Definitely say I will take it as is no problem. I buy a ton from Topps and they will replace the case.

They sold out "as" they went live, but way before any human could click the link. People are botting the cards. Occasionally someone on here magically hits the refresh button at exactly the right time and comes away with one but almost always they're snapped up by bots..

Predictions... 65K folks. Heard it here first.

Griffey 45K ==> Shore strikes gold. Meet the new Print Run King.
Ryan 20K ==> Cool idea with the special ink but doesn’t have the cool wow factor

I said I didn't believe in a ceiling on 10k+ cards until Jeter 29/39 and Trout 35 were worth more than $35 (funny this was only a few days ago). Game has changed lol. I am a little skeptical of Trout Rochester immediately shooting up but nothing surprises me anymore. Just buy everything.

You think this leaves more room for the Nolan? I think people will be flocking to the Griffey.

It looks like you can order as many as you want and whatever that amount is is the print run?
Or are there set print runs?

Also why do we think the prices are getting driven up so much if anyone can get them?
Or am i dead wrong and these sellout immediate and there is a set limited PR?

Not serial numbered

Seems like mos will collect them in their case instead of graded slab

I am so glad I am not new to this craziness.... I do not think I would understand it had I not sold a Shore Mac May 6th for 37 bux... No way I could make heads or tales of it now... this fits no model I can comprehend

I think I am done for the day - I actually have to do something besides updating spreadsheets.

Topps could've made way more $ by randomly inserting the /20 AP and just charging $24.95 per card....and that way no bots collecting all 20 AP

Absolutely take it anyway. You pretty easily can exchange the case out to another Ultra Pro 130 mag touch, or if its the card looks great, send it in to get graded.
The seller should give you the option, should not automatically cancel.

If someone wants to post a summary as to how this works - I know I don't - let me know and I'll edit the OP.

I am continuing to edit the OP with things I find interesting.

For some of these people cancelling orders, is there a way to contact other buyers and say "hey you can just buy these off topps for 20 bucks"

I think of it like this Bob,

By the end of the run of cards, the 33k even 50k PR cards are going to be miniscule. These cards are tapping into huge markets that wouldn't have eyes and if these artist who have insane followings in social media are actively pumping their product, then there will be profit to be made especially on the 1st 100 cards in the set.

Rochester Trout up 300%
Baller Gooden up 200%

All this in literally 24 hours from ending on Topps website.

IIRC Jeter Thiele and McGwire Blake were at roughly 700 and 600 respectively after 1.5 days of preselling when I checked. So... wow.

I looked at those.

1) Is it possible that they're taking the presale cards every day and just changing the title of the auction and the picture? i.e. they have 200 sales for the Baller Gooden, and 100 sales for the card before that, and they just keep rolling the listing over with changing the title/picture?

2) What is the point of buying through someone else? It's not cheaper unless you want one card.... and then the time value of waiting for them to ship and not getting a chance at the 1/1 is still not worth it...
