Got two on my side account, really happy with how smooth everything went from MC Presale to Raffle

Gotta love the secondary is already exploding on these!

allstarauction · 07-16-2020, 06:03 PM

Lucky enough to be a group 1 winner. No issues getting my order in. Even if I don't win, I much prefer this than the madness of a free for all.

vinbots · 07-16-2020, 06:04 PM

So we've established Group 1 has winners and non-winners. Now the question is, did any accounts with no prior purchases on topps.com win the raffle? Not individuals, accounts.

Go...

TimChill · 07-16-2020, 06:04 PM

I didn't get picked. Will there be a group 2 selected today or another raffle?

brothertona · 07-16-2020, 06:05 PM

Group 1 as well

I love this process, I'd assume any boxes that are still available will be sold in an open sale in the next few days.

Agreed. I too won the raffle. I got in and purchased without watching the wheel spin forever. Even had I not won, it is better than refreshing for an entire day to still not get anything like I encountered on Bowman Sapphire day.

Does that mean you won? But you do have a purchase history with the account that won, correct?

So to simplify this, can anyone confirm they won without any purchase history on topps.com?

I was a group 1 winner. Using my Topps account I’ve had since before 2012. I’ve ONLY fulfilled redemptions, never once have made a purchase. Because I was a lucky raffle winner, I can gladly say this is my first Topps purchase direct from their site even though I’ve been an account member for redemption fulfillment throughout the years.

Right now $175-185 is the upper rate of actual sales. Lots of boxes listed $200 or higher.

Yes. I won on an alt account without an previous purchases on it.

JRX · 07-16-2020, 06:17 PM

Well, I would still be interested in buying a base set, don't care about refractors or autos.

bustsomewax · 07-16-2020, 06:18 PM

Sold two Luis base for $135. What a life.

Dont buy boxes, the set will probably be cheaper on EBay...probably cheaper than $55

I could also wait 5 years or 10 or 20, I think I bought the 93 set only a couple of years ago.

What a nightmare....wait till they find out they aren't refractors....they gonna P2020 you.

I feel like a lot of this will happen. Sellers will list cards at a high price, buyers will buy thinking it's a refractor and buy it. Card arrives, buyer doesn't see shiny, buyer pulls a P2020 and returns. By the time the seller gets card back, the base is worth a few bucks.

elny43 · 07-16-2020, 06:24 PM

Maybe because I'm bummed I didn't win, or I've got nothing else better to do on a Thursday night lol ...I went back to page 32 when jjo1776 was the first to post that they received the email.

Here are the #s based on what people posted (including some who said they had a friend/side account/wife/mom/cousin/etc.).

100 Responses
Group 1 = Yes (34); No (27)
Group 21 = Yes (3); No (0)
Unknown Group #= Yes (23); No (13)

56% hit rate for Group 1
100% hit rate for Group 21
65% hit rate for Unknown Group #

60% hit rate for Overall Respondents

No idea how they could mistake it. But anything is possible I guess.

avicke · 07-16-2020, 06:25 PM

Is the link unique per email? I have never gotten any emails ever from Topps.com (even the 10% off coupon I signed up for) - just wanted to try and see if I was selected.

Or is there a place within our accounts that you saw where you were selected?

Thanks for the assistance!

Not likely. Too hard to finish, and the Robert RC is probably going to settle around that price by itself.
