bounty37h · 12-22-2021, 12:09 PM

Saw it in store yesterday, for the first time I left it on the shelf. Liked product initially but last few years been disappointed in the paper quality as well as a lot of the artwork.
