Yes. Also yes.
Still no shipping on mine, and I havent found any breaks. Guess no one has gotten them yet.

I was excited to get a topps shipping notification, but it was just for project 2020. Boxes haven't shipped yet

Unless you're an MC member there's no guarantee you'll get the next sapphire, ginter x etc at msrp so appreciate what you have in your hot little hands.

But if you sell your box then it definitely doesn't have a Trout die cut. lol

Not a MC member. Got both Flashbacks and Baller.

I wouldn’t sell this for less than $700.

Baller sold 10 boxes for $1111 each. Each had his auto. Seems crazy to me. 100 packs went for $111 each and sold out within minutes.

Greenbee · 09-13-2020, 01:22 PM

I got 1 pack.

4 packs already up on eBay. Right now, I’m planning on ripping mine.

Reverend Ghost · 09-13-2020, 02:44 PM

I learned my lesson with Flashbacks. I presold a box for $125 to pay for the two boxes I ordered. Luckily the one box I ripped was incredible, but no way I am flipping my Baller box for less than $700. Mine should be here Monday and I’ll probably stash it for a good month or so. Left a few hundred on the table with Flashbacks, a pretty cheap box at msrp. These at $250 msrp, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to see these climb to 1k. I mean what are boxes of Flashbacks doing now? 5-600?

I can't recall a single time where selling a Topps online exclusive asap was a good idea. Weak hands always seem to lose.

Hoping I get my overnight Montgomery order shipped tomorrow

Just got shipping notification on the box I won via raffle on 09/02. The Montgomery Club box I purchased on 08/28 is still processing lol.

both.

finitefinds · 09-13-2020, 08:08 PM

I got the fedex notice last night and the Topps notice this evening.

ryknow216 · 09-13-2020, 10:32 PM

Apparently Topps ships on the weekends but still no ship notification.

Archangel1775 · 09-14-2020, 01:04 AM

I wouldn't underestimate the power of social media here. He seems to have a strong following so these getting back to $1000(4x) is possible. Flashbacks is a different beast that has settled at about 9x-10x of initial pricing.

As for singles, maybe 4x for those that parallel Chrome. I think the inserts could be big. The market will dictate that. We still have Sapphire on the horizon.

I want a loubob. If I can land one of those, I’ll die happy. I have to admit I also like the BB chain hanging off the Topps logo. It kinda gives the card some swag. I get that “Acuna” vibe with them.

Interesting, that's the one part of the card I dislike. Seems gimmicky and makes the card look like some ebay aftermarket creation.

Nothing against Baller, and we are all allowed to like what we like, but without the chain I'd be more willing to add these to my collection.
