2020 Topps Chrome Sapphire - Checklist Up

[KhalDrogo]

All I know is that it won’t be as much as everyone thinks it will be. People thought $100+ last year. Ended up being $50. I’m guessing $75-$100 this year.

[Pacmeyer]

Regardless of price, the salad days of normal folks getting their hands on 40 box cases are over.

[ucLAkers]

Well...with Lux sucking, I should be able to complete my team set & colors fairly cheap this year.

Can we expect this to drop this coming week?

Should come out this week but if there are printing delays could be another week or two.

With 700 subjects there is the possibility of only hitting a few of the big names in 100 boxes. Will be interesting to see the bids if he does do the auction. Much different with Bowman with only 150 names.

I think you could do veteran base by teams so 30 spots - then the rookie spots.

He mentioned this during his 20 caser. He asked what everyone's thoughts were.

Looks like the party starts today for Monty Club - I'd assume the peasants get to try their luck on Friday.

[MTBRM]

Honestly I'd prefer the route they took with the Archives Snapshots boxes in regards to only accessing through the e-mail. That's me speaking on whiffing on every raffle to date, but that seemed like that would be a fair way of doing things.

[brothertona]

If they put the limit in place I'm all for the only accessing through the email. I'll gladly take my one $50 box.

[trouts2]

Email said 2 boxes per membership. Last year there was no limit I think.

There was a 40 box limit per transaction. Could purchase multiple times if you were fast enough.

[brothertona]

Last year there basically was no limit and they technically had limits in place for Bowman Heritage/Bowman Sapphire and BDS. Unless they make the limits concrete people will take advantage of it. I'm glad they are putting hard limits on these. It sucks for those trying to put together sets but it also prevents problems like Bowman Heritage where they put a limit of 3, and people bought 30+ or in the case of BDS where people bought cases and crashed the site, or Bowman Sapphire where bots were getting 100+ boxes. I understand capitalism and just let everyone get whatever they want but it isn't a great system for collectors. You get a few people with a ton of boxes that then shape the market and basically lock out everyone else except those that want to pay ridiculous secondary prices.

Exactly but sucks that so many say to shut up and deal with it which is basically how it is. I just want a box or 2 to enjoy ripping at the actual MSRP. Then will decide if I want more at the secondary prices. Would be nice to see secondary prices go up reasonably but that is out the window.

[cjmccreary]

Any MC members report what the cost is per box?

Also if more people are getting boxes more singles are getting out which is better for everyone.

They do not give price in advance

[BabaORiley]

4 cards per pack, 8 packs per box, 1 auto per box on the mockup.

I’ve seen some MC say they’ve already bought.

Who!?!?!?

[Coach Ditka]

I'll be happy if I can get one measly box for MSRP but know much of it will end up in the hands of a few.

I'm guessing you will be low. Topps is getting smarter in this game.
