Per GPKNews (https://gpknews.com/):

As with S2 Sapphire, the odds don’t come out exact for each parallel. Based strictly on the odds, there are anywhere between 20,800 (Pad) and 22,275 (Yellow) boxes made for this release. Most of the parallels math out to right around 21,250 boxes, which would be 2 hits per box. This puts the box production right around the same as S2 Sapphire. However, because of the smaller set size, base card production is increased. There are right around 6,375 of each base card in 2022 Sapphire. Check out the chart below for a comparison of the Sapphire series.

Sapphire Box Production

S1 Sapphire – 16,600 boxes
S2 Sapphire – 22,000 boxes
S3 Sapphire – 21,250 boxes


Not too bad! I'll gamble with a few boxes (not to rip, strictly to resell to build funds for baseball/basketball cards/wax).

Yea both releases had, now we don’t see the top of the box, so maybe it tells you there. It’s still crazy to not promote it not even on Twitter.

Haha, appreciate it!

I purchased 6. If I'm able to recoup my initial costs by moving 4-5, I'll be happy to open 1-2 of these.

Is there any recent update on the timing of them shipping the Bobby Witt Jr Curated Boxes? I feel like we have already blown past their last updated guess for when they would ship...

sounds Bowman draft has pushed back to Feburary 8th.

I feel like its appropriate to add "allegedly" when discussing the release date of this product at this point

Their last update that I received were that they were delayed and they didn't have an approximate date in it.

I did happen to contact Topps last week on another item and asked about this and MLB x GPK Series 1 and the response I got is that we expect them to ship in the next couple of weeks.

Perhaps we'll get them by the time all players have reported to Spring Training on Feb 21st?

Has anyone tried to order more than 10 boxes of GPK? I bought 10 and sold them on ebay and I would like to buy a few to open with my grandson. I can't take a chance getting the 10 boxes canceled.

Are these boxes really going for $180-200 on ebay?

Surprisingly.

Though I expect prices to drop, at $120 per, it seems low-risk. There's a lot of personal/group breakers of GPK Sapphire too.

2021 boxes are selling for right around $200 too. I think these are really low-risk at $120, I went back and bought another 5 to get to 10.

I'd put up a post to drop ship them, but with my luck, the buyer would cancel or request a refund and then I'd get stuck. Or someone would put in a big order right after they sell out on topps.com.

Yeah, I found that out yesterday. It still showed as 3%, but then when I clicked the link it just gave an error page that said bad merchant.

It was great while it lasted!
