Main reason I signed up for this forum was to talk with other Monty members. Now its like we just gave Topps $150 or whatever we paid for zero reason.

One was a topps now order. The “your item has shipped” email arrived AFTER the package arrived.

The easy test is to ask yourself is it a sports card product that was for sale at some time some place. If the answer to that is yes, then it wasn't a MC product.

The membership has become a joke. My sons and I were members the first three years and it was great. Then they removed all of our memberships despite longs hours on the phone and emails telling me exactly how I needed to structure my accounts going to the same address. (We all live here, so that seemed obvious, and customer service clearly showed me how to set up my accounts to eliminate the hassle of saying I was over my allotment.) After all that work at the beginning of 2022 I figured I was good. They cancelled them all this time, and I tried to contact Topps to fix it, but I just don't care anymore. I guess Topps stupidity was a blessing in disguise this time.

This happened to me and my son as well and I view it as a blessing also.😂

I still can't believe this isn't a hoax. Looks like Topps is considering wax buyers (at least for limited products) middlemen. Thus, they must be gouged or passed over for the chosen elite breakers/dealers.

What exactly did our membership get us this year?

Not a single pre-release yet.

Wouldve been a sick way to make the membership legit. Offer members a set price and regular buyers stuck with this dutch bs

They'll probably botch one of these "early access" deals and/or do a Dutch Auction for 582 members (with an elevated floor price) LOL.

Did they actually specify all that when you signed up? It doesn't look like you're going to get any of that.

Yes, it was all specified at sign up. There's still six months left in the year, why is everyone up in arms about this?

Because now there is doubt that any of this will be reasonably priced along with the odds they use a Dutch auction with a high floor for all of it.

Oh wait that's Bowman Chrome Sapphire not Bowman Sapphire. You would think the first thing Fanatics would have done was clean up the Bowman naming convention.
