Only when people stop buying that 100/box *supply* will the *demand* go down and get things back on track. In general we constantly complain about it but still feed the beast.

They will say they bought it from secondary market. but we all know what is going on

It sucks but i really dont blame them.. this stopped being a hobby long ago

I kinda hope Topps spits out a product in 2018 that is a complete disaster and the distributors take a bath. They had a very good 2017 and it seems like they're just getting greedy.

Selling out exclusive versions of hot products like Prizm with very small print runs isn't comparable. If Panini tried to sell their mainstream stuff with large print runs at MSRP publicly only through their website they would go broke in a hurry.

I should be able to buy my car from the manufacturer, and my clothes, and my food, and my furniture, etc.

Just because you want to pay less doesn't mean a business should vanish. If everyone could buy what they want, when they want, you'd see the "innocene of the early 80s" return along with the interest of the early 80s, which was a bunch of us geeks buying cards and getting laughed at by our friends.

I'd say Hangers....if you are buying from a retail store, blasters....everything else is probably searched...

they've been ~1 per hobby box since 2013, so odds are fine.
Too many breakers open it now, flooding the market, lowering the FMV

If prices were equal I would go with the blasters, chance for a purple refractor hot box. I'm not sure but I think they run 1 per blaster case.

thanks for the information so throwbacks are across the board in all types of retail?

i am mainly buying for some extra shortprints and base for sets but would be nice to have a shot at something i am leaning towards a blaster case

[ThoseBackPages]

Nera, if you can hook-up with a Target Exclusive case (Hangers or Blasters) you're golden

hanger cases are a little pricey would just get hobby if i was gonna go with that blaster is sounding like the winner based on what i can get

[cj828282]

Little price increase today. How high will this go before 2/28? $944 already seems too high.

[ThoseBackPages]

it's too damn high!

Throwbacks are included but really, really tough to find in retail. I pulled a 1:3,310 Joe Mauer Throwback from 2015 retail packs.

The price will go even higher once we get closer to release and if there is a good auto checklist.

[Djn408]

Anyone know own when the full checklist will be released?

One week prior to product release unless Topps decides to change the way they do it this year.

Watch, I'll figure out a source for Target Exclusives this year and Wal-mart will get the hot exclusive!
