I don't know, that green Trout probably covers the cost of at least one of the boxes just by itself. Base Trouts raw from regular 2020 Sapphire are going for $80+. Nice hit.

What are the colors besides green and orange? Just red?

Lots of people saying 'blah' to their boxes not realizing how good some of these actually are...

At the $150 buy in price, I am far from discouraged. I consider the auto a bonus, hit a parallel of the right guy and boom! Lots of good names you don't see in a typical flagship release with the retired guys in this.

Yeah, I think they are looking at it like a 'regular' box break and not a Sapphire break....which is a game changer on value.

I am very happy with this release, not sure why the negativity. Especially at price point I would rather have 2 of these versus 1 of the regular chrome sapphire.

We know why the negativity.

People who have, pump.

People who don't, dump.

People who don't have the best break will say its horrible, just like any product. People who hit some good cards will say they are nuts. Same as every product, no one will get the full picture until a month from now most likely. Too many knee jerk reactions both ways in the first week.

Oh, I was pleased with that box. I probably covered most of the $300 total outlay in that box. I'm just saying there will be some boxes with one of the big RCs and a decent auto or hit. It was a good box, for sure, but not one of those great ones.

It easily beat my Bowman Draft Sapphire break. My 2020 Topps Sapphire break turned out to be sneaky good thanks to Arozarena and Lewis RCs.

I think my worst two sapphire breaks were GPK and 2020 Bowman Draft but I've honestly enjoyed every single one except for maybe 2020 Topps Sapphire because I had built the 2018 (mostly) and 2019 sets through personal ripping and that became an impossibility from the format change.

I apologize if this has been asked before, but where do you find the bounties? I always check here [https://www.blowoutcards.com/wanted#seal] but can't ever seem to find the most recent ones, like this Update Sapphire one that you mentioned...

Maybe I am unique but had more fun breaking the bowman heritage and like the cleaner look of them better.
I am close to my first ever parallel rainbow. the bowman heritage. The player is not that exciting but you never know: was fun to put together.

I wasn't sure whether to hold, flip or rip these, but when the box showed up like this, it made my decision easier. Luckily, only 1 box was damaged. Nothing great in my break, pictures to followAttachment 500513

lol seriously. I'm starting to think no one is satisfied unless they hit a Trout super auto or something. Even then they'll hate it because of the sticker.
