Topps Chrome Ben Baller Edition(?) - Page 17

Vinniebrasco · 08-28-2020, 01:31 PM

I actually like a lot of his cards, but to cash in on a quick $500 profit....Sell!

SaveMeTheGum · 08-28-2020, 01:32 PM

If Topps wants to make real money, they need to get an NBA license back...

not shaping up to be a "collectors" product

I'm a relatively average cardboard enthusiast, not a flipper or fashion collector - so I could care less about Ben Baller jewelry, shoes, or whatever - and I like the look of these.

There were only a few P2020 Baller cards I liked...most were "too much" for my liking. But these are more subtle and I'm expecting the color to be especially nice.

Just my view.

The platinum members get the enhanced customer service. MC has its perks but it's not CS.

But you're much more likely to get a favorable resolution like when members had their Finest Flashbacks orders mistakenly canceled. Same thing happened to some non-members and they were told sold out, apparently on the same day members had their orders reinstated. Coincidence? Sure...

If I won the lotto tomorrow well I know I wouldn't bother rippin' cuz it's not for me. I'd find the bounty, sell and do a spending spree!

I have a MC membership and I can't seem to purchase one for some reason. Everytime I try to add 1 to the cart it doesn't do anything and it give me the error sign saying that I can't buy more than 1..... WTH

Based on the hype for this, you're more likely to find a full load of Chronicles bball at the first Walmart you walk into.

Did you try a different browser or something? I'm not MC and can't even see the page, so it is recognizing you as a MC customer at least.

A box of Finest Flashbacks!

Read back a few pages but wasn't sure, has the raffle been released yet or is this still just for MC?

A Mickey Mantle card.

Someone on FB mentioned the raffle sign-up would be Monday and open for 48 hours. Unsure of how accurate that is but with it being Friday and 3pm Topps time, sounds right.

Totally agree. My Membership has gotten me exactly ZERO of the special access I was supposed to get. Nice to finally actually get something.

I remain convinced that there is not a single person on the planet with an actual Bowman Chrome X collection.

Full disclosure: I did make an offer a few weeks back on a Ramon Laureano Chrome X RC because I really liked the green and white on an A's card and like Laureano. I'm honestly relieved my offer was declined because I hated the rollout to that project more than any other single sports card release I can recall.
