The one touch factory needs to hire more people.

They should be cranking them out 24/7 at max capacity

I see two types of flippers. There's one group trying to make a small profit over a large number of cards. The other group is trying to make huge profits over a small number of cards. The former will be more sustainable and probably a good source of income for the people doing it over the next 300 cards.

Boeing isn’t making planes right now, Topps should ask them to make one touches instead

People here would be ecstatic if these were the numbers.
This would actually be a really healthy PR.

Where does one see the PR release? Not that it matters, because it will be posted here .2 seconds after it’s announced, but i’m curious.

Ryan Vides and Griffey Shore are both $25 on eBay. Faster pace than the Trout Rochester. It’s only going up.

I’m kicking myself for not getting the Don C Thomas. I just kept telling myself I can’t buy them all & im not a huge fan of the 90s style all gold cards. Now today’s card may be one of my favorite of the set so far & could see myself collecting all of his releases.

Ready to get my 5 of each of Griffey and Ryan so I can sell them on eBay for $100,000 each and become a millionaire. Investing 101

look at things this way...

new to P2020? Love (player/artists name here)?

well, you are in luck!

(player/artists name here) has ~15 cards left to collect from Topps!

but, but, but .... im missing the first five and cant afford the super high pricing!#@

thats ok, think of it this way.....

youll have 15 of the 20. *if* the set becomes something special, you'll have 75% at SRP

if the set bombs, you can then go and pick up the missing five and own a set that you can be proud to own

Just bought a SIFF Ripken. I think its one of the top 5 best looking cards in the set so far. I think Im done buying older releases, my bank account cant take it. For the older cards, I ended up with Saladeen MAys, Saladeen Ichiro, Saladeen jeter, Saladeen Mattingly, Baller Trout, Efdot Ryan, Siff Ripken

The only others I didn't get that Id really like are the Saladeen Griffey, Blake Henderson, and Siff Brett.

I've got plenty invested and am very much so rooting for these things to continue to skyrocket. I also will be collecting a lot of the cards that I like moving forward, so don't take it as all these "flippers" care about is the market. Frankly, it's perfectly fine to care about the profitability aspect and nothing else, as I'm sure a large swath of this thread falls into that boat. That's actually what has turned this thing into what it is.

Ok, good. I'm not the only person that thought that describing "positive vibes" with "whiny" was odd.

Trust me. He's not paying $15.50.

False. The coupon codes are shown above shipping as an item adjustment on the order. But I'm starting to get the feeling that you're one of those guys who is never wrong so enjoy!

Does no one remember eTopps? I feel like no one remembers eTopps. They used nearly the exact same model, with print runs each week based on the numbers purchased. I understand how this is "different and better", but I feel this will go south at a faster rate. Congrats to the people that were in early, but I would take the money and run on this stuff. If you have the next AJ Hawk/Tony Banks don't hold it forever.
