I think Sapphire will be $899 per box. Any cheaper wouldn’t make sense given what hobby has done. Sold my Jumbo box last night for 2k. It’ll probably go up a bit more but whatever.
Topps will just be giving money away if sapphire is a single penny less than $1999.

I have stopped ripping and went the singles way. I did hit a cooler refractor and 3 base from my hanger rips. I have just been grabbing stuff.

Pulsar inserts, estimates of 65 each
Edgecombe Activator
Edgecombe Go Time
Flagg ball of duty ($177.77 my exact high bid snipe at 54 seconds

Youthquake refractors
2 Flagg
4 Edgecombe
4 Harper
3 Kon
1 Ace

Got 174 in from Topps and fanatics today. Boy was it fun breaking 23 boxes down

Opened 0.

38 more coming from target. Hoping to find more in wild, but not expecting it!

Also got a sealed blaster case of 40 in from fanatics as well. Assuming if you order 40 blasters or 20 megas they’ll come as sealed cases.

Are you planning on ripping these or flipping them? 174 is an incredible amount. You should do a 174 box player break

Probably holding the majority of them. Getting a heavy duty box from Lowe’s and putting them away in storage so I don’t tempt myself

Don't understand the fascination with losing $100 bills on those? All the breaks I've seen look like any other mega which is rough.

At $6 per random team per mega, these can go to $150 easily.

There are no limits to compulsive degenerate breaking.

With hangers sold out, people had to pump something else.

remember some vapor barriers and desiccants! And don't store in basements or near water sources.

Opened another 2 hangers last night, this was the best card



The rest probably stay sealed.

Why would people group break retail products. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I get Hobby (maybe). But retail? People need to get off their lazy asses and buy a hanger or blaster box lol. Don't keep giving Fanatics/Topps/etc excuses to raise retail prices for the group breakers to fractionalize. Although that probably already happened.
