2018 Topps Chrome Update...Let the chase begin!

[daveyou]

man you guys are doing well. got 10 mega boxes and got ZERO refractors. 1 auto scrub forgot the name. I'm guessing the 10 left has the good stuff lol

[Zeldafanatic15]

I still haven't seen any stocked near me, not sure if the rep has been in with all the shuffling or I just missed them. Got two boxes coming in from Target.com on Thursday.

I wouldn't say it's drying up yet. Probably multiple reloads coming guys, they made more than 2x of this stuff than last year

My Target was reloaded on Megas, but nothing else.

I’ve been selling these consistently at $32 and several at $35. While some people will sell them at the lower prices I’m not sure the supply is there for these to drop that much.

How are you shipping the boxes? It has to cost more than $3.75 to ship a box.

I pointed out that there aren't any exclusions like that listed on the corporate page I was reading but she didn't seem to get the idea.

I pointed out that I could walk into Target when I receive the items this week and return and purchase them (on top of the fact that there are still a dozen boxes in the store). And she didn't seem to get the concept...it was also really hard to understand the gal on the phone. She just kept telling me, sorry but they can't do the price match because it is out of stock online and suggested that I go to the store when they arrive...which I explained to her was a colossally pointless thing to say.

That sucks. I ordered 10 boxes that will be here tomorrow. Was going to call once they are in-hand. I have a Walmart and Meijer in my town, but the nearest Target is an hour away. Not worth that drive and hassle for $20

Mines about ten minutes away - still a huge pain. I mean...Target is going to give me $20 either way, why not just take care of it over the phone.

I agree, most all Targets should probably see at least 1 reload.
No reason for anyone with a brain to pay more than $20 for these.
In fact, they're only 17.99 currently. EBay, if you must buy, get 'em for $25.

[DRZ84]

I haven't seen any of these.

That's what makes the "chase". Remember Target only, and check their website or this thread every so often-you'll score some eventually.

Man, you need a couple of new Targets to search...lol

[beauspencer]

I feel bad for some of you. I've had plenty at two of the Targets near me, and haven't had to go to the 3rd. I've bought a lot and left even more on the shelves.

[corockies]

Stopped by my local Target this afternoon. Bought the 3 boxes they had. Opened 2, got a Soto RC in each box. Both boxes had almost identical cards. Pack odds for inserts and parallels are totally insane.

[jjcan]

I do not remember last years 2017 Chrome update, I just bought Bellingers singles.

How long does Topps Chrome update usually last till, End of November, 1 or 2 more weeks?

I know more people say they are buying and saving it and seeing 2nd releases (Some seeing none).

I am debating the whole spending money this week, or it will be around awhile? December?

All you need to know about total production, and that this stuff is far from drying up LOL

Save your $ for prizm basketball.......19-20 that is!!!!! ZION!!!

[stormshadow815]

So I had originally told myself to stay away from this stuff because IMO the only thing of value is Soto and with rarity of color and overproduction compared to last year I was going to stick with that.

Then I got the Target toy book in the mail that had a $10 gift card if you buy $50 in toys. So I said what the hell i'll buy 4 boxes at target and take a shot at a few Soto's.

So I ordered the boxes on Friday and they arrived today. I usually never have this kind of luck.......

[Swipe79]

Went to get my price adjustment on my boxes (which they did in about two seconds for me) and saw they had ten more boxes. Grabbed four and did okay.

Nick Kingham Auto
Machado Refractor /250
Kinsler Refractor /250
5 Gleyber
4 Acuna
3 Ohtani
1 Miggy Papa

No Soto in these ones.

I ship them in a padded mailer first class for one or 2. 3 to 5 fit in a medium flat rate. Seems people buy them in quantities of 1,2 or 5. I’m averaging $4-6 per box after fees and shipping.

[jhssketchcards]

Bought 4 Mega and a few hangers and got two autos and a red Ref of Baez. 4 Soto Base RC.
Got a Meadows Prism Ref Auto. Went back the next day and bought two more hangers. Got a Ref Auto of........ Meadows.

Also did hit a Torres Base Refractor

Is that even worth it for the hours you spend driving to Targets clearing them out? Or do you have a connection with Excell?
