My first ever GPK purchase...2020 is weird

Zeldafanatic15 · 12-08-2020, 12:22 PM

Thanks so much! Just happened to come look in the thread and grabbed one. Took forever, site running like molasses.

Just in time, thanks! My wife and I really like GPK, so will be really happy to bust this box. Sapphire are always really nice cards, so these should look great with GPK.

Dangit. Of course I was working out during all of this. Get finished and see the email.

I just realized that these aren't stickers.

I’ve never bought non-sports before. I’m thinking long-term hold on this. Even being non-sports, am I right to think it could appreciate nicely even after the initial hype wears off? Or should I just sell into the frenzy?

I think sealed it will hold value down the road. Sapphire has become huge for baseball, looked at sealed boxes of the first couple years. This is GPK's first foray into Sapphire, and wouldn't be shocked if they continue it.

I couldn't agree more, but I've lost out on about everything at MSRP this year so if these are an easy flip....ok then!

I think for sure. Not a GPK fan or collector, but I’ve been checking, reading and gauging the possibilities... and I got 27 boxes today. I think there is some money to be made on this. I’m keeping mine for a while and not selling into this current surge of sales.

I think the key is it being cards from Series 1 & 2. Those original chrome cards have seen a huge increase in demand. Series 1 blasters are selling for $120+. Blasters!

I'm really curious what the print run will be.

This too. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I'd love just a base Sapphire Adam Bomb.

Must have created multiple accounts in an attempt to circumvent Topp's policies.

Maybe but plenty of people had their orders cancelled when this was attempted with other products. So I wouldn't read much into it. If Topps really wants to remain to one per customer there will be a lot of cancellations happening. Sure some will get their multiple orders, but that is playing with fire as you don't know if they will catch you or not.

Nah, I’ll be good. Don’t worry.

Meh. Ruining GPK for those of us who actually collect them. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to Wacky Packages.
