Ha, I know- I did not because I've had crazy good luck with smart post (usually gets to me quicker than ground for some odd reason) and I figured it would be a difference in $10s of dollars, not $100s of dollars so was going to sell but with those opening prices I couldn't resist (so happy I waited to get in hand before emailing blowout and weak hands prevailed)

I've already sold $93.80 per box of singles so yeah for that high of quantity it's stupid to not be the first one getting stuff up

Makes sense. Nobody was expecting these prices

Plus if you are the first one up, there is no price comps so you can set the market

Agree. I opened 4 boxes Monday night ($215 dlvd). Ive sold $125 of it already. All singles. Im guessing I can get to about 75% return w/out selling the 2 biggest cards from the rip. Keston Purple /10 and a Lindor Orange /25.

Yep and don't think anyone has the quantity I have of pick your base singles. Sold 237 cards for $675 after fees just from them and have like 700 left

And those 2 cards are big money

That's about $2.85 a card, 32 cards a box, that's $91.20 per 32 cards so far. That's a 182.4% return per box so far.

So as I'm sleeving every card from my 10 boxes I was thinking and I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but does Alonso only have base autos? I haven't seen any color autos. I was lucky enough to hit a base auto in my first box so the rest is just gravy, but it seems weird that no color autos have been listed. Might make the base autos worth a bit more if there is no color.

Certainly a good observation, I've searched Ebay and couldn't find color autos....premium for the base auto?

Has most of the boxes shipped out yet? That could be why. Aren't a lot of people keeping boxes sealed?

Rooftop · 10-04-2019, 03:50 PM

Or you could've made $5,000 by waiting around for an hour on sale day and then spending about 15 min. printing a label and dropping it off at fed ex.

Too much work rippin...

Cubfan86 · 10-04-2019, 03:52 PM

I think the Big Boy autos are just really SP. I know there is a limited amount listed and busted but they are not an easy pull.

You talking about Vlad or the big RCs?

By BIG BOY...I knew he was talking about our Vladdy. Does it look like Vladdy actually ate Pete, Eloy and Tatis for dinner?

Am I the only one that doesn't like the sapphire? Especially at the price point? Considering they ran the presses, which clearly they did, why would anyone pay $200+ per box for this stuff?

I prefer Base Flagship/Update BUT Sapphire is a good flip whether you open or sell sealed

Because many collectors/flippers feel otherwise and pay premium for the singles.
If singles sell well, the box has to as well.

I liked previous years' design better with blue background on the base non-parallel cards, but still like this year's normal "atomic" finish in general as well.

Third box in. Not a crazy hit, but it really does make it hard not to rip everything. Really fun product.

You are killing it. I've now opened 6 boxes. Two Tatis', but nothing else to write home about. Still super happy that I got that lucky though.

Need to figure out how to offload the singles.

I'll trade you this Eloy for a tatis base!

You did well.
