First Buzz: 2020 Topps Chrome baseball cards

[actionbryan]

Optic baseball is such a crushing tease image wise.

My new
@Topps
project 2020 card drops in an hour. Tomorrow I’m going to leak my Topps X Ben Baller Chrome collab. It was supposed to drop before the normal set but all good. Mine is way more limited."

Will Ben Ballers more limited set be a card all the RC chasers will want?

If Ben Ballers set doesn’t look like 96/97 metal universe he can keep it. Dude is a clown and exactly what the hobby DOESNT need

In that time spent whipping out a phone another customer can grab what's on the shelf. How would you complain to the manager? I needed a shelf pic to show my retail chops on BO



As for spreading your arms around the shelf or swatting away another customer, be prepared to be banned from that store.

Well that was my friend taking the picture. He's like 6 '4 with tons of tats. Nobody was swiping them from him.

Be careful what you wish for

I'm only opening it because I like the cards. If I were trying to make money I wouldn't bother to open them.

$5 including shipping so more like 99 cents
Most of the autos are rookies from Series 2

I'm predicting his followers and the whole sneaker/StockX crowd trying to buy this all up just based off of his name, but then end up undercutting each other like they do with sneakers.

Obviously i'm looking for Louis Roberts... is there anyone else i'm looking for?

I don't know. Are you looking for someone else?

I predict this could be super hot right out of the gate, and it slowly fades away like the Vee set.

In normal times perhaps. These days, I honestly don't think that would stop anyone from taking whatever's on the shelf.

It's first come first served, not stand there and take a picture first lol.

Looking like Bo autos are redemptions as well. Hopefully this will prevent people from stockpiling.

[Metsaholic230]

Any decent rookie for series 1 and 2. May, Yordon the Bo show etc....

Well he got out alive with them. So it all worked out. The tricky part is that my mail sucks. They are too lazy to bring mail to the house and frequently leave it next to the mailbox. I have complained many times to no avail.

I even bought the biggest mailbox you can find.

Niceee

Chrome is for color, not autos

[SupermanBrandon]

People on Facebook are literally clearing the shelves of '20 Chrome right now. Most seem like they have zero clue as to what they are buying. Thats obvious because they are also buying Optic and Panini baseball along w/ their Chrome.

I dont care how these rookies pan out the panini baseball products will never be flip worthy until they get the license.

Great haul! How much did you open to get all that?

[cavsfan70]

Was going to run by Target or Walmart today but I doubt anything is still there by now.

[chuckerrrr]

Depends where you are? I have been to many targets and walmarts in the last few days and stores have not been stocked yet.

This new generation never lived through the junk wax era. They don't know
