ePack and a new Blind Bag issue

VinnyH · 07-04-2025, 11:24 AM

Sadly, I think this is to grab the gamblers if they start doing this more. The Batman #1 Blind Bag is $10.49 and, imho, a random foil variant isn't gonna cost much more in the aftermarket.
I see this in sportscard products the last few years, especially the online Topps Now issues. Buy a ton of this sportscard and maybe, just maybe, you'll get an auto or a parallel.
Buyer beware,
Vinny

Yeah… price point on this one $10+ is prohibitive. Battle Beast Blind Bag was half the price. Also this is a preorder which means you can’t trade right away, whereas the BattleBeast was tradable after buying.

Also the concept of slabbing a poly bag that you will have to send home and open up … twice! … to see what cover you get is kind of weird.

Sounds like a way to get rid of excess copies of variants, and also save time on the scanning/uploading side.

Last day for these is today. And I hope the blind bag says Blind Bag and cover looks exactly like photo..,

$10 is still steep though!

Are these (blind bags) exclusive to CF or will these be available on stands?

The 3 that popped up so far aren’t CF exclusive.

DC-KO is now up on ePack as a blind bag. I think I will pass on it though. I will do the Batman/Deadpool blind bag if/when it hits though.

I will say that being older than many here I just can’t justify sticker autos. Give me a nice on-card auto and I feel that little connection to the signer.
