I spoke to the recently as I’m considering insuring myself. They only piece out individual cards, wax etc if they are $25000 and above. The rest fall under the umbrella amount of which you think your collection is worth. For example $50000 would be $300 or so for the year and there is a discount if paid in full, or you can pay the $25 amount monthly in reference to the policy coverage amount stated above. They offer a free quote online and they definitely sound like they have their operation together as an agent called me about a day later to go over my quote. Hope this helps

Thank you. It really outshone everything else I pulled from those boxes and of course it was in my first box. But that's better than it not being in any of the boxes! It's absolutely one of my favorite pulls from '22.

Nice!

JoshMN · 01-20-2023, 03:13 PM

I taunted the wax busting gods and won. Bought 2 boxes from Topps to rip (screw the odds!).

Box 1: not bad... Kwan RC and U115 base, Ottavino red, and CJ Abrams /75.

Box 2: Julio and Witt RC base, lots of the other top rookie RDs including Wander, and Julio /50!!! That's how you do it, fellas!

I think every single base card is like 80/20 or worse centering, but the color centering is quite good. Maybe not 50/50 but not worse than 60/40. If you put a spotlight on the Julio gold it will shine for miles...

awesome man! let me know if 115 is for sale unless its brutal OC

Bunny Hop · 01-20-2023, 03:45 PM

FedEx just dropped off my two boxes (two orders, one box each, free shipping). I'm definitely ripping them but I'm going to try and stash for a snow day or something. Work on my waning impulse control a bit. Maybe.

We shall see. Definitely makes it tougher to shop for singles haha.

Nothing's for sale. Just posting for the data point and to flex a little.

The centering on 115 actually isn't too bad- looking back I think some of the landscape-oriented cards have OK centering in both directions. Out of 2 boxes, only 1 or 2 portrait cards have what I consider good centering (and none of the hits).

notfast · 01-20-2023, 03:48 PM

Fed ex sucks around here so I hope to have mine by Valentine’s Day.

J1L · 01-20-2023, 04:14 PM

Prices ticking up on eBay. Interesting product to follow.

Julio just sold for 251, but likely because the centering is awful.

I was referring to sealed boxes, but Julio’s def coming down as rip rate is much higher.

So what’s with the fedex delays? Some new storm in the east coast?

Both of my orders are sitting in Indianapolis for the time being, the first one has been there 24 hours, the 2nd has been there 2 hours, was suppose to have delivery of one today and one tomorrow, doesn’t look like that is going to happen, sigh

In all seriousness, I'd travel to a large show and try to sell it over putting it on a platform, auction house, or on social. Cash is king!

Tracking shows that my boxes are an hour away. Let's see if it somehow ends up at my doorstep by 8pm.

That’s the plan, going to the Foxwoods show next weekend

Just opened my 10 pack from Topps. Let's just say I opened 3 cases of update and several retail blasters and hangers and did not hit one Julio parallel except for a blue Black Gold. Think I did great with the pull from these boxes. There were not many dups and I am probably 30 cards shy of a complete set and hit all of the major rookies and RD cards. Tried to post pictures using Tapatalk but giving me fits.

Highlights:
Julio #44 purple #/10
Kirby red auto #/5 (in same box as Julio purple)
Kwan gold RD #/50
Soto green #/75

Without the Julio and Kirby could have been a so so break. If I get Tapatalk to work will post some pics.

caulaflour · 01-20-2023, 06:14 PM

Destroyed it! Well done and looking forward to pics!

Yep. Here is the tweet with the photos. Centering on Julio looks pretty good.
