My pre-order from Target hasn’t moved past label created phase

That picture is great. Also might be the most centered card I’ve seen yet.

I like that picture as well. That pic would make me happy to get that card when I otherwise wouldn’t care.

Would you go Stadium Club Hobby, if they are selling for $100? Or something else?
To me it would depend on what he likes to look at or open.

I say use that money to buy a nice looking set or two, put them in a decent binder and maybe get a couple blasters

Agree - this is a great choice - and the only way Topps has access is if the photographer thinks it's good enough to turn in (it is).

If every card in the set were the goofiest possible face of each subject, that would be absurd. But when they have a chance on a handful of players to use something... different ... they absolutely should.

No I'm not in Texas. Just saying that some people have these in hand from Texas. Although I did see another ebay listing from someone in PA. But that could've been from their preorder delivery.

My two Target megas are arriving today. Quite the bummer to read the (completely justified) lukewarm reception

the boxes are probably sitting in the back of most targets, it’s a function of when the vendor stops by this week to stock each store.

Thanks! I dropped by the NYC store today… wasn’t enjoying the selection… I think a jersey might be in store, instead

Love that Fanatics mocked on card autos when they’re all stickers.

Got my orders from target, opened 1, think that might be all I open if this is any indication on the quality.

Only had 9 pack, 3 packs had 2 cards, 1 pack with 3 cards.
Julio and Wander debuts, and a Adam Oller auto.
