Topps Chrome Ben Baller Edition(?) - Page 20

Hollywood42 · 08-28-2020, 09:14 PM

After seeing some of these cards I don't know if I'll even enter the raffle to try and win and flip. Thought these were dumb since it was announced and nothing is changing my mind yet

Fair enough, but no post quoting/reference or context leaves for a very vague question, no?

Agreed. Maybe they pop more in person, but I don't see much of a difference here at all , based on these photos.

Yes, I am thinking along the same lines now.

I'll wait for the MC membership to open up their boxes and see their breaks online to see the cards.

I also don't know if ill enter the raffle. Would love to see the video of his break.

Anybody else think it's hilarious that this millionaire wants to give the cards away (which I guarantee he didn't pay for) yet says, "I'm not gonna pay for shipping"? Also the fact that he's going to raise the prices on the ones he's going to sign, blah this guy seems like a toolbag. 100% money grab by him as he continues to boast about how cool they are. Almost makes me not want to buy and flip.

Ya I thought it was pretty funny when he asked to cover the shipping hahahaha.

Hollywood42 · 08-28-2020, 09:38 PM

He put the word "baller" in his name. How much more obnoxious can you get?

No, it really was perfectly clear what he was asking. Anyways, these cards are really underwhelming.

JRX · 08-28-2020, 09:44 PM

His P2020 cards are also underwhelming in person and I'm all in on P2020. I thought the chrome would work better with his style, but maybe not.

The irony...

Is it just me or does this stuff look like #@#@#@#@?

The diamonds need the atomic refractor skin

So far from his box:
Green: /99 Meadows and Mercado
Gold: /50 Olson

It looks horrible. I’d like to hype it up because I have a box coming, but it looks bad.

He’s also an idiot on twitter which doesn’t help. Criticizing MC members for selling their boxes because he thought they were collectors. Most people who have been collecting for years have limited interest in this product. He then states he has to Jack his price up.

I’m not going to underestimate the Gary vee influence though. Maybe this will be huge.

And no, my box isn’t for sale. I will most likely rip, like I do everything. I’ve never sold sealed wax. I just hate the idea of ripping something in which I want to sell everything. If I was ever going to sell a box, this would be it.

Sbrown3583 · 08-28-2020, 09:57 PM

Can someone please tell where on topps website I go to enter the raffle? I can’t find it anywhere.

Yeah, I thought that would be a given. Pretty weird.

That is just Ben Baller's way of showing off the high eBay sales, to hype the product. He is not mad at MC members, he's flexing in his own BB way. Does it with his P2020 releases.

UGLI baby · 08-28-2020, 10:01 PM

Maybe these will look better in the video...

Yeah that was a pretty obvious flex...

"Guys no, stop buying for $250 and selling for $1,000! Stop that!. This is for CLECTORS ONLY!"

ZappBrannigan · 08-28-2020, 10:04 PM

If i read the checklist correctly there are superfractors of the die cut cards, will be interesting to see what the prices reach with his fans and clients entering the bidding.

Someone can correct me if I read the checklist wrong...

Zauron · 08-28-2020, 10:07 PM

lmao whoever is buying this crap for $1000 a box is dumb

JRX · 08-28-2020, 10:09 PM

I'm sure the Luis Robert die cut will go for a lot. I think they're one per box
