I'll think about it more. If any fathers are planning/thinking to do the same, please share haha.

I like your line of thinking and definitely buy cards for my girls. But, as a father of two daughters I would never buy this product for them. Giving these to them would border on child abuse.

I may have given this one a shot for the hell of it, but I completely lost my faith in the Sapphire line after I saw the print run on Sapphire Tennis. At one point you could reliably expect that the Sapphire sets would have a low enough print run to keep even mediocre sets interesting, a general short supply on base cards and a quite good chance at a low numbered card or two per box, but that went out the window when I saw a bunch of /299 cards fall out of my Tennis Sapphire box. I just have no reason to believe that there aren't 80,000 boxes of this printed and that most boxes won't be stuffed with a bunch of crap numbered out of /599 or something.

Hard pass.

Hard pass > easy pass!

It does look like the presale box was instock until just now I guess they only had it up for 24 hours and now it's not a page. Also here is the checklist: https://www.topps.com/media/pdf/CHP2...S_VERSION1.pdf

So no benefit to being MC for these, shockingly. Not even a lower price.

Another great job by Topps.

Just FYI, I bought 2 at MC price and now it seems I can add 4 to cart. So 6 for MC members? At least that's what I'm seeing.

Yep, they want their $2!

BRob1 · 09-27-2023, 11:36 AM

MC can also buy another 4 boxes so could get more boxes than public if you were so inclined.

Jesus Christ you're kidding me.

I didn't even open the MC link to buy yesterday so I missed that they were $2 lower.

Unbelievably petty.

I will save big on my membership for next year...barring significant changes.

Americards · 09-27-2023, 02:20 PM

I buy just for the MC complete set and the insert sets they send out

JoshMN · 09-27-2023, 02:49 PM

Topps told you how little you were going to get from MC before you signed up. It was in black and white. Not even fine print! The print was big!

And the thing is… they’ve already given you more than they promised! (as long as they follow up with the other presale offers from the original list of 6 products). And you guys are still complaining!

Okay Topps rep...

I'm still waiting on all those items last year that were promised but not given.

Yeah. Sorry. Topps employees kept the items from last year. It was a perk from the Fanatics takeover. I can sell you some of that stuff at MSRP plus market value adjustment if you are interested.

But you’ll get the stuff you were promised this year! No doubt!

The only thing I remember is that there was no pre-sale for TC Sapphire. Which actually didn't bother me due to the price and no autos.

Weren't there a couple of things promised in 2022 that were delayed into 2023 that we never got an exclusive window for?

Archives snapshots, I think? Or my memory could just be playing tricks on me again.

That was the big one but I believe there may have been a few others. I can't remember off the top of my head but there were a lot of issues with the club in general. I remember when people were having their Finest Flashbacks orders cancelled and others were getting free boxes lmao.

It’s like a nursing home around here. There’s not a whole lot of memory function going on. Lol.
