BUC commands a heavy toll for its adherents. Rest easy brothers, Sapphire will keep and cost effective singles will be aplenty for those with patience.

I love how the guy on eBay hits a Williams orange, Nico Selections orange, etc. I'm not a conspiracy guy, but you could convince me that this was planned.

Sapphire, much like BUC this year, is not a good product.

I feel like I am reading the odds sheet wrong. Are there Mega and Blaster boxes of Sapphire this year? I can't imagine so..

Got 2 boxes. Really nice to be able to get sapphire product (finally) this year. Wasn’t able to get any baseball due to insta sellouts. I’m wondering if Topps changed something so this didn’t sell out in mere seconds.

Does anyone know; were you able to buy previously without logging into an account if using PayPal or a non CC payment? I did notice it said *must be logged in to purchase* this time. If that prevented the bot spam buying I’m very thankful!!

Very fast sellout. Fairly reasonably priced box for sapphire in today’s market - so not totally surprised.

Good opportunity for rippers. With 24 Hobby barely selling above presell (and at about 1/3 the price of 23 Hobby) flippers not terribly attracted to Sapphire.

Highlights from a case of Sapphire. I haven't done the math but it seems to me that, dollar for dollar, you just don't get many autos from this product (1 per box or 10 per case).

I think the 3 parallels here line up with team colors quite nicely.
