Cross that bridge when you reach it.

It looks like you can order as many as you want and whatever that amount is is the print run?
Or are there set print runs?

Also why do we think the prices are getting driven up so much if anyone can get them?
Or am i dead wrong and these sellout immediate and there is a set limited PR?

No set print run. No limitation on # available for purchase.

I believe the economic term "phantastic object" is in play.

New product which has the perception of breaking the mold and radically altering the market.

Collectively buying into a belief of unbounded wealth.

Rampant speculation and baseless optimism.

I agree, that is smart

And I also have 140 cards that I am still waiting on from Topps.

These cards are not going down in price. Example card very hot in the hobby Ronald Acuna Topps Bat Down print run 20k, Luka Donic Prizm Silver print run 40-50k print run. These cards are very desirable and very sought after in the hobby. These cards are only collected from Sports cards collectors . These cards are collected from four different demographics of collectors.This set will hold strong and will be a main staple in the hobby.

Good luck. If I'm home, like I am today, I don't even try.

Ebay struggles to find someone manning the phones that can speak English.

I can guarantee they do not have a department that analyzes refunds based on pricing changes.

I think latecomers can still collect a set if they want...go for one card per artist (my preference) or player...highest print run for each...”set” of 20

The bolded part also relates to the baseball card market in general. Not a new concept. Helium and speculation drives that market too.

Yeah I'm at a backlog of 240

I just want to get my cards and open a 1/1. I'm not asking for much!

I have already had (2) unscrupulous sellers cancel on me on (2) Ermsy Trouts I purchased for $499 and 1000, respectively. This is in the past 48 hours. The cards explosive and exponential growth has turned people into liars.

It’s just bad business and unfair. What can you do? Boys will remain boys

Some people are getting 20 copies of their favorite card and displaying that as a 'set'.

I purchased cards from castorpollux22. Two are Efdot Ryan’s that he should either have in hand or get shortly. Guess I’ll find out in the next few days if I will receive anything.

I don't regret missing out on profits if I don't believe in the underlying commodity.

Bryan Tankersley on Mercari just cancelled an order on me. Don't know his eBay ID.

"I have to cancel your order. I am in the process of moving and I am currently unable to locate the card at the moment. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience."

[Sirwin30]

Does anyone know when the Chang ichiro will ship?
