Ugh I know I shouldn't think this but is it even worth it at this price? Odds on any one specific base card is 1:24 boxes. I don't think Lux, Alvarez, or Bichette base even pay for the box.

$50 last year as atomics
$300 now? That’s a lot of cash to make em all blue again with the same format. God bless ya reverend Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A good number of boxes would be lucky to get $45 in cards from. Robert would pay for the box but that is a one in 24 shot that you get him. There just isn't enough profit in Sapphire to be worth the $300 right out of the gate.

I lied. I bought two. Held my breath and closed my eyes and purchased. I can’t believe $300 for 32 cards. This is insane. I’m going to assume this is their way of keeping production “lower”. If they pumped up the price and increased production that will NOT be good.

Topps effed up. Sure the Phil’s of the hobby and others who don’t care of cost but this is terrible. Might as well go buy some 2019 with a better checklist.

Come on people, this was inevitable!! You think Topps is not going to get in on the action? They are a business and see their competition raking it in. Welcome to the new world of trading cards. As stated a billion times before by a billion different people, the only way this ends is when people stop buying and I guarantee you this sells out...

Wow, I thought for sure I was buying this but I am leaning towards passing.

If I could buy a case @ $300, I’d do it. But buying two boxes at $300 plus tax, then selling for what, maybe $450 minus fees and shipping, is not worth it to me.

Flipper on FeeBay already "asking" $599 a box.

Yep, I'm passing. The checklist is crap compared to previous years and the price leaves nothing on the bone.

Hopefully the flippers choke on this one but I doubt it. It’s a start though.

And seeing those stacks that Yu Chang was signing, enjoy the $300 Chang auto.

I got two but this may be the first MC product I don't rip myself. That's an awful f###ing price for 32 cards in a set without a comparable set of rookies that compare to the previous 2 years of this product. Love Bichette, think Robert has potential, Lux may right himself, Yordan should be a good DH but is he good enough to be better than, say, Jose Abreu?
This is a weird price flex for Topps. I thought $150 was the ceiling on these, to be honest. |

I purchased two.
Even though I would love to add one of these to my sealed product collection, I will probably sell both, make a small profit and get my 2,400 reward points. Steeeeeeeeep!!!!!! Last edited by cardsforever; 09-29-2020 at 01:19 PM. |

I'm logged in and can't see any MC stuff. Could they have messed with my membership? Just bought snapshots a few days ago...
