Hard to value that with so few padparadscha sold, but I paid $1,500 for the Ricciardo "base". I'd say around $2.5-3k, but you'll get some lowballs since it's a car card.

You nailed this valuation man, impressive!

out of boredom, and wanting to open something, i opened my lone box, got 5 parallels

no exciting base

Some huge, huge cards hit in Buffi's F1 Sapphire Group Break. It took awhile to fill but it eventually did. I'll let the video he posted do the talking. Round 1 and Round 4 were the biggest hits of the break.

Yes, the Purple and Base were. The variation was a separate spot on the checklist that went to another member. Thank you. Pretty exciting, I just got into F1 and probably taking a trip tp Texas later this year.

Nice man, I see that these are a tough grade for the few that have been submitted overall. The Golds look really good design wise.

What do you think got it a 7?

[Buffaloben]

I'm in some Facebook groups... guys have noticed almost all of the low numbered Sapphires have a similar defect on a back edge. I've seen it in regular chromes too. Looks like a baby tooth mark. Check out the pic.

I pulled a /25 Lando. Same defect.

Sadly - not sure you're going to see many low numbered F1s that pull a 9 or 10.

What’s the name of the Facebook groups? I’ve been trying to find some that are mainly formula 1 cards but haven’t seen any.

There's 2 that I'm in.
USA Topps Chrome F1 (Buy/Sell/Trade)
F1 Formula One Trading Card Collector (mostly outside the US).

Did distributors have access to these boxes? Just watched a sealed case being broke on youtube. I thought they where only sold 1 box per.

Yeah apparently sealed cases were very “limited”, as advertised by someone selling on one of the Facebook groups mentioned above. Not sure how Topps advertises something as online exclusive with 1 per limit but then also sell cases to distributors but we’ve already seen this year’s UEFA sapphire being backdoored so maybe we shouldn’t be that surprised.

No clue what to do with a 1/1 Deletraz. No real way to come something like that so I threw it on eBay for a ridiculous price and hope some people will throw offers.

Is anyone else still waiting on an order from Topps UK.

I checked the tracking, and it's showing that it's 'leaving the UK' on May 11th. Nothing since.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I got through on 2 orders and got the 1st one, but my other is stuck in Origin Post is Preparing Shipment on the USPS page. Not really sure what to do about it either.

This is what they do with many distributors. 2020 Finest Flashback Baseball was the same. Full cases went to the big dogs.

[Bruin7]

I could be wrong but I believe the Big Players show up with cash at Topps for the insane amount of Sapphire boxes they’ve been able to acquire. Similar to Panini.

I sent an e-mail with the order number and tracking number. I'm expecting a response in the next 1 to 39 weeks.

Pretty much in the same boat. Royal Mail seems to be where mine was likely lost and reaching out to them seems impossible unless you're the shipper. I'll hold out hope for a while before I boot up the PayPal dispute, but Topps unwillingness to respond to emails or answer a phone is pretty frustrating.
