I received my shipping notification. My boxes will be here tomorrow afternoon.

ethanwa · 03-31-2023, 03:12 PM

Has anyone seen these on-shelf in Target today at all? Or is that going to take another week or two before we see these in retail?

I noticed when I ripped my box the odds are NOT on the packs. First time I remember this for Topps.

got shipping notice today from the one of the big 3 i ordered from. arrives wednesday.

sold out on two of the big three dealers that i checked, but still available direct from topps. don't know if that means initial distribution to online dealers was limited and topps kept much more supply to sell direct.

Would make no sense to keep more back to sell direct and then limit customer to just a few boxes.

my lcs got a case. very strange seeing as they want this product to be highly available to children

fulltritty · 04-02-2023, 05:45 AM

Looks like once again 4 boxes is no longer going to make a set.

We only got one auto, Brewer Hicklen.

Still a fun break with my Son.

I DO NOT like the cards of players that have parallels but no base cards. I think this is dumb.

Then it just has to appear in retail stores and get shelf space. Should be easier than ever with like 7 Panini baseball products not hogging it all up any more.

I agree, don't like this "set" construction at all.

fulltritty · 04-02-2023, 01:37 PM

I forgot to add that I got one of the social media influencer cards. I had no interest in it, so I gave it to my 12 year Son. He threw it in the trash.

autos- i think hobby is about one auto per 3 boxes if i remember the posted odds right.

i hope fanatopps will listen like apparently beckett does and get BL back to a more traditional configuration next year but with the Opening Day stuff like mascots still included.

panini is still making baseball. it appears to be more prospect and retired driven content and not have the current players.

If one does not film it on IG...did it ever happen?

Next time, film the trashing and the tag the influencer.

That's a bummer. You could have sold it and bought another box, based on what those are selling for on Ebay.

New product? Social Media Influencer Trading Cards? What’s taking so long?

FatButcher · 04-06-2023, 02:32 PM

Broke a case for fun and had decent results. 10 autos (Baty /25 best of the bunch), Griffey Gold and 7 complete Uncommon and 10 complete base sets. Best Red was Riley Greene.

Also some guy from Slabstox (Nowak?) and a Foil Mascot (1 in 4 cases)

Good collation and seems to be moving decent enough to recoup most of the cost.

tevans333 · 04-07-2023, 02:33 PM

My 11 year old son just bought a box today with his birthday money and pulled an orange Adley auto /25 redemption. He wants me to sell if for him so he can buy something for his PC (Trout). I told him he can keep a small portion and put the rest away. Any idea's what it's value might be?

Nice hit. Interesting that the Orange and Red Opening Day autos for Adley are redemptions, the base auto is a sticker. And there's an 8-bit auto /25 of his that is live and a sticker.

/25 AND COLOR MATCHING ? I'd put it up at $1500 or best offer and I bet some sucker will hit it. might take a little while but someone will bite or at least give you a decent offer.

i wonder if you'd get more money redeeming it first so a buyer won't have to hope their good chunk of change purchase becomes an adley auto instead of angel pagan auto and two packs of a prior year of opening day.

Heck, shoot for $2,500. Get someone real dumb to hit it.

That's exactly why you sell redemptions.

jduds · 04-08-2023, 03:53 PM

The $1500 and $2500 estimates for the Adley seem overly optimistic, especially for Big League and a redemption, but you never know. His Series 1 88 on cards /25 have gone for $385, $475, and $1000 (big sale!). I'd expect this to go for lower but you do have that one big sale to pin your hopes on. I'd guess $250-$500 at auction.

And I thought I was lucky that I hit Carroll as one of my red foils...
