I never believed that. If we are willing to buy a box at lets say $500, why would they drop the box price to $300 or $400 just because they now skip the middle men? They are just going to sell that for $500 or more and make more money directly off us.

That’s the logical assumption

1 box per customer is brutal, and of course couldn't get it because Topps can't tell legitimate customers from automation (unless they contract it out to a lottery system). Tried for a case as well, but those were gone literally in the first minute.

Topps needs to realize we already have Powerball and Mega Millions, Topps starting to feel very similar

save your money for Sapphire

Assuming Sapphire won't sell out in 2 minutes like today.

[Cracktoast]

Why all the hate ? The first 2 pages of this thread was basically " TCU sucks and is a garbage product" now it's " How dare they limit us to just 1 per customer and it sell out in less than 60 seconds" lol

Is the Botox being used to treat his buttholes-for-eyes condition or is Botox the cause of said condition?

As an aside, is that why they are always talking about the perineum on those pharmaceutical commercials? I never pay close enough attention, but I think a potential side effect must be that your entire face turns into a perineum.

Idiots keep buying.

Wish I had the funds to buy up a case, heck, even a few boxes - it's becoming like a lottery ticket to just BUY anything...

Absolutely. Playing the “build your own box or case” game will be extremely rewarding with the wax prices where they are. $300 for a jumbo?
Even at release you’ll be able to pickup a nice stack of autos n color for three bills..

Can't wait to see how extravagant and debaucherous Rubin's White Parties get after y'all make him even richer.

From what I've heard that's exactly what's happening with Stadium Club this year. My LCS told me they were cut (from 4-5 cases Hobby) to just 1. It seems when it comes to SC they are pushing LCS into the "Compact" boxes while cutting Hobby box allocation. I am sure they will "re-issue" the product at a higher price to my LCS so that they can get the rest of the cases they were expecting.
From what I've heard their is one product they AREN'T cutting allocation (at least in my region) on.... A&G. A&G is waay to hit or miss to pay these prices IMO. Perhaps I'm not the only one thinking this.

Nah, it will be EQL. With only around 10,000 boxes has to be. Only chance will be the secondary market at double or triple the Topps price.

We have no idea the price or the print run......unless I'm missing something?

Sapphire products have been consistently around 10,000 boxes the past year except for TC Sapphire, which has a checklist of over 700 subjects and is still at a modest 16,000 boxes. I don't think these will be over 15,000 boxes and just like TC Sapphire, will probably be EQL'ed.
