One person should be allowed to have one account. There are plenty of people who want an MC account.

Yes, it's going to sell out regardless. But if non-MC members without a bot have zero shot, give them to members.
This is the way! I support this idea 100%!

is the print run on these significantly lower? 2021 Bowman Sapphire was plentiful and cheaper.

Why don't we all just get bots? All we do is sit around crying about how bots get everything. Meanwhile, the bots win. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right?

Don't see word of any confirmed manual purchases anywhere. Also don't see a landing page for 2021 Bowman Draft Sapphire public release.

Talking about this year only; weren’t they available for less than an hour?

Assuming that’s the case; you’re saying “pretty much anyone that wants one should have one by now” when something is literally available for an hour?

I think the quote should have been anyone who doesn’t have a career or other things in their life where they may not be able to check blowout multiple times per hour should have one by now

They swooped in because they DEVALUED topps by getting the mlb and mlbpa rights.

Anybody who wants one had a chance to buy them in November. They were available for everybody and were not botted out of stock instantly. Anybody who still wants one will have another chance next November also (assuming Topps continues with the club).

Read between the lines - he has a bot. That's how he knows. No judgment from me.

And then you get people like this where you can’t even tell if they’re trolling or not.

“You snooze you lose” on a drop where people aren’t even sure if it happened and not a single person on these boards has confirmed they’ve gotten a single box?

It was known at least 2-3 days ahead of time what day they'd be on sale to the public. I have a wife, 2 kids, and a 9-5 with multiple meetings a day. I wanted them bad enough that I cleared my schedule for 10am-Noon that day knowing thats generally when Topps releases stuff. So yes, "pretty much anyone that wants one should have one by now".

Indeed they do. Every year the current members get time to renew. Then it is opened up to the public. Those might either be extra memberships or unclaimed renewals.

Quite the opposite. Didn't expect anyone to reply as I was just stating what I was experiencing.
