first 21 cards would of cost you around 110 dollars...

Those 21 cards are somewhere in the 1000-1500 range resale on ebay

Hard to tell with so much movement....

Low-to-mid hundreds

Wow

And here I am thinking that I scooped up my Aaron Judge cards and that was it.

Guess I will try to join the madness.

Any way to tell who will sell for high when released? Are RC logo ones more sought after?

Welcome aboard the spaceship! Feel free to check out the price tracker in the first post. I try to update it every morning with the most recent selling prices. It’s a good baseline for what we’ve been seeing with these cards.

In general if you are jumping in now to flip, I would still proceed with caution as we have no idea where the ceiling is with this set. We think that Acuna has the potential to print significantly more than Ohtani and because of this it is assumed that the other two players in the weekly set (“scrubs” as we’ve so eloquently defined them lol) will also see a significant PR increase.

The real money has been made in the SPs from the first few weeks. However, since Acuna will likely print a metric ton, I expect all previous cards to get a bump because they will all have a lower PR than Acuna. I believe that each time a star is released that has a lot of hype surrounding him, PRs will continue to rise thus making all past cards appear SPd when at the time, they weren’t necessarily. This is all uncharted territory though lol. To prepare yourself go grab a beer and watch Wolf of Wall Street and you should be all set

Would not even know where to start on this insanity.... first 3 weeks print runs were low... people got in late and now have to pay for it...

i think this week might cap every thing moving forward just a bit.... meaning sets will go from 14.99 to 30 instead of 14.99 to 150-300

i think acuna print run will be 25-30k and the 2 commons will be over 6000

which are both much higher then first 3-4-5 weeks..

seems like value is running on print run for commons...

acuna ends in 16 hours... if your going to grab him i would do so now for 5-7.99

instead of waiting a week when they are 20.. only thing that will keep price down is his massive print run

KB81 · 05-01-2018, 08:45 PM

I ordered just my normal 10 quantity from Topps for Acuna when I buy from them in Topps Now and Living Set. Really no need to order more than 10.

Are we really sure, that outside of these boards, there will be more hype for Acuna than Ohtani? 25k-30k for Acuna when Ohtani was 21K and the other 2 cards were a shade under 4K? I guess the bigger question is will more people continue to buy sets vs the star cards in bulk. I could see Acuna doing 25K but the other 2 cards being 4500 print run.

I see the 2000-3000 sold of just Acuna on eBay. It won't surprise me if he outsells Ohtani but still not sure how that changes Olson and Ramirez Print Run.

I have no clue what we will get..

But commons are going up every week...

I would love to see commons stay at 4500

but i think we will see 5000-5500 maybe 6000

but common prices will not go up like first few weeks because of high runs

then people will buy less and they will come back to 3000-4000

Will that take 3 weeks or 3 months? no clue

Then cycle of what is sp will go round and round.. should be fun

true. I just don't see the incentive for most people to buy the set. I can definitely see people finding their way to the Topps site to buy Acuna, Harper, Ohtani, Bryant, Devers, Cobb, Ruth etc but buying sets will only be fueled by people like us on these boards. Reminds me of eTopps for sure. The star cards will be cheap and the "others" will be the chase. It will continue to be fun for sure.

Jake should start his own rewards points

He should sell for $3.75 if you buy more than 10.. then he can say he can beat Topps' price
