Wax supply dwindling and prices uptrending! Probably gonna hit $600+ soon.

Anyone hit or see a lunar box yet?

Seeing where wax prices are going and sitting on a decent stash of loose boxes (most that I’ll eventually trim down on), decided to pull the trigger on a sealed case at $4150 shipped (actually had a deal to land one for $3800 a few days back but it sold overnight via seller’s eBay account before payment was made).

Figured I could eventually move 8 loose boxes and net around the same price as the sealed case price so it’s be like trading in loose boxes for a sealed case at no additional cost.

everyone's favorite breaker, FilthBomb, posted a lunar box break the other day. I believe it is their 3rd according to their post about it. landed around $5,000 in cards in total

I wonder why they are black and white -- goes against the colorful imagery of the rest of the set. It would have been a better fit for Black & White.

This is true of cards of veterans -- it's how I PC. But with prospects and rookie cards, a lot of parallels get treated more valuably -- even with designs that are tacky.

I saw somewhere that there's less than 150 of these "Lunar Boxes"

100% of the time, they just randomly get these awesome hits/boxes?

Crazy, only 1 week later and it’s already past $600, nearing $700+.

Wax supply continues to dwindle down.

So is it just a regular box with different packs inside?

Each pack in a lunar box has a lunar eclipse /10 parallel in it.

You timed that case purchase impeccably. I tried buying one only 24 hours later than you and I couldn’t touch one within $600 of what you spent. I had decided to pass which was an error. Lol

Right, but the outer box is just like a regular box? Theres no way to tell until you open the packs?

A guy from my LCS got a Lunar box yesterday. The highlights:

Shohei Ohtani Stars in the Night #/10
Shohei Ohtani/Mookie Betts Star Clusters #/10
Hyeseong Kim RC #/10
Fernando Tatis Jr. Stars in the Night #/10
Bobby Witt Jr. #/10
Matt Shaw Stella Nova #/10
Elly De La Cruz Extraterrestrial #/10
Luke Keaschall RC #/10
Marcello Mayer Ultraviolet Beam #/10

Clayton Kershaw Gold #/50
Mike Trout Stars in the Night
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Sun

Insane box...

I can’t believe how strong the sales are on Ohtani still. Some of this has to be shilling, right?

I got lucky with that one but still wish I landed the $3800 shipped one. Would’ve resulted in 3 extra 2026 TC Olympics boxes to rip.

The outer box is the same. I believe the packs are a different color. Pretty sure they were red last year, not sure about this one.

[Funkster]

I believe the ones ive seen the packs actually lunar on them

Correct. Orange-ish in color and says "lunar" on them.

Damn. Big time fail. I won the Fanatics drop for 8 boxes. Didn’t realize 8 boxes are a case this year and they shipped the sealed case to me without an outer box. Opened it up like a fool.

I'll take it if you don't want it.

If I've learned anything in this hobby, it's do not underestimate Ohtani. Lol

Bought and broke a box from an LCS today. Only one card worth mentioning
