I think you’ll be ok if you run a bit late with this one…

[Slvnumber2]

Prices are definitely up there, and this is one of the few products I will grab each year to break and resell. I can take the singles and autos and move them at my local show as well as local card shop. We usually save them for Christmas morning and rip it as a family.

[MattKC]

A little bit heartening that none have sold out after 15 minutes...maybe pushed too far on this one price wise. I'm sure they will eventually sell though....gamblers gonna gamble.

I was ready to buy 4 cases today and think I will pass completely. Autos will be on ebay at far less then $100 day after release.

Absolutely the right choice.

[Bosoxfan5990]

I can imagine the only folks who are buying this in bulk (more than a couple cases) are breakers. That's it.

[RainCityShecks]

Wow! The prices on this stuff.....have the tariffs been implemented already??

[aletruk]

every year I say I'm gonna buy a case and I don't and regret it. this year I was more disciplined not buying a lot to save up for Draft. And I'm still a no. I just can't see how to even come close to breaking even with a price like this. And I'm a Cleveland guy.

This has been the case more or less for a while.

I was told that breakers were not the reason prices keep increasing though? Regular people were buying boxes upon boxes and cases upon cases of this stuff and ripping it?

$380 preorder. They're $500ish most places right now.

I'm sure the usual folks will come by to give their opinions and take over this thread.

Too true.

[prospectorgems]

I thought Fanatics said that they were going to make products more affordable for the consumers when they took over and not price gouge....maybe I made that up in my head.

[jcfill]

Gasped at these prices sheesh

Thanks! So its all ridiculous pricing. I didn't get any TCU and I think they sold out in minutes anyways. But $500 ish for 3 autos of TCU and $520 for the 3 autos out of Draft is all crazy. I understand that you have the possibility to get a MLBer with value out of TCU but you can also hit the next Bobby, Julio or Skenes out of Draft. It's all a pricey gamble. And actually the auto list in TCU is a hell of a lot larger than Draft with 145 vs 97.

Regardless I bought 1 Super cause I'm a fan of Draft. I'm out on TCU though. Got my fill out of Regular Update.

I'm late to the party. Figured I had missed the boat. Then I saw the prices and realized that the boat is still at the dock and no one else has boarded either. I must stay ashore.

You have to be sick in the head to open a personal box of this stuff

That or very wealthy

[sandyfrank]

Could not pull the trigger, hopefully the price comes down later.

Well if you don't dedicate every penny to every release Topps puts out there and are selective on what you purchase, you can easily afford this. But to each their own.
