I’m also an MC club member and also got group 21. If group 21 is only MC members and group 1 is everyone else including all the bots and sneaker bois, I’m hoping that they do separate raffles for each group

Did Topps ship your box yet? Otherwise probably the only thing you should be hoping for right now is they don't screw up the MC orders again

Flip game will be strong. Today he sold out a gold plated scale for $200. Roughly 1/3 of them are already listed on EBay.

He's sold signed P2020 cards for thousands. The sales on his website are mind boggling. Trout and Frank Thomas signed 1/1 Beckett authenticating his signature for $4k each. He signed the Ricky Henderson in gold /5 and in silver /50 for over $27k total. Then he raised the prices for the same of Gooden and Ripken. Everything seems to sell out right away. Topps is just his cash cash right now. I cannot fathom how this dude has such a following.

As long as it keeps the price of those chrome boxes going up for instant flipping everyone wins!

Granted I had never heard of Baller outside of Project 2020 and don’t use Twitter, but these sound similar to drunken 2am infomercial purchases some of us made back in the day.

Ok, but who is on the other end actually buying his stuff? That's what I don't understand. Everyone talks about flipping his stuff, but there have to be people out there that want it in the end, right?

That's what I'm saying. Who is buying? Will everyone buying with MC or raffle be left holding thr boxes unable to flip them? Forcing them to rip?

This seemingly has great resell out of the gate but what turned so many people on to Flashbacks is that people genuinely want to rip as much of that product that they could get their hands on. This couldn't be further from the truth with Baller Chrome.

If no one's ripping or sees the value in ripping, I think the value will drop considerably. A month from now, I think these will be $500-600 instead of $800-1,000, and if I'm wrong, it'll be due to the strength of Baller's base and not the genuine appeal of this being a loaded product.

But who? Is there anyone on this board doing that? I'm really just curious as to why and what they expect the long term gains to be.

Probably need to get an email to Topps Support about that issue. Not sure what is going on. Wonder if it is the same email address.

I think the wrong email thing also happened with the Finest raffles if I am not mistaken and it was nothing to worry about
