I bought 2. Turns out I'm really bad at telling the difference between a Truck and a Bus though.

I'm in that camp.

Honestly, online exclusive and a presale. MC has never let us down. I'm going to trust in Topps on this one.

I just wanted more information before I buy...

This.

I hate they do not have a description listed, but everything through MC has been great, so I am trusting these will have something more then base in them.

Honestly this may be my first pass. I ripped a hobby yesterday and have one on its way from Topps. I'll hold out for Ben Baller Chrome.

Probably a long term hold with Topps losing its license and no one knowing whats gonna happen over the next five years. Fanatics could acquire Topps...may not. But buying my two and storing.

Topps Sapphire last year was a major ripoff. Up til now it was my only pass on MC. After looking at shipping and tax these are $113+ per box. For these to be profitable you'd have to hold and hope the rookies take off years from now. I have better ways to invest my money. (And if I'm gonna rip something it's going to be Platinum Chrome next month.)

I got mine. Don't care about the autos... if it's the same number of packs as a hobby box for $175 less that's great. The 2 horizontal pitcher autos you'd get in the regular hobby box aren't worth $10 combined anyways

I feel that. But given that these are exclusive boxes, I'm going to take my shot. $225 or whatever isn't going to bankrupt me

In for two. Thanks for sharing the link, first time I didn’t receive the email from Topps.

Wouldn't read too much into this, its a new sku so it causes folks to lose common sense but we have seen this before, will likely end up less than a hobby post-release

I figure that the worst I can do is breakeven if I decide to hold and sell and in a couple of years.

This 100%. I'll gladly forgo crappy autos.

Same for me, will likely pass on this as well unless a description pops up and captivates me

With people willing to pay $30 for blasters and $200+ for hobby boxes..dont see the problem trying these for $100.

Isn't it less packs than a standard break? I was under the impression it would be similar to BC Lite and have like 10 packs.
