rentz · 08-01-2023, 06:38 PM

finally got my hobby box i bought before the price jumped.
overall better than the blasters as expected but not much color.

purple massey /250
pink sparkle musgrove /350

1 base ohtani 1 xfractor ohtani

Steer RC Auto

2 RC refractors rosario and gorman

harper technicolor insert

noticed quite a few centering issues, seems every Jung i pull is OC
zero corbin carrolls or acuna

Probably buy another box or jumbo when prices fall

antmr7 · 08-01-2023, 08:13 PM

Opened my hobby box from Topps today and I’m happy with it

Oswald Peraza RC
Josh Jung RC Prism
Alex Call RC /199
Matthew Liberatore RC Auto 33/150

And

Ronald Acuna Jr Purple Speckle 263/299

Opened up my jumbo...

The entire box contained 1 base auto of a no-namer. 2 autos completely missing...

The only color in the entire box was a Taylor Ward /299.

I guess I will fill out the missing hit card and wait to receive 2 base middle reliver autos.

What a disaster product.

Yeah it seems all the good autos were seeded into Breaker's boxes leaving the common collector with a load of crap, for the most part.

Braves420 · 08-01-2023, 09:50 PM

5 Jumbo (2 Preorder / 3 LCS)
7 Hobby (4 Preorder / 3 LCS)

Given I'm a Braves fan I'll call it a win, might have to cheer for Gunnar though.

Go to bjs, they have fanatics $100 gift cards on sale for $70, tomorrows the last day. Can pick up a bunch of blasters for <$24 shipped this way! Eases the pain of getting skunked ripping, or in your case more for the wax museum!!!

My 1 jumbo from Topps said it shipped and order is "complete" but UPS/USPS still has not received anything from them and it's still in limbo a week later...fun times

edit: now emailed them, still zero activity on tracking.

Yeah, but have you seen what people are paying on eBay for them?

If you haven't, I'd HIGHLY advise checking that (future) train wreck out. It's astonishing!

I've watched a lot of breaks for all three configurations and breaker delight boxes aren't noticeably better than Hobby/Jumbo.

Yeah it's bonkers. I'm tracking some of them out of morbid curiosity and it's beyond silly.

I can only imagine what the Ohtani Tacofractor would sell for...

Agreed! That's going to be a fun one to watch or see the end bidding.

Feel pretty good about the results of my first jumbo. Have another sitting in the next room, tempting me...

I'm struggling with comps on the Julio /5 Red Speckle. The regular sp variation refractor is selling for $100 on ebay.

Jolten Joe · 08-02-2023, 11:43 AM

That Julio photo is horrendous he looks like he's drunk at a Karaoke bar

Indeed - the karaoke theme pairs well with the red speckle

I mean it's the type of card you can set a comp on. Now is the time where it will sell for the absolute most given the rainbow chasers and it being a new product. Don't think JRod's stock being down matters much just because of the novelty of the product and I don't think there's much JRod can do to get the stock back up to where it was last year.

Did I miss the big announcement or has Topps not issued one regarding the Tacofractors that they talked about was coming at their National Q&A?

Website still says coming soon, people paying $500ish for them right are almost assuredly going to be disappointed when they finally get around to announcing what this actually is.
