It's almost as if Topps is only just now copying the Panini route with these absurd Tacofractors.

Well a lot of their employees did jump ship to Fanatics so not really that surprising they took their ideas with them.

That said I can totally see them running with the idea for the next few years and doing a new design every year like Hamburgers, Pizza, Hotdogs, Soda and so forth.

I just sold a mid rotation starting pitcher golden mirror for 120 dollars.

The Golden Mirror SSP's were also propped up by the bounty to put together the full set. I had the first Miles Mikolas to hit eBay and it went for over $200+ to a breaker trying to help a customer put the set together.

Made the mistake of paying $225 for a hobby box at my LCS. Not worth it.

joustpro · 08-08-2023, 05:10 PM

i finally got a gold

Cavs16 · 08-08-2023, 07:17 PM

Are the jumbos at $385 worth grabbing?

Key names will certainly sustain. At a print run of ~150-160, there just aren't that many. I have searches for both Mookie and Kershaw...there were a number up for months and they have all essentially dried up. Certainly lesser names won't creep back up but the harder to find image variations from previous years have tended to maintain a robust market.

How many of the Black & White Mini Diamond Auto and Non-Auto cards were made? I know they are not serial numbered but what is the rumored print runs of these?

Nah. Topps is genius and cashing in on the continued legalization of pot.

Quick question - Did i miss it or not - did other's fanatics orders get delayed? Mine was delayed - may ship on Aug 11th only - but the order status has not moved since i got the "Delayed" email.
Thanks!

After a nice run of the first 7ish blasters my two hobby preorders from topps were mostly garbage.

YESSS! New Wander RC cards still being released 26+ months after his debut. Keep sucking Topps off. Until you vote with your wallet, they will keep searching for the boundaries. Apparently 26 months after his debut is still okay with you all.

It depends what worth means to you. I rip a case here and there for a shot at nice PC Cards. S2 gave me way more of a chance to make a good chunk of the case cost back quickly. With Chrome, if I sold all the autos raw, I MIGHT make back 50%. I did sell some using .99 auctions and results were fine but not great. Could get more value with grading IF the cards grade well. That said, out of the best five autos I kept, two will not grade 10. Riley blue wave and Harris /499 both have corner and edge dings and surface issues.

Same here. My order was delayed with an expected arrival of August 22nd.

spmgeaux · 08-09-2023, 04:16 PM

for those that have ordered on fanatics with this restock, did the orders stick? I've tried three different times, some using my log in and some using PayPal, and they've all canceled (didn't order three at once - ordered 8 boxes, 2 minutes later. Tried again, 2 minutes later canceled).Three times total.

If you used coupons multiple times, they ban your ip address. Nvm I thought it was topps. Topps banned your ip for the new customer coupon

maj78 · 08-09-2023, 04:39 PM

The mega boxes say estimated arrival time September 1st. Is that you guys experience with Fanatics that it takes that long to receive an order?
