Ouch!
This makes me a singles buyer, instead of my typical choice for wax

I'll probably buy retail if i can find it in store. If not, I'll just by one Wander RC on the bay and be done.

Will be different story for Update Chrome...

Yes this is huge.... in the wrong direction

Any chance Topps puts them up on the website and then screws up the orders and cancels them yet still ships them out? More freebies like FF?

Its almost at the point where its less hassle to just throw the box unopened in the garbage.

D'oh wrong quote. I have a jumbo box I ordered long ago and even at normal prices seems way overpriced.

ThoseBackPages · 09-16-2022, 09:12 AM

now, october, november ... and they may be available in december if they are done printing them by then

Live 4 case break:

Just something about watching this get opened.

Topps tweeted Chrome will be available on Topps.com at 12 pm ET. Predictions on price?

$249 Hobby
$35 Blasters

If the early bird gets the worm, does a late bird get a steak dinner? Anyone jumping at this early and overpriced should feel ashamed at what they’re helping turn this hobby into.

Topps Fire is start to look interesting - at least you can get some hits

thewild3 · 09-16-2022, 09:28 AM

All breaks are looking like bloodbaths so far.

ElecDreamMachin · 09-16-2022, 09:30 AM

Outside of one order, all of my Target card orders have taken like two weeks to ship. Still faster than Topps though.

Yeah these are pretty brutal. Lots of base cards for me to pick up on ebay for nothing though!

Who could've called this? Im shocked!

With this checklist...if you are ripping a hobby box for anything over $125 (this week)...you're begging for someone kick you square in the nuts. HINT: next week...you're begging for a nut shot at $100 or more. YOU'RE A COMPLETE MORON if you expect anything differently.

No idea how the break is going overall, but when I check in for the first time and Houdini is taking a picture of high numbered Kole Calhoun and Josh Hader parallels it can't be good!

cruiserdaddy7 · 09-16-2022, 09:39 AM

Same thing every year. This product is never a good one. Not sure why people felt so strongly about it also knowing production numbers would be insane.

Only one person felt strong about it.

Because of all the good rookies in it.

If the boom was still on and chrome had all the base rookies you could sell them for $50 each and grade them and sell them for $500...

Now all you'll get is a $5 franco base card.

hermanotarjeta · 09-16-2022, 09:45 AM

I always admired how the baseball guys had the best discipline and intelligence approaching the hobby, for the most part.

The dumb football guys keep on buying into prizm for like $!800/box.

As a collector base, we can dictate what we wanna pay for our wax.

Hold strong, the prices will come down to us!

Julio and Witt are most likely redemptions...and not live? ZERO reason to stash sealed if this is the case.
