2024 GPK Battle of the Bands - Green Day - Page 2

Would it me more cost effective if you want autos or relics to wait for them on ebay.

Pretty steep prices with unknown odds.

How does that work? Page clearly states: "All sales are final. Art subject to change. Not responsible for typographical/printer errors."

You have 30 mins to cancel since the switch to Shopify. One of the few bright spots.

"Tribute to East Bay capturing the band’s roots"

I'm pretty excited about that specific insert set.

My username is "EastBayAk" and the East Bay refers to the eastern part of the SF Bay Area (where Green Day was formed). That's definitely an insert set to PC

The Accountant · 08-05-2025, 11:25 AM

hate the no odds. could regret not buying but doesn't seem like a good gamble. these niche releases usually do pretty well though

If you buy you can open for a chance at any specific auto or relic or if boxes go up you may be able to sell and buy the auto or relic you want with the proceeds

ATLOTP · 08-05-2025, 11:29 AM

I bought one box just for the moonshot of the triple auto. a nonsports grail

TimBuckTwo · 08-05-2025, 11:29 AM

Sold out again. Maybe the restock was clearing duplicate buyers.

Limit 2 per customer.

I think they likely made a good amount more of this than the standard GPK niche release but there is an absurd amount of people in this world who like Green Day so the demand is likely there even with a fairly high print run

Cases have been in stock this entire time for me until just now, showing as OOS

nephinfan · 08-05-2025, 11:35 AM

I went back and ordered a case to put away. Now I'll just open the boxes. Pulling that triple auto would be amazing!

I should've purchased 2 cases (1 to rip and 1 to put away).

I still have a case in my cart and hoping for a restock but it's been OOS for a minute. Wondering if I should just remove it and add some boxes (to rip) to the cart and go through with purchase. I'd much rather rip a case though (with loose boxes, it can work for/against you and I'm generally not as lucky as most haha).

TimBuckTwo · 08-05-2025, 11:40 AM

Will they restock case on the 27th? Or are preorders all they produce?

yoyosh · 08-05-2025, 11:41 AM

I’m gonna sit this one out and just stare at this guy:

Haha yeah man, this set is more than "just cards" to me. Can't remember the last time I felt this way about a product....if ever.

Maybe Topps will collab with the 2Pac estate?

After I purchased the 6 boxes, I had the same thought about 2 cases. You're absolutely right about loose boxes. I'm right up there with you on the luck factor with those. At first, I was really hesitant to buy as much as I ended up buying, but GD has been my favorite band since the very beginning, so I thought, "How often is something Green Day themed like this coming around again?", and I had to go for it.

PrinceVegeta · 08-05-2025, 11:48 AM

2 cases and ten boxes for me

I'll probably open it all, should be a good set for singles sales

TimBuckTwo · 08-05-2025, 11:53 AM

10 boxes for me. What the hell. Topps Ripped has more info on the set.

There are 1/1s.

25 Triple autos, 5 American Idiot triples.

Well I hope everyone does exceptionally well on this ... I'm starting to feel a little responsible for making this post lol and hope nobody gets bit by this one. I almost bought a few boxes twice but the memory of spending a few Gs on a product that is still in stock two+ years later kept me from pulling the trigger.
