Veteran base from baseball sapphire is wildly popular, and the top guys (like Mike Trout & Mookie Betts) command big prices. It's really not an exaggeration to say that Sapphire is the absolute pinnacle of regular set products (meaning excluding products like Immaculate, National Treasures, etc.), and this being the first year is going to always going to make it command a premium. For players that will have long term collector demand, like Messi & Ronaldo, I wouldn't be surprised if we see their sapphire base cards in a PSA 10 eclipse $1,000 within 6 months.

Now if only Topps would get rid of chump and sticker autos from sapphire! Hopefully update sapphire was so last minute it was just a one time sticker dump. My point is if you want this to be your pinnacle, which I agree it should be, then take out the awful auto subjects and never stickers again
