Man, I can only imagine how many more angry and "I'm quitting the hobby" posts we'll see.

Yeah, it's crazy when a product that has been readily available for 20-40% of current costs (for past years) is not readily available at a 2.5-5x mark-up.

Because I'm one of the rare people who likes the 1976 design just as much, if not more, than the 1975 design.

Haha yeah, if anything, the latter will just be priced higher.

How is this post or opinion about politics… since “everything is?”

Baseball has been VERY cheap in comparison to Football and Basketball. When those licenses officially come over and their is unity amongst releases watch out. I said it months ago and I'll say it again. Prices are cheap right now for what they will be down the road. The complainers have seen nothing yet.

I am talking about Hobby Boxes

Since we’re a week out, shouldn’t a checklist be dropping today?

Would be nice! I think best hope is getting it a day or two before.

Kind of like a pre-order from Topps that never happened either, it will probably happen the day before.

Predicting: $100 on Topps release, cases will “sell out” immediately and hobby not long after.

cruiserdaddy7 · 03-19-2025, 05:26 PM

Got 2 boxes at 99.95 and a case at 1199 from Fanatics rep today. I'd guess prices will be same on Topps site. That said, I was told all they got in total were 100 boxes and 15 cases. Much shorter than prior years.

You’re higher on the pecking order than me. I only got offered boxes.

It was a raffle type entry system. I did hit some special tier last November and got a gift for it. I usually lose the raffles since the odds are long so I was happy to get a win.

Gifts and raffles? My friend you are on a whole other level. I just get told what’s available take it or leave it. I’m happy for you getting that case tho. Excellent win.

Stech36 · 03-19-2025, 05:57 PM

I was in the raffle for a case too. No luck

I've lost many in a row, the odds were about 1 in 3 today. I'm excited for this product!

PoPCulture · 03-19-2025, 06:46 PM

A lottery for Heritage…Who would have thunk it?

It’s absolutely shameful what Fanatics has done with Topps.

BayAreaChris · 03-19-2025, 06:47 PM

More importantly the price was $100 per box so if history carries forward, that should be the price on Fanatics and Topps.

BayAreaChris · 03-19-2025, 06:48 PM

I was only offered the case raffle. No boxes.

I'm guessing it's hit or miss who is offered what and when. Some products I've been told are on the horizon and then I never hear a word.

eastbayak · 03-19-2025, 10:28 PM

Congrats cruiser!! I wasn't offered anything so I'm clearly not buying enough through my rep (then again, I'm not really being offered anything worth purchasing but maybe I should start buying whatever crap they throw at me to get access to the better stuff down the road).

Honestly some of the stuff I've bought I kick myself for. Some you can get on the Fanatics site, use gift cards(think fuel points and cc rewards), and get the 1% Fancash. So the reps aren't all good.

One thing I've noticed is that the reps have had much less product to offer recently. I'm not sure why Topps doesn't utilize this as a way to go direct to consumer instead of using the big 3 at lower margins.

My rep said I could have three boxes at $100 each and was in on the raffle. No email confirmation on either yet so who knows what I got.

Raffle results came in around 230 pm eastern. I got both my receipts/invoices yesterday.

Dukefett · 03-20-2025, 09:29 AM

I'm just catching up a bit, with all the talk about scarcity, are we not expecting at retail boxes at Target/Walmart?
