Well to paraphrase a line from Glengarry Glen Ross;

Maybe you drove here in your $75,000 BMW, I drove here in a f$#king Hyundai......

k13 is SIGNIFICANTLY richer than the rest of us...

The crazy thing is the 2 Haaland in a PSA 10 would probably be worth more than the Messi.

Sick pull though as I have yet to see a CR7 or Messi auto in any break or opening.

New cars are overpriced and waste of money.
You can't even buy a new Hyundai with that Messi.

Yeah, all my base Haalands were rough. Same scratch over right shoulder. Sometimes one, sometimes three scuffs. All vertical.

Best rookie base were the Fatis. Had what appeared to be smooth, clean surfaces.

Chrome is so finicky. (Yes, it's OK to treat it so sacredly when the going rate is over 10x the MSRP.)

Also, key is to lift cards individually after you've opened pack. Do not slide them over one another. With all the dust and schmutz on the backs and fronts of each card that makes its way into each pack, when you slide that stuff, it definitely scratches the tender surfaces. (That's why I can't watch breakers handle this stuff. They treat it so brutally.)

Getting my Haaland Purple and Red ready for PSA express. Was almost too scared to review in too much detail conditions. And it honestly doesn't matter: I need them to be holdered no matter what to protect myself in marketplace given the rampant return rate for anything less than a raw PSA 10.

Wish me luck nonetheless!

Beautiful card, congrats!

[dabearsv2]

I just opened 2 boxes from my case.

0 Fati
1 Haaland
0 Mount
2 Abraham
0 Lee
1 Koita
2 Davies Insert
2 garbage autos (Onana & Miranchuk)
Refractors of note: Lewa, Gnabry, Ramos, Suarez
Parallels of note: Kang-In Lee Purple /250, Tete Purple /250, Lewa Blue /150, Sancho Blue /150

Best Card: Pulisic/Abraham Teammate Gold /50

I think I'll just do breaks from now on and leave the rest of my case alone to sell at a later date :/

I think this is probably hobby myth, and a bit of paranoia mixed with some hope my friend

The cards are already sliding around when they get sealed up, when they get thrown around the warehouse, when they get thrown into the distro trucks, when they then go on a plane/train/van from there... it goes on.

The damage is highly likely already done by the time you open your packs.

Agree to disagree. I've opened enough Chrome wax over the years to have seen a difference between lifting and sliding. Lol.

I do agree all the moving and sliding on its way, sealed, to my grubby paws definitely does it no good.

But I can distinctly remember two times I slid a Chrome card and the one behind got a wicked horizontal line through it cause there was some stupid piece of something stuck to the back of the card on top. Second time it was an Mbappe RC.

After that, I vowed never to slide again. Lol.

Just finished my 1st case and it was crazy.

6 Fati base, Refractor, Speckle, Purple Carbon and a Gold Bubble
5 Haaland base, 1 Refractor, 1 Purple Refractor
CR7 Image Variation, Gold base Refractor, Refractor
Messi Footballer Flash Gold, Green base Refractor
Pulisic Gold base
Son Red base Refractor, Green base Refractor
Salah Footballer Flash Orange
Lewandowski Gold Auto

After that I feel like I need to keep my other case sealed and maybe even the rest of my boxes as I'm stretching my luck here or this product is just that good.

Outstanding case - I think it will be hard to come close with the second one, but you never know, right?

Good luck with whatever you decide :-)

2019-20 Topps Chrome Bundesliga case is selling for 17K+ Is it just me or I think the 2019-20 Topps Chrome UEFA CL Case will match that soon or later. I know that there are less number of cases produced for Bundesliga but UEFA CL has more of the following and includes other top players from different Euro league.

[jjeanius]

Bundy cases are closer to 10k. Not sure where you’re getting 17k from when loose boxes are in the 850 range

LOL. Blowout can ask whatever they want. Doesn’t make it worth 17k until someone is willing to pay that price.

[psochaps]

😂
Selling and Sales are totally different.....

LOL, OK whatever you say.

Blowout is probably the biggest player in the wax market so I would give them some credibility when it comes to pricing case prices.

Please show me where you can get a case price of $10,200 ($850 per box) from a legitimate wholesaler.

There’s a case on eBay for $11,500 and seller has over 16,000 feedback

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Court knows modern soccer wax pricing better than anyone else.
