Topps Chrome Ben Baller Edition(?) - Page 4

jduds · 08-07-2020, 10:09 PM

Raffle only(lost last time but much better than alternatives). I won't begrudge MC folks if they do get it, but I don't have to hope for it(j/k?). I'm not sure who a dutch auction ultimately benefits other than Topps (I see plenty of negatives to offset the positives to various groups of collectors), but am skeptical of it in general. Those willing to pay the inflated prices at the dutch auction are free to pay the same inflated prices to the flippers while the rest of the collectors retain a small chance at paying retail.

That would be nice!!
Topps should definitely drive people towards this membership for next year.
Easy to allocate a few boxes per membership and we get to rip for cost.
They make more and we don’t get ripped off on box prices.

1st shot of a Baller Chrome

These boxes are going to be expensive

WhoKilledTupac · 08-10-2020, 02:45 PM

Whoever BB pays to design these does a great job

cj828282 · 08-10-2020, 02:47 PM

$250 per box per his tweet. Cheaper than a hobby box.

ThoseBackPages · 08-10-2020, 02:51 PM

Thinking no autographs, right?

* Look for random Ben Baller autographs, parallels & refractors.

** joking..

I would not be surprised to see some BB auto's himself though.

Raffle? From Topps? How do you purchase em?

KhalDrogo · 08-10-2020, 04:22 PM

Hopefully MC offering. I love easy money.

What's the over/under on number of pages we get post release on people who got it pumping and people who didn't whining about the process?

I’m interested but def won’t be chasing since I don’t have MC or a BOT. Subscribed to wait for the inevitable “when does it ship?” “I don’t have a confirm email, what do I do?” melee.

YanksBillsFan · 08-11-2020, 02:54 PM

So is this when I create 500 other email addresses?

Not for me but I can see why people like them.

New products don't matter much to me. In the end if it sells well, Topps and the baseball collecting community have some fun. If it does poor, then we don't see it again. I don't see how this waters down anything.

Increased print runs of flagship, heritage and other staple products are what we need to worry about. Diluting already existing products with more base is my nightmare.

notoriousrmb · 08-11-2020, 03:13 PM

I know this will sell for a berzillion dollars and sell out to the bots in a nanosecond, but I have no interest in a set by a guy naming himself "Ben Baller" and blinging up some cards.

Next we'll get leather chrome sneakerbotboii exclusive releases...it never ends.

Here is the Robert RC.

There will be superfractor parallels per his tweet but not sure about autos.

PoPCulture · 08-11-2020, 06:20 PM

I love the design of these cards. The thing that kills it for me is the “BB” logo hanging from the TC logo. I wish they had left the logo alone and just let the artist Bling out the cards as much as he wanted. Nitpicking, I know.
