Click the listing that is $525 and then click the link for “1 sold”.

Shows one sold at $525 from what I see, no?

Either way, I think at the end, there will not be many boxes being offered for sale. These boxes are loaded...who doesn't want to rip and see if they can float in some gold?

Hard to keep these sealed.

You're talking crazy now. You gotta hit a couple monsters to break even. Silvers are going to start coming down to reality with the retail flood. Sell Sell Sell or Hold Hold Hold.

$5k+ for a case, what do you hit to even be close to 1/2 your money back besides a big gold or black

Those people holding FOTL cases, what do you do when all the big black 1/1 rc are hit? When there are more silvers in the market than expected? When retail can be had for cheaper? What then?

At 5 k, I can buy the best hits. I could buy more hits than you get out of a case!

I'm in the "hold" group for cases. But, if I had loose boxes, I'm a ripper.

For me, this is not a business (sometimes I feel like it is), it's more of a hobby. So, if I get a chance to rip a product that is producing well (have some enjoyment), I will definitely consider it.

Each person is different...different circumstances for sure.

More silvers than expected based on a few retail breaks?

As much as anyone wants to guess which way this stuff will go, we all really have no clue.

With regular cases at $3400, FOTL for $1k more seems reasonable.

Then i have fun ripping because I got in at 120 a box.


You act like if someone doesn't get full value then it's the end of the word But no, I literally spelled out worst case scenario: rip the boxes.

It's not all profit and loss. Some of us here enjoy the hobby

Cheapest box yesterday was $530

Now this morning $480

Now $450.

Honestly, I really don't think the current market matters much for the long haulers... Seems like there are 3 camps, those who are holding long term, those who are quick flipping and those who are ripping.

What I am interested in is not the current market which is pushing $500. But in 6 months to a year, when everything is dried up and scarce. How much will those boxes be going for..?

Someone snatched all these up for $480. I'd take my chances on one of these over 2 hobby any day. Be interesting to see where retail wax goes.

We know there were 1600 fotl boxes, any opinions on how many hobby cases were produced? Under 5000? Just curious if there were so many allocations.

I got 2 more boxes of FOTL in last night from a cancelled order which Eric reinstated after calling Panini. I opened both and they werent good. One of my boxes was really odd. I had almost no Rc base in it. There was a total of 6 base rc's in the box. But it had 3 golds and 2 autos (Dennis smith Jr & Shaquille O neal) in it tho.

Did this just sell for $6K?

If so, that's it. That was the last case on ebay as of now!

So it sold, but it sold on best offer and watchcount isn’t telling me the price for some reason.

Hmm, that's a little weird. Individual boxes are selling for ~$500/box (so that'd be ~$6000/case, and that's even excluding any case premium). Wasn't a lot of money left on the table (around $1k)?

In any case, if the seller got them at $120/box, he/she still made a killing.

White Sparkle Packs could do really well in secondary market. Depends on how Panini goes about it.
