Topps Chrome Ben Baller Edition(?) - Page 120

ninjacookies · 09-21-2020, 09:43 PM

I'd be clenching my angus tight at night if I sold any singles for extensive riches in the past 2 weeks.

Especially knowing Benjamin's target demographic. #p2020vibes

Top ten post ever on the forum.

Anyone else try to call and get an answer. When I call the # online they don’t answer and it disconnects

It looks like they didn't answer even 1 call today. About 10 of us on BO were on hold with them and never got in, not even #1 in line!
What cowards!

This seems to be the pattern on most releases nowadays - first to market gets crazy money, then prices steadily decrease and bottom out when people are flooding the market with singles at auction because they are racing to the bottom trying to squeeze nickels from dimes. Once the initial phases are over, the true market is established. This should be looked at as an opportunity to buy for most.

The market has decided. Ben Baller is nowhere near Finest Flashbacks.

I'll be ripping my Ben Baller box for giggles and hoping I get a Trout die cut.

Not sure I see the problem when boxes are still going 640-700 range.

SupermanBrandon · 09-21-2020, 10:36 PM

Estimated print runs on the base?

Boxes are high because of the gambling aspect of pulling a 1/1 RC or a low #d auto. The "what if this box has the superfractor RC" mentality them "investors" have

Wouldn't it just be best to sell the box and buy the card you want? You can get pretty much any non ultra rare card for the price the box will fetch..

I wouldn't mind if Lewis' price dropped too. Lowest I see right now is $60

Usually in hindsight yes, but some people like the gambling aspect of it.

Those are ebay prices. Too much of a risk selling there for nowhere near the same multiple versus FF.

CapeTownCards · 09-22-2020, 01:51 AM

LOL. People say we can't use ebay to determine value. Then they turn around and use ebay to determine value.

Baller chrome has been selling in 600-700 range on ebay.

FF price can be found under BO's current buy list:
2020 Topps Finest Flashback Baseball Box
Paying: $425.00

You can use ebay to determine value but you need to factor in the risk of chargebacks. Nobody needs that kind of hassle. And if you think seller protection is always a sure thing, now THAT's lol.

Archangel1775 · 09-22-2020, 02:46 AM

The 1985 and die cut inserts have long term appeal.

aaah Ok! So any Blowout offer is the real value of any product. I think I understand now yes. Thank you.

(The assumption seems ambigious. So to clarify. What I meant was: Whatever BO offers for a product is the real value.)

Hmm... not at all what I said which you'd have noticed if you weren't concentrating on only picking an argument.

Got notice last night and checked my orders today and the MC box shows complete.

Campbelljh3 · 09-22-2020, 08:09 AM

Is their customer service line just disconnected?

Mamschler1 · 09-22-2020, 08:20 AM

I've called twice (once last week and once yesterday) went through the prompts, pressed 1 & 1 again.... sat on hold for probably an hour each time.

In the end I talked to a rep both times.... from what they seem to know, their shipping (arm) is completely detached from the order processing (body) which is ass- backwards....

They were originally told all orders would ship by last Friday. That has been updated to all orders will ship by this Friday.... that's the message I am getting, at least for now.

It seems like it. Quite a few people are complaining they can’t get through.
They should really invest in getting their CS line upgraded or staffed...
