Nah, you’re just complaining now because you know your ROI is going to be less than you imagined. Those of us who got in early will be fine because THERE IS DEMAND for this set. If our ROI is less for awhile, that’s fine. We know those of you who don’t really give a damn about this set, other than ROI, will give up after awhile, print runs will go down, and everything will go back to how it was.

Then you’ll come running back.
Lmao they’re interested in money not the product what the #@#@#@#@

Imagine building a bot and now buy (200x10x20)k for 5 days a week then only selling them for 400 making a measle 40k a week pissing off collectors and laughing cause this dumb company cant figure it out. Made 320k since the start of the project. And no change in sight. And thats if they only sold them at $400. Mind boggling

Man, on Monday/Sunday, this crowd was happy and sunshine, and now it's about is this worth it still?

As we've said countless times, if you can't afford it, don't buy it. There is countless people out there buying stacks of these now it seems in hopes to get them out of debt, and it's not worth it. So if you can't afford to preorder 10 cards from Topps, don't.

Things will be fine though, I don't see the market completely tanking and go full on panic mode. Market should be strong.

If buying, even at a 10% ROI, means you can print money, people will use up all their capital.

Why wouldn't I just buy 10,000 personally for $200K if it meant that I can return $20K? Better gains in shorter periods than the market.

Lotta work and even more headache.

Yup. When you’re only interested in the money, you only see ROI. Your vision is clouded.

It actually hit me today that selling through some of my cards on these has made me sad about the set. Trying to chase a return is fun and all, but I'm glad I only have a few I want to sell.

I'll look forward to returning tomorrow for more cards I want to keep, and not being so caught up on what the cash out looks like.

With that mindset, you can’t lose. Welcome to the other side.

That unlike the stock market where I can click a button and realize a profit, you actually have to sell these cards to do so.

So far there are 856 total sales of the Ermsy Trout (my favorite card).

That's 30% of the PR. The vast majority have yet to realize a profit on these cards.

Remember, it's only profitable if you sell.

Probably because the AP's aren't on a timer and might use different logic to release.

Regular cards should go up after the Monday releases are gone.

You guys gotta quit getting upset about the APs. APs are for the bots, period. You want an AP? Get a bot.

APs aren’t even in my field of vision.

That applies to everything. I bought Trout's Refractor auto back in 2012, I haven't realized any profit on it because I don't want to sell it.

In other news, my 10 Trout Ballers just showed up.

My son and I zoomed opening them.

If you're still waiting for yours... you now have a .01% better chance of pulling the gold.

I would be interested to know which cards the doom and gloom guys have or don't have? What skin do you have in the project?
