Topps 582 Montgomery Club - Page 168

CardMarkets · 12-16-2019, 12:38 PM

I think y'all give Topps way too much credit to think they actually have a plan for when this stuff is going to go on sale. Some guy is sitting there at topps HQ drinking his paper-bagged malt brew and laughing at the fact that your destiny is momentarily in his hands, and then decides, I think i'll take a late lunch today.

Speaking of lunch, guess I'll put a few extra creams in my coffee for sustenance.

This may be true.

This is probably the most accurate thing said about the price yet

Shipping for the Montgomery club was a flat 10 bucks and that's for all the packages throughout the year. Shipping for any Topps Now or Topps on Demand product is a flat 10 bucks.

Shipping for any other product on the Topps site starts at like 45 to 50 and goes up from there.

So stupid

If I order even one blaster from Topps site. 45 to 50 bucks.

For sure it's not about the dimensions

I think when they price this stuff on the website, the website guy is uploading the pictures and prices and gets to the input for shipping to Canada... he asks the product guy, "What should I put in here for the shipping price to Canada? What does it cost us?"

The "hobby/retail products" guy replied to the email, "Oh, it's expensive... just google what it costs and put that in there. Maybe $40 or so? More for bigger items."

The OnDemand guy replied to that email, "I dunno, around $10. I'll check and let you know." (He never checks or responds again.)

Then the Montgomery guy replied, "Hmmm... I dunno. Just do whatever OnDemand uses."

Topps might be paying $8 to ship to Canada, or $80... no matter what they're charging. Management looks at the P&L at the end of every month and says, "We're killing it. Keep up the good work everyone!"

Wonder if Topps is monitoring the number of refreshes and deciding when to drop...

PumpnDumpling · 12-16-2019, 12:54 PM

Imagining the Topps IT Team (1 guy and an unpaid intern) is in full-on panic mode, scrambling to figure out how to exclude Draft sapphire from the percentage sale and or get the kinks ironed out for pre-sale launch......

Or they got their wires crossed again and its not actually coming out today...

Ya know, due to unforeseen circumstances

On another note is TOPPS ever going to sell out of the 2018 Brooklyn collection ? I purchased one initially a second with my renewal and two on the Holiday sale. You think I would learn but i'm a sucker for a sale.

Probably not until they clearance them. They are hideous cards.

Maybe they'll throw them in the Hudson like they did with the Mantles

Didnt notice that worked with the 40% off code.

I went and tried to order a couple and it didnt reflect discount so I canceled it

BabaORiley · 12-16-2019, 01:07 PM

They released Sapphire at 10:30AM and Bowman Heritage at Noon. Maybe 1:30?
