16x Ohtani/Judge Dual Autograph Parallels
1x Ohtani Dynasty Black Autograph-Relic

I thought this too but as far as I can tell Fanatics double listed these two:

16x Dual Autograph Parallels
16x Ohtani/Judge Dual Autograph Parallels

Both are listed as card #50, so I think they are mistakenly double listed on the DESCRIPTION section

Motley Crue is going on tour this summer with Extreme and Tesla opening. I love all three bands, but have no desire to see Vince Meal get up on stage and not sing (his voice is absolute trash at this point...like really really bad and he has no business performing live). Still, I decided to check out the presale yesterday for Long Beach, CA. They have a pretty cool stage setup where theres two half rows centered, and a thrust that extends past the two rows and opens up into a small stage that extends out behind the two rows. Each of those two rows has about 12 seats on each side of the thrust(24 seats total).. I had put two of those seast in my cart yesterday at $398 a piece. I thought for five seconds(the seats are locked in your cart for like 8 minutes once you place them there) and then said to myself "do I really want to fork over $800 to see this crap?" The answer was no and I let the seats go.

30 minutes later I regreted it. By the end of the evening, seats in the first ten rows were listed as Platinum and for up to $1200. Mind you none as good as the ones I had (basically the best seats you could get).

And thats it for me....I don't instantly see the dollar signs. I avoid getting taken advantage of by being a cheapo beyond cheapo. But I also miss easily seen in retrospect opportunities. Sigh.

As a silver lining, $400 or $1,200, Vince Neal is still going to phone it in and be a disaster. You could go buy a nice turntable and a collection of MC LPs instead! Maybe you can even track down an old bottle of Motley Brue to sip while enjoying them! 😆

Hindsight is 20/20. You're not the first to miss out on an opportunity and you certainly won't be the last. Don't trip though, there's abundant opportunities out there.

Just remember:
- Scared money don't make money
- You gotta risk it for the biscuit

They’ve Ticketmaster’d sports cards.

I wonder if there will ever be a federal push for reduced fees, like Ticketmaster.

[Bob Ross]

Quite appalling that checklist and odds weren't released prior.

[hermanotarjeta]

Topps again left so much money on the table.

In a dutch auction, they could have set the floor at $5000 and still “sold out.”

Good catch - you're absolutely right. It is a duplicate.

That only mattered the first few in demand products from Topps with Shopify Basically any normal person had around a minute to place an order and it would legitimately say sold out after. Considering you could get an order in 10 seconds or less 1 minute was an eternity. Now you could be the fastest non bot to the checkout page and it means nothing. Product just goes in and out of stock for 20-45 minutes and whomever they deem the luckiest gets it. With the vast majority of course going to bot users.

Once the auctions start hopefully it's all products like this and more. With a high enough starting price bots will buy exactly or close to 0%.

Last time I saw Motley Crue was sometime in the late '90s. Vince's voice was terrible back then 25 years ago. I think he sung 1 out of every 4 words.

Problem is, instead of some people getting lucky and paying $2k, everyone is gonna end up paying a whole lot more.

Which is the lesser of each evil?

Hard to say.

I know Fanatics is tapped straight into the veins of the addicts, but even they couldn't move this at $5k per...I don't think...

Yeah, I was just shooting a random ridiculous number out there, but the point is, they could test the price at each $100 increment below $5k and watch the fish start to bite - first the breakers, then the big three and right before the box flipper bois feel there is enough meat on the bone, set the floor right there, so that the only ones making the profits are those that actually have the money - the breakers and the big three.

They make the most profit when they eliminate the middle men. Sure they may piss off some true hobbyists, but I don’t think they care about the little guy any ways. They will just tell them to join a fanatics break.

[KhalDrogo]

Was too busy at work to try, but I see it wouldn’t have mattered anyway.

A dual Judge/Ohtani auto would be a great add.

Guess I'll have to just wait and hop into a Fanatics Live 400 box break.

Don't do it! Just buy singles. Your wallet will thank you.

Right? The prices are ridiculously high already -- might as well sell them to the highest bidders. It's only a limited public drop -- the premium and in-demand stuff primarily gets sold to breakers, anyway.

This is the preeminent breaker product -- a high-end release, with a limited number of cards featuring the two best players of this era, commemorating their latest MVP wins.

Topps is only going to release a token amount to the general public -- practically no one is personally ripping this.

Yep, got the email.

I guess 4 months simply wasn't long enough to produce it and keep our money.
