Right now I know that boxes of modern stuff in general is dropping and people are definitely catching on. Going forward you will see that modern boxes and single cards are not going to sell for as high as they used to.

And you're absolutely right, Panini can charge whatever they want if they saw that prices were going for two to three times more in the secondary market. They can do that, but Topps knows that too about their cards and they don't do it. Upper Deck knows that too about their products but they don't charge 2ndary market prices. Card companies traditionaly charge suggest retail based on what it cost to make a product. There is usually a disclaimer from the companies stating that they are not responsible for any future value of the cards. Usually card companies allow the collectors to gain on any potential profit but Panini charges market value. Look at their rewards cards or their Instant cards, everything on their site is based off of market value. You don't see other companies charging more for a particular player when they do on demand cards.

Btw, the price of these FOTL Prizm Soccer boxes are well below the $850 that you said it won't go below. Just admit it, modern cards are way overpriced and people aren't dumb. They finally see it.

1. Are you just talking about soccer or all sports? If you know what to buy, then you are seeing big increases in wax. Contenders Football, 2018 Update, NT Basketball, all the big products are going up.

2. So 2/3 companies are leaving millions of the table for flippers to get a hold of? I don't understand, the MSRP FOTL just to sell out in a second and people got mad. Now Panini is capitalizing and ALLOWING consumers to pick the price they want to buy at. It is a win win. If you are priced out, that is on you.

3. 90% my guess isn't "well-below". I'd argue I actually had a decent guess despite being incorrect. It sold out at $780 fyi
