High correlation between people who like Stadium Club and Finest Flashbacks. I am one of them, as well.

They're two of the top 5 most desirable cards ever produced in the 90s. It's part of the reason I find the last few posts so funny. Frank Thomas is 90% of my collection. If you remove his NNOF RC, his most expensive cards are from his 6th-9th seasons.

Seriously, and why isn't David Fletcher in this?

You are calling out a period when his first few years rarest cards had 1mm+ print runs... our current market looks nothing like 80s-mid-90s card market... and thus why the current market doesn’t value things the same way

True, look at Topps Dynasty or even Topps Sterling. You can get a patch and auto of many players for $200 or less and they are all numbered to /25 or less. Manufactured scarcity.

Exactly. Actually scarcity vs manufactured scarcity.

Very nice!!!! You got the gold robert and the red tatis, that should pay for all 9 boxes

Was I the only one that skipped to the refractors and passed on the box toppers and base cards?

Aren’t they both “manufactured scarcity”?

This isn’t like vintage cards that are wear/distraction caused scarcity...

Interesting collation or (just pure coincidence) as my 3 boxes had the bolded refractors in them, same colors and distribution as yours.

Either way congrats on the gold Robert!

Add another Superfractor to the tally...

First box hit a Willy Adames Ref and Travis Demeritte Gold (no Robert) - easily about the worst you can do with this stuff.

Second box had Merrifield Super, Hoskins Orange Auto, Puk Black, Polanco Ref, Posey Gold and Robert - amazing how Topps packs this stuff out.

Everthing listed.

I'm sadly still waiting on 2 boxes I bought on eBay from July 17th. I bought a 2 box lot from one person and I haven't heard a peep in a week. Very sad and frustrating. I knew I should have paid a little more for the ones that said Ready To Ship. Lesson learned.

Also are there any breakers actually breaking this stuff now?

I saw some breaks on Blowout, they filled up fast. Not sure if there's more breaks

Houdini threw some in his mixers over the past couple days. Buffi did a bunch of breaks here on the forum, they filled super fast. Not sure of anyone else though.

I'll be doing one at some point next week (Player break). I don't even know if I'm allowed to post this but it'll be on eBay.
