Sold Out. Picked up two between 582 and today. One is already sold, so maybe I'll open the other one.

I feel like this happened with something else - a per customer limit. But in that case, you couldn't actually order more with a given account. Am I making that up? Why put a limit on it and then allow a single account to keep ordering? Doesn't make sense.

Is it safe to assume that the GPK Sapphire base cards will essentially be atomic refractors since there is a #/99 parallel redundantly named "Blue Sapphire"?

It was 24 packs max "per order."

Yes, and that was a good decision. The background colors contributes to the artwork and I think it would be much less appealing if it were all blue-washed.

I can't wait to see the market settle in for these. Looks like $120-125 is the new pre-sale level, but that'll likely walk down some. My guess is you'll be able to pick them up for ~$100 once they start arriving in people's hands. But who knows in 2020.

I'm not a GPK collector, but do you realize how big of a collecting base there is behind it? It has a cult following.

I am likely going to just hold onto my 2 boxes for a while. I think this will become a must have set when people get it in their hands.

Was it Sapphire? I can't remember which one of the 50 products in the past 2 months it was.

It amazes you that people will spend money on something that they can almost assuredly sell for more if they choose to do so?

I will be holding too. I expect a very nice appreciation upwards on these.

I just bought 6 more boxes, 1 at a time. They put the limit so someone doesn't buy 10 at a time where it would sell out quickly. I'm 100% confident Topps will honor the sale. This is not the first time this has been done this way. I have spent 100s of thousands with Topps the last 5 years and never had them pull a sale from me. Even when the club first came out I accidentally bought 2 memberships on the same account because of a glitch. I contacted Topps and told them I didn't want to lose my membership and they said no problem and that if I wanted, I could just keep the 2 memberships on one account. They even let me renew both accounts last year. This year I only renewed one because I could only preorder from 1 anyway. Plus, I have 4 unique 582 memberships. If they wanted to, they could have made it impossible to buy more than 1, just like they did for club members.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

I was so tempted, but I stuck to one for each of MC accounts and one for each today. Just didn't feel like dealing with a hassle from them, but interested to see if they honor all yours...hopefully so.

Best of luck, but the language is clear and they have cancelled orders on other products containing that language.
