Black friday wave discussion

Hobby factory sets at $59, 2021 Archives Hobby at $99 though I think it will fall lower. Not screaming deals, but actual deals at those prices.

Thanks, Im gonna look into it. I love buying sealed Pokemon, soccer, UFC product because I have no urge to rip it and can hold long term. 2018 or 19 baseball on the other hand tests my mental strength until I show weakness.

Yep, tend to agree on this. Hard enough to find in-store given scalpers pulling all-nighters to get these. I have seen these in-store a few times but too far back in line to be able to buy one. Wallys typically only got 3 or 4 of these I believe on a given re-stock and you're obviously not going to be getting a sealed case at retail. No idea how many sealed cases sitting around at hobby shops.

Sealed cases would be fun and would be scary, the way retail stores handle products can be a bit frightening!

That Chronicles H2 was the best deal I saw all day.

Don't think it was more than 1 case per store per restock. I still need a loose one for display, but I'm not giving up hope on paying retail for one. Sealed cases should do well down the road. Gold Charizard and Pikachu provide for a very high floor.

Wouldn't surprise me. In a recent Topps Soccer release, the "big" hit was a on card Claudio Reyna auto (200 of them) and they forgot to put them in the hobby boxes, and didn't realise until SIX months after they were released to the public

Grabbed a case. Best deal I could find too and spent most of the day bouncing between sites and looking at comps. Around 25-30% off of recent sales and assume going into next yera it will only go up in value. Could be wrong of course.

I just bought the last two cases of Pokémon…until they re-load.

No just H2. The cases were selling on two other sites.

I grabbed some of the cereal cases as well. Seemed like a good deal

I bought these as well. They consistently sell for $20 per box and you got them for $10 per box in this deal with the added premium of a sealed case. Great deal!

Initially there were only the individual boxes available but then the actual cases were loaded too. I couldn't help but go back for those as well.

That was my logic. And I know nothing about the product and/or sport..hahaha. Makes it easy for me to sit on.

I mean pretty much same for me. Haha But not hard to look at legit completed sales and compare those prices to sale prices. Plus, World Cup next year!

The drawback to buying a case, I have to have the will power to not open any...

I can’t believe I made zero purchases yesterday.

Opposite for me. I wasn't expecting to spend as much as I did, although a lot of it went to competition's soccer deals.

Yep, tons of soccer for me. More today: BO has a good deal on the 2017 Select soccer hangers at $90. These routinely go for $140 on eBay. Mbappe rookies inside.

Thank you sir. Have 10 headed my way. Might be opening a soccer hobby shop next week.

Just my opinion but I'd bite the bullet on a upc box. I did this weekend at $275 delivered. I've spent an ungodly amount of time trying to get one of these over the last month, not even a sniff at MSRP

For what it's worth, from what I understand, 60% of UPCs went out at release, 20% hit end of November so apparently that's already in circulation now too, and only 20% left for wave 3 in December. Basically, logically speaking, barring a massive reprint down the line, the chance of getting upc at MSRP is over. And with these boxes and gold cards, this is going to be a larger effort to reprint than some booster packs. I know pokemon prints to demand but still, I bit the bullet and jumped in at $275 so that's my two cents on chasing this product

Looks like 2 boxes have sold searching "2017 select hanger" in the past 4 weeks. Blowout is pumping out hundreds of these. Be careful, the market will drop swiftly on many of these.
