2022 Spidey Metal - Page 8

Yanks23 · 04-15-2022, 02:13 PM

They are for sure making more product as it was mentioned before the 2 new numbered color cards to /50 and /25 will increase the hobby boxes and with retail having the yellow parallel there will be a lot more base and inserts to go around. This is a good thing with all of the demand but just be careful paying these crazy high prices as there will be more wax around but it just maybe held by the big sellers.

Anyone know if this is still coming out at the end of the month or has been push out again?

KidKards101 · 05-13-2022, 01:37 PM

Dave & Adams pre-sale price now at $499.95. Looks like pre-sell prices still going up lol

People opening this stuff are going to get killed now that the Marvel hype train is cooling off.

BobCollects · 05-13-2022, 02:11 PM

Blowout still says 5/26/22 but DACW has a 6/29/22 release date.

DynaEtch · 05-13-2022, 02:57 PM

Im going to guess late June since that's when 2021 X-men Metal physical was released. It'd be a year later. Just a guess though.

It's still higher than when Spidey Metal was first announced, though.

DynaEtch · 05-13-2022, 04:39 PM

I have no doubt this set will be big, in fact it may reinvigorate interest in pmgs/Marvel after the slight lull. This coming from someone without a single box pre-ordered (I mainly collect Masterpieces so will mostly be staying away, although will probably pick up a base set).

glorbgorb · 05-13-2022, 05:23 PM

I'm sure there will be re-invigorated interest. Unfortunately for a collector like myself, I will likely have two characters in the base set which means I will need to spend more on the PMGs and all those extra parallels. Ugg.

BipolarBear · 05-13-2022, 07:36 PM

I think the lull is temporary, driven by tax time, inflation, and a lack of new material. We saw a similar cooling off last April. But the past two years have completely shattered my understanding of the Marvel card market, so my opinion is sh*t, so don't take advice from me.

This feels like crypto to me. Things were pretty darn steady for a while and then out of nowhere, things just start to spike up like crazy. Now here comes the crash down to earth. Are things still up compared to a few years ago, yeah, but are they going to go back to the crazy highs from before? I highly doubt it in the near or medium term.

The thing is, even if prices drop 20% a bunch of collectors will jump back into the game and start purchasing again. So I don't think there's going to be an outright crash.

KidKards101 · 05-14-2022, 01:06 PM

Looks like Dave and Adams sold out of the pre-sales at $499. Next stop is another $25-$50 increase? Looks like the ceiling has not been met.

Strange. These were at $525 on dacard several weeks ago.

Still, I have no doubt these will be at $1k minimum on launch and anyone who says otherwise is just a desperate downramper. There's been plenty of opportunities to buy in to this product every step of the way so if you miss out on it there's no one to blame but yourself.

This belief if compounded by the news that the pmgs will actually be pmgs too.

KidKards101 · 05-24-2022, 03:06 PM

As expected, Dave and Adams has the pre-sale up at $539.95. It's been up since early this morning. Have we reached the ceiling?

Yeah, feed that FOMO.

And yet epack will still be, what, in the $200's per box? That's the mind-boggling thing. Im not sure if the physical will quite be 1000, but if it gets even close, that's a tremendous differential, and makes you wonder who would pay that much for this box with epack looming around the corner.

I don't know what a downramper is, but I guess I'm one?

I've no doubt there will be a premium upon release, but $1,000 out of the gate?

It's mind boggling because it's not going to be priced in the 200s.

daviswr7 · 05-24-2022, 05:23 PM

Yea, I have to think that UD will review current market pricing and E-Pack pricing will reflect that. I think it will be lower the Current MV but it will be a lot higher then people think.

I thought I remembered someone heard it in a news drop, all I could find was a post from orion

Could it be a little more than $200s? I wouldnt rule it out....maybe like $300s tops. Do I think UD is going to make it $500 a box? I really dont. If I end up being wrong I'll be the first to admit. And if there really is a big difference between physical and epack, it makes you wonder how fast does epack then sell out. It will be nuts.

UD doesnt seem to be as keen as some people think about adjusting the epack prices to market price....they could have through the entire end of the Marvel Unbound Spider-Man through Wolverine and raised pack price to what people really would have paid, but kept it around the $13 or whatever it was.

Very dangerous territory if they do price boxes/packs similar to how Topps is now. With trading cards, their competitive advantage is epack. The other brands don't have anything close right now. There are many like myself that drop $100 during work breaks once a week due to ease of access/convenience. Not many do that at retail or card shops. If they start trending towards big distributor/online retail pricing, they'll sacrifice that. Doing what they do know, we know that pricing wasn't artificially raised. They'd kill their golden goose. Let Fanatics risk it all with dynamic pricing.

Wombat · 05-25-2022, 04:47 PM

There's no "virtual" (i.e. non-existent) cards in the physical boxes, so why would epack packs/boxes/cases cost near the same as physical?
