I was not aware of "change lines". Thanks for sharing!

Plus a base ohtani….I’ve now ripped 4 blasters and 2 megas, have $240 in (hopeful) mvp credit. Did anyone redeem with BO last year? Curious if they have a limit, would love to snag some Black Friday deals with mvp credit instead of loading up the debit or credit card lol
That’s about as much (hopeful) credit as I ripped out of a Jumbo case. Something to be said for that.

The megas are a fun rip, did another 2.

No ohtani or Acuna but xfractor rcs of Yoshida, Cabrera, Walker, Senga, and a blue rc Walker /150…wish it was the auto but I can’t complain. Hit a blue wave auto /150 but Elier Hernandez.

2 autos in 4 megas now (steer /199) curious how often they fall. I’m sure nowhere near 1:2

They were on some site and sold out right away. Can’t remember if it was Topps or Fanatics.

Ebay has some listed for $800+. Seems high but seemingly nothing out there for sale. What have you guys seen them for sale at this past week?

But some food for thought, at the moment
Morel OPS = .869
De La Cruz = .786
Carroll = .879
Rutschman = .793
Henderson = .808

Morel like me doing just fine

$450ish. I’ve seen atleast one breaker offering personals at around that price.

I just used print line as a catch all. Whatever type of line it is it’s still an unsightly line. And I’m pretty sure PSA would knock it down for that if I were to grade it. But I could be wrong.

People must be getting brutalized on breaks of this stuff, I can pick up nice refractors and color of decent rookies for less than the cost of a blaster. And its still close to release pricing.

Can confirm. I try a break every year and spent $150 on a few teams and ended up with a base drew waters rc auto, max scherzer green /99 and a few refractors.

I never learn

I've been selectively buying since release day, I'm up to $56 paid (incl tax+sh) for a potential payout of $520.

13 base
2 Sepia refractors
2 Prism refractors
1 /299

If the odds get too long (i.e. if Acuna stays healthy), I have a draft ebay listing for the entire lot ready to go. Someone else will buy the risk for $20 (hopefully).

Ahh! Now I understand why all of my Freeman base got bought up for pennies in one fell swoop. Shame on me for not paying better attention.

That's some rounding you used there to round down to $100 gets you 2 lol.

I've opened a lot of this and quality is much improved from last year particularly compared to Update. $35 is steep but a lot are coming out gradable as they should.
