So far the best part has been following this thread and getting a pile of 2018 update boxes for half off

I didn't want to be mean and say that, but it's exactly what I was thinking too lol.

These look like something you'd pull in a pack from Walmart... Absolutely nothing about these say high end to me

im glad i skipped the 1000 dollar box. The membership still has good value though.


Im thinking 30 boxes of update is going to have more value than 1 box of brooklyn.

I actually think the cards look decent, however the bleeding gold foil and $1K box is enough to say I made the right decision sitting this out.

The cards will sell on eBay for a lot less and I can pick what I want. Those that bought in, I wish you the best luck on nailing the big hits.

Big question is how much less.... if someone posts each card in the box on eBay, how close can they get to 1000?

The results of the box posted I doubt would even get close to half way. I think even if you hit one of the bigger names it would be hard to break even.

LOL! Fat kids. They couldn't get away with that today, even though it's hilarious.

I put all six cards on ebay with a starting bid of $99 with one bid so far. Hoping to recoup some of my loss on this. As far as the bleeding gold foil, it appears that this is part of the design. The photography is horrible and there is no gloss at all. And all the backs say the same thing.

All autos are on card, so they've had these for a while. The Odd thing.... The Altuve,Piazza, Bagwell, and chipper Jones cards are design 1 and the Devers and the Torres Redemption are design 2.
Man I hope you hit the Torres 1/1 in your redemption

Anybody else a little annoyed that the Brooklyn Collection (in addition to being really lame) made it to folks before the first set that was supposed to ship after you signed up?

Yes but not shocked I guess. Must be taking extra time to ensure sticker autos are placed on straight.

What’s crazy is The Brooklyn sets were already made, so why the lack of info?
No product photos at the beginning and then the photos they do show included a Torres and the one box we see broken has a Torres Redemption!
The whole process was rushed and not executed properly for a High end Release that was already produced.
It will be very interesting to see the True members breaks versus the Business members..... lol
