No problem man! For as much as you rip (and share), you deserve such a result.

Always fun to rip a good box and celebrate with other hobbyists too. Haha yeah I bet, that first box was rough. That Flagg auto redemption is worth 4 jumbo boxes, massive W.



Congrats man! On-card and chrome? Regardless, sweet hit!



Buffalo is good. Any of the big 3 are.

I’ve also split up product shipments (when it made sense) to get more credit per dollar (but I also buy from them periodically).

For instance, hypothetical scenario below, one package costs me $40 to ship and I only get $25. I’ve split into 2 shipments that cost $25 per (to ship) to get $50 back. Spend an extra $10 to get $25 back in credit.

Something to consider in the future if ever beneficial to you.

They only give one code per day now tho so you’d have to space out shipments or do different methods.

Good to know about splitting up. I’m bumping up against the 7 business day deadline for getting my order to them since I did my sell order on Wednesday when I got the drop confirmation before fanatics even shipped so just wanted to make sure to get them to them in time. Doesn’t look like they are buying hobby’s anymore for now. At least not on the list.

No, it wasn't either lol! It was a paper stock sticker auto but /50 and unexpected. I thought it was going to be a regular reptilian card.
Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up, didn't know that and certainly glad that I do.

No problem! Good move keeping the sell order instead of cancelling (they usually don't mind if it's 1-2 days late).

Got it. You could always sell it and put the proceeds into an on-card chrome auto of him. Additionally, you can sell it and pick up a PC card(s). NBA prospects are less risky than MLB prospects (skills translate better to the professional setting for the former) too. I don't follow collegiate basketball so I don't know how good he actually is. Regardless, congrats!

At least they were up for about half a day. Everyone that wanted some had time to do so.

Appreciate the heads up J1L!

Yeah, definitely enough time for those who knew about it to decide if they wanted to buy some.

I had some difficulty locating the item on Amazon so I needed additional help from J1L (another shout out to the GOAT haha)!

[Chris P]

I thought about getting more but I already have 16 coming from Fanatics so I think that's enough for me

So uhh blasters treated me pretty well.. can’t wait to rip the megas.

My jumbo had a speckle Caleb Wilson auto as well but the blaster was clearly the winner.

Beautiful!

[eastbayak]

6 more blasters showed up today.

Nothing crazy but still a fun rip.

2 numbered autos, 2 non-auto numbered cards, an AJ reptilian and a couple decent rookie/prospect cards.

Hit 2 autos too.

[thisisntsteve]

Megas are back up on Amazon for those interested.

Edit: Now they’re gone again.

Bro, I just saw your TC Cosmic break and wrote "With the run you're having, need to do another 2025-26 Topps BKB product (not Cosmic or Bowman) as a heat check LOL."

Then you share this LOL.

The conclusion is simple: You need to buy out all the 2025-26 Topps BKB sealed wax in your area because Topps sent all the loaded boxes there!

Seriously though, congratulations. Literally crushed it back-to-back-to-back. Definitely calls for another heat check!!

I work in women's sports so I know/have covered a lot of them through the prep ranks and college. I just enjoy collecting the players that I know.

I agree with you. Lots of talent in the ladies ranks.

I love watching Madison Booker, Hannah H, juju, and so many others. Great to see them getting recognized for their ability to play!
