Highlights from 9 boxes and 7 value packs...sorry for the enormous picture.

I scored my only bunch of Bowman Megas on a Tuesday, so hoping for same karma.
Good luck!

Found a 16 box case, 12 loose boxes and 12 value packs! Not opening any of them.

For spite? For resale?

I'll probably resell the 12 and 12 and hold the case.

duce22 · 10-30-2018, 08:04 AM

This AM - 32 boxes , 18 racks. Just took the racks which was my stance for regular chrome this year.

I don't see a ton of profit on these short-term or long-term but I am by no means an expert. I guess if you look at 2014 Topps Chrome Update Megas and what the Mookie RC has done, these could go up big down the line. Good luck.

I don't see a lot of movement of boxes on the bay, but if some of these cards don't start showing up I bet these boxes will increase in value. I chose to rip all of mine.

Bl3rf · 10-30-2018, 10:38 AM

Value is already dropping on them. I have had them posted for 5 days already... most havent even gotten them. Anyone who will pay a bit for the RCs, already has.

Autos may be worth chasing.... but I wouldn't hold on to these like they are going to hold value in the long run. People will eventually get their hands on packs and wont need anymore.... I opened about 15 boxes, there are not that many to the set and no inserts besides international affair

Agreed. I regret opening. I didn't do horrible, and might come close to breaking even. But that's only because I'm getting early sales.

I am in the same boat. I will break even, maybe a tiny profit, but that's it. I was hoping for a Soto auto, but didn't do horrible. Wish the set was better, lol

The majority of people breaking are losing money. It was just too watered down.

daviswr7 · 10-30-2018, 10:53 AM

Very watered down. How big was the print run? 15,000 cases? If so that’s soooo much product. Those holding will need to be okay holding for years. Just my opinion. Def not Bowman mega boxes circa 2017!!

LVDan · 10-30-2018, 11:19 AM

Even with the huge jump in production Topps blew this one pretty bad IMO.
- Whited out space for hard autos only to slap a sticker on later
- Really weak auto checklist with some decent late season ommisions(O'niell, Franmil, etc) Zack Cosart???
- Wth is the RA Rookie Autograph subset?? 3 bums?
- not sure but probably all kinds of missing auto colors for certain players

It is nice that they did the value packs I guess but pretty much bummed in the way this was put together overall. Couldn't find any over the weekend and knowing what we know now probably aren't worth the effort anyway.

psd2k10 · 10-30-2018, 11:26 AM

all the talk about this product being watered down, no money to be made, low sales, all of this talk is just really disappointing. I mean do collectors still even exist?? it seems most on here just buy this stuff to turn around and sell. is any of this stuff actually going to anyones pc? Im a collector and im hoping to buy everything i find. i have a $1200 budget so as soon as i hit this number, im done. most of what i pull i will keep for my pc long term. i dont buy to just turn around and flip i buy because im a collector and i enjoy the hobby and i enjoy ripping packs/boxes. im ok with spending $1200 because it's disposable income and it's to have fun. im sure it's a lot less fun to simply buy this stuff just to want to flip and make a profit.

Any Twins I pull is put aside, got Romeros RC, Littell.... but I try and sell the others.

Congrats to you for having that much disposable income. And I don't mean that in a sarcastic way. I'm jealous. But most folks can't afford to spend $1,200 or whatever on something that retains minimal value. I mean, a PC is great but you really need $1,200 of retail for your PC? Either way, good luck.

I'm with you. Flippers suck the life out of our hobby.
