Threw my hat in the ring for 5 boxes from the EQL. Hoping I win so I can make a quick few hundred bucks.

Also, super cool to see that cases weren't even an option.

Straight to breakers, BO, DA.

Is it me or are they allowing fewer and fewer boxes of premium products to the general public? Also, does this mean that the only way to win is to ask for the max amount? I’m super disgusted right now.

I won 5 boxes as well. I'm surprised, as I'm now 1 for 12 on EQL.

Correct. It's like this for every product they put up on EQL. Been like this since the beginning of them using EQL. See below.

What Fanatics uses when they want 99% of the production run to go directly to breakers, thats what. A scam.

Is this the TOTAL # of "winners" or just those that post on that discord?

Just those on the Discord. However, as I said in the other EQL threads, it's still a great indication of how much Fanatics allocated to the EQL overall. And 25 winners in the Discord is crazy low on a product with a print run of 10k-ish boxes. Especially when cases weren't even an option - at no point during the Montgomery Club early release and today's EQL were cases available to the public to purchase direct from Fanatics. All sent directly to big dealers like BO, DA, breakers.

Sorry for beating a dead horse on EQL constantly. But everyone needs to realize how corrupt Fanatics is on the EQL products.

I think most people agree.

The EQL situation is dumb and the way Fanatics goes about distributing products like this to everyone but the average consumer is crazy. With that being said, I’m guessing with the smaller base set checklist and the extremely short auto checklist, the sealed box price will only rise from here right? I don’t think Topps pumped up the print run on this one.

All of their Sapphire products have been roughly the same production run for a while, with maybe a few exceptions like those VeeFriend Sapphire boxes.

Smaller set, smaller auto checklist, Kurtz and Ohtani autographs. Yes, boxes will go up. Last years is around $850 a box and I would MUCH rather have this smaller checklist.

I knew I’d end up ripping mine. Two reds, a gold, a Skubal variation, and an Ohtani parallel make this a strong box IMO even if some of the other names aren’t great. I really like the Abram’s, but a 28-year-old rookie is just a bummer, even if it is a red. Still, I’m not mad at myself for ripping this.

It certainly looks like a solid box. Could have been worse.
