You cannot eliminate distributors. Those are locked in loyal customers that have way more funds and have to purchase much more volume than a regular end user to attain higher end product.

Pipe dream.

I guess all of us will have to finally say #@#@#@#@ you and pick up new hobbies until pannini at least uses lube before they f.......

Yup distribution center would be the first to know.

I got a case for 4400 and instantly regret it. I'll be selling it for sure. What do you guys think cases will sell for on release date..??

What's to regret? They're $4800 on D&A right now!

[Miz]

Just feel like this panini high end #@#@#@#@ is completely absurd and I'm just disillusioned at the whole thing. Distributors jerk us, breakers kill the local hobby shops, ebay is more shady then the south side of Chicago, and panini wont invest in tech to adequately deal with the demand for its products. In the end its us, card collectors, (who are about as loyal customers as it gets) that get screwed over. I just looked at it and thought there is a less then 5 percent chance you get half your money back on this. #@#@#@#@ing shameful really

If I bought a case at $4k+, I’m holding on to it. Provided one superstar comes out of this class, you will do just fine in the long run (assuming that one player isn’t a redemption).

There's more long term star power in this years rookie class compared to last year. Don't think it's a bad idea to hold it you got in early

Doubt it. Last few fotl releases have been the day before. I have a feeling this is going to be the new normal heading forward

I kind of like it though. Minimizes the amount of people who employ others to help them secure products and reduces traffic. Fotl sells out now no matter what, so no use in announcing it a week or two in advance

[Miz]

Yeah that's true

Product pushed back to the 26th, I assume we’ll hear about FOTL on the 16th and it’ll get released on the 17th

[Miz]

Yeah who knows at this point. What you guys think BOs bounty will be

1,500 to start then upped to probably around 2,000 or more

The preview Panini had on the Ayton cards makes me think the RPA's this year will look amazing. I can't wait for this release.

Does Blowout buy sealed FOTL boxes from users here? If so how do you sell them to them?

Nobody's selling FOTL to BO at 1500 when Hobby is at 1200. I wouldn't be surprised if they open at something like $2200. With the guaranteed rpa, these are worth at least half of hobby case price IMO.

Last years FOTL is at $3500/box at the moment
