People are ready to move past the 2021 lackluster rookie class, plus the final stretches of holiday shopping, plus not a lot of meat on the bone for flippers. Who knows..

This and I think there is a developing concern with PSA if it will ever get back to a reasonable cost or timeframe.

I am guessing it is a print on demand product, but it ships in 5-7 days, so.....

Looking forward to all my Dontrelle Willis and Tony Olivia autos!
It's not an On-Demand product. They wouldn't be able to guarantee an auto let alone ship it within a week. I wouldn't be too concerned with the overall market, just wait until 2022!

These are the main reasons why no baseball products are selling out instantly recently.

No one with any common sense at all thinks that. How is it even a plausible option for them to keep prices at $100+ per and timeframe still remain backlogged? Those two things you lumped together pull in opposite directions. You will have one or the other. May not get both, but you will have one.

If anything that concern is minimizing over time. We can see an end to the backlog finally, i think the projection is aug/sep for it to be cleared. At that point they’ll have capacity to grade 1M cards per month and will need new submissions to fill that, no backlog from the previous era to keep them working.

That and they’ve told us economy/value is coming back mid-2022.

Enough 2021 baseball to chase vet autos. on to 2022.

You know how firms can’t collude on pricing, but United says on the front page of the WSJ: “we are seeing strong demand and will raise prices 5% tomorrow.” And everyone at American and Delta raises their prices 5% later that day?

Maybe Topps is telling you between the lines: We need to make money, but we value some customers more than others, so we are limiting those preferred customers to only 2 boxes while the general public can buy 5 boxes.

Why would they do that? Think about that, and change ALL OF YOUR ASSUMPTIONS Before you start to think about it.

Just a thought.

might also be that it is harder to order. I forgot to try getting some in the afternoon but was amazed it was not sold out when i remembered and tried in the early evening.

i'm not MC, but i had to log in Wednesday to get two rookie cup packs in my cart and check out.

Are you suggesting they're making it harder for bots to order because you had to log in to order?

Some ASRC cards starting to hit the bay. Parallels appear to be foil. So far a black /10 and rainbow foil /99. Maybe we get the 1/1 foil fractor for these.

Retro designs + shiny = awesome! Excited for my 2, wish I'd picked up a few more on public sale.

What /99 card are you seeing? I only see the Garcia black.

Ok, so odds of base foilfractor parallel (1/1) are 1:140 boxes.

Seeing the pic now, the variations have separate odds

It's just for the base as stated (pic of live box on eBay), so 14,000 boxes.
