2022 Topps Chrome Baseball Pre Sale.. thoughts?

brios8 · 12-23-2021, 09:22 PM

Hi

I know 2022 Topps Chrome Baseball wont be out until July..

Currently Wander Franco Rookie cards will be in this product and we could possibly see BOBBY WITT JR / JULIO RODRIGUEZ / RILEY GREENE / ADLEY RUTSCHMAN and a few others if they get called up soon.
at $250 / hobby box doesnt it sound to good to be true?

Francos Base Rookie will probably sell for $50-$75 while Witt-Jrod could be in the $25-50 range.

By this time PSA should have a $35-50 grading level

Any thoughts on the potential of this product as well as the current price?

I think it could be one of the hottest products if not the hottest of these past years.

Who knows? I did preorder a jumbo case though. Hoping for it to be a good play though.

i think it will be fantastic!

If there is no season, it might not be that great a price to lock in to.

Just like Wander, Topps will also likely play the same game and delay hyped rookies till next year as well.

Too many variables to take a risk at that price right now.

Economy could tank.

Just remember, chrome is supposed to be a $90-$100 box.

That could be true, I just believe 95% chance there will be a season and even if the economy tanks I see sportscards will be strong.. To many its a great escape, others a business and others gambling.. they arent a necessity, but def something people have a hard time staying away from, every year there are more people involved.

$90-$100 Topps Chrome boxes are forever gone. thats like saying Wander Base rookies will be $3-$5 max, in my opinion .0001% chance

I believe the lowest these can get to would be $225 and if Witt/Jrod get called up it can be max $750/box by release

My prediction is at least $350

Haha, exactly, 2015 is the last year I pre-ordered Topps Chrome. Actually, 2015 is the last year I bought any hobby boxes.

I think you're a little high on your projections for how much base rookies will sell for.

Maybe.. but since I believe PSA will have a $35-$50 service I can see base cards getting close to the levels they were getting before the lockdown.. for example Acuna Topps chrome Base Rookie was selling for $100 and a PSA $250
now its maybe half of that, in part because those base cards cant be graded. but once they can be graded then Potential Superstar rookies like these 3 players could sell very well...

lets say they dont get to 2020 levels, but these prices seem very realistic

$35-$50 wander PSA 10s $175
$15-$25 Julio-Witt PSA 10s $115

Im counting on PSA having a $35-$50 level by JULY 2022

I don't see the 35-50 level being back that soon. It would also take you at least a year to get the cards back if they do. I think your way off on PSA 10 and raw prices outside of maybe the first few sales. Even still, 250 is not that bad a price given the class, but probably not as rosy as you think.

$1900 per hobby case and dropping..............that's about $160 per box.

Wander base getting pretty close to $5, just one week after product release.

Well, that .0001% chance that Wander base rookies hit $5 has happened.

One in ten-thousand chance.

Great call, my man Bri!

Thank you! as always your just messing around

You well know most of my talk was by release, not forever lol. they could be .10 cents in 10 years for all I know.

and I just sold some a large lot a 2-3days ago for $10 each

But as always you are trying to stir things up and you say you arent a Troll hahahaha get out of here

Who knows what you might be looking at, but you might be looking at a very ofcentered one, auctions ending at bad times, bad seller review, a single card taking into account shipping
ohhh and its the offseason, so yeah

Wouldn’t this be a great price to load up at?

I mean, if you believe in his talent, buy 1000 copies at $5 apiece during the offseason - if they ever get to $20, that’s a hefty profit.

Hobby boxes down to $149 on BO for the Black Friday sale. It's only- what- six weeks after release? Always fun to look back and see how predictions panned out.

Especially when it's the biggest pump thread in the history of the BO message boards!

Base card prices have collapsed. Robert and Bichette PSA 10s are $40 to $45. Wander plays in Tampa. $25 base card raw?

I don’t want to discourage you as $250 isn’t that terrible a price for the reasons you mention. I can’t imagine Wander going for more $25 for very long. Maybe right at release.

I think they have collapsed because it was based a lot on being able to grade them.. But popular Star players should be gradeable at a $35-50 level..
many people will want a Wander Franco Rookie and not everyone will be able to pay $2,000 for a Purple /299 PSA 10

oh well, I absolutely see Wander Franco rookies for sure being $25 grading them at $35-50 and being able to sell for $150, and possibly the same for Witt/Jrod

Thats if they get to the Vladdy-Tatis-Acuna-Soto level.. Wander has already been labelled as in that level

Robert-Bichette were never placed at that level, and they did collapse in part because of bad timing-- Robert being injured/Bichette with Vladdy stealing all the attention. these two players could be good buys
