You're seeing presale prices in the $150 range for fat pack boxes? That would be a hard pass for me. I love Chronicles, but I don't love it that much.

Why do you guys love the fat packs over the blasters? Just curious because I haven't ever pulled anything great from fat packs.

Sealed fat pack boxes are a rarity in comparison. Blaster will be the most common find, besides maybe hanger boxes.

Ahh. Just pre-ordered a case of fat packs for $864 ($72 box). Ordered a few cases of blasters earlier. I love Chronicles.

Have no idea where you would pre-order that. I've looked and looked and can't find it via search...

Waiting 3 months for them to be delivered but its a bargain unless the market crashes before then. even with basketball winding down, these will be going strong.

Grabbed a blaster case above retail. $500 for a blaster case doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Between that and my $1,200 in Mosaic retail coming in, I'm pretty set for the year.

$500 will end up being a steal imo. Just have to hold up your money for 3 months.

The blasters might possibly be one of my favorite products to open. Bought a few just to rip, even at above MSRP.

Or more. They've had my Optic money since 10/29. Doesn't seem like it'll come through but they're making everyone hold out hope

They never shipped your Optic order? Any reason why?

This doesn't make me feel comfortable. Made a handful of orders with them and will be waiting for months.

Fat packs are also the only place to pull the numbered bronze parallels, if I remember correctly.

If there is no standalone Cornerstones this year does this mean no more "Downtown" Inserts? I love those things. Hobby Chronicles maybe?
