sorry for dumb question but did topps release the hobby box with 5 autos ? Neber saw them on their site on 8/7 but card shops had them ? Did I miss it or were they delayed on their site ? Thanks

I was watching the website all day on Friday and I don't think any hobby was released. In the past, only the hobby boxes have been sold online but this year the Bowman Jumbos were sold so who knows. Not sure if there is going to be any hobby on Topps website, but it could still come out this week.

Doesn’t matter...the bots get up early.
And the human versions stay up late until the alerts go off but then 40 seconds later the cart goes empty and.......none today.

Don't they usually have a regular RC and a Debut in Update? They look nice, especially with the NBCD stamp.

Nope, just rookie debut if they had a base in s1 or s2.

I just bought 8 more hangers with the update previews in them, figure these could be pretty nice cards in the long run.

Thank you, I wasn't sure what the usual rule is.

I received an email this morning that my Chrome purchases from Topps on Friday morning have shipped. I chose the cheapest rate - smart post. Here’s what I got, along with a tracking number:
“ TOPPS.COM sent jeffrey b 1 FedEx SmartPost® package(s).
The delivery date may be updated when FedEx receives the package.”

amazing pull...not my card

AJPennSt · 08-09-2020, 11:54 AM

I don't know anybody who buys boxes and opens strictly for the purpose of hitting the best possible card with one in a million odds. I guess there are people who play this like the lottery though..

I hope my LCS drops his price after the main hit is pulled.

I mean I bought a lot of chrome and hit a base Robert rookie auto and immediately put everything else up for sale and sold a lot of the singles I pulled before that. I didn't buy the Chrome for the sake of getting this superfractor Robert though. a lot of people are saying the demand is going to substantially go down because this card is pulled which doesn't make any sense to me. But either does playing the lottery..

none today

jmarascojr · 08-09-2020, 12:07 PM

Found hangers blasters and value packs today at the Target in Penfield NY.

I grabbed all the value packs (8) and 5 blasters, left the rest for the kids...
Probably about 15-20 blasters, idk how many hangers, maybe a handful...

I did text 1-2 board members as I was leaving, but they both slept in, and all the rest was gone by 11 am...

cj828282 · 08-09-2020, 12:16 PM

So where are the hangers with the Update preview cards selling? Target has the exclusive Fire preview cards and WM and Topps have the exclusive Gallery preview cards.

Guessing these are the generic ones. Probably the ones coming from Topps com will have the update previews.

I did check the product page and it stated Gallery preview cards. I was going to open for sure with the Update ones but not so sure with the Gallery cards.

Looks like only auctions and no BIN available from the seller. One seller has about 50 boxes for $35 each.

JeremyNick · 08-09-2020, 12:18 PM

Empty dispay at Wal Mart.

Looks like buying any decent retail is pretty much a thing of the past.

Botbois and flippers own the hobby now.

crawley88 · 08-09-2020, 12:43 PM

Has anybody else had issues with miscut refractors. I opened a bunch of this yesterday and at least 75% of the refractors I got where miscut with a narrow strip along the top of the next card. I hit most of the main RC refractors and each one was miscut. The only cards that were miscut were the refractors, nothing else.
