I don’t follow the others, but Bregman is doing about normal. He’s only lagging on three things:
— luck (he’s running a really low BABIP, which is just small sample size)
— games played (pulled a hammy, so he was out)
— ISO (he’s had a little lower on launch angle, so more LD, and a little fewer barrels, but EV remains about the same so guessing this is small sample size issue)

Otherwise all plate discipline, K%, BB%, etc. are on career averages.

If the MSRP is $200+ for 32 cards I'm going to vomit.

If I'm not an MC member and there's no raffle, is it safe to assume I'm SOL ?

Definitely not. You’ll just have to buy it on secondary market somewhere.

Absolutely, it should be readily available on ebay and BO will definitely be selling as well.

I should've been more clear. Lol

Am I SOL when it comes to paying a decent price?

There will be more available group break opportunities than you can imagine.

Team breaks. Division breaks. Low cost / high risk single card breaks. Personal breaks. Auction breaks. Who needs breaks? Get your breaks here.

Can you imagine being having a product so popular you can create 10,000 boxes and sell out at $50 each instantly or 50,000 and sell out pretty much instantly at $300

[bulljh]

Awesome, another product I have no chance of getting directly.

[CapeTownCards]

MC members with a 5 box limited pre-sale.

(That would be awesome if true! I’m thinking 2 boxes in reality.)

[ucLAkers]

This is the time of the year that Houdini ends up with my money and I end up with Reds, Marlins, Tigers, KC and probably like my normal luck...the Giants

Last year, we got 20 boxes. You should have started at 20 for maximum outrage.

The secret message is written in pee Schrute-style. You have to hold a lighter under your screen for 1-2 minutes to see the message.

It'll be $150. Same format as Bowman Sapphire. Guaranteed auto and a good percentage chance of a parallel. Heck, I could see it be $200+ due to the track record and the added cost of obtaining signatures of established major leaguers.

I can see it being $400 due to the secondary market prices!

This should drop next week. If not, then something is up or back up at the printers.

I think there is something to the rumors of the printing delays. This could be a big issue for the rest of the 2020 releases and into the 2021 stuff. There really isn't a break for them with CCG and all sports stuff being an endless stream of product.

Yeah, with all of the packout and collation issues maybe they are taking extra steps for quality control. I don't think there has been a product in the last couple of months without packout problems.

[brothertona]

I'd assume Topps is paying extra attention to that with multiple high profile packout problems on releases. Also since it is the same printer that does Panini/Topps right now it's a free for all. We've gotten releases back to back to back from both companies.

You could be right. I'm a firm believer of at least half the allocation being spoken for by resellers before it even hits the site though. The insanity that ensues on eBay after people waste 5 hours trying to check out through Topps' website is essentially the greatest advertisement for baseball cards there is. The price will be "reasonable" because it's good for business all around.
