Doubt you're in the majority. With Chrome sapphire if people are again shut out via raffle, making it 0/3, and seeing Montgomery club members consistently doubling up via raffle (whether or not that's true for most of the club) I can see customers spending their money elsewhere. It's not's like there aren't lots of other overpriced online exclusives at Panini

You don't.

With Finest Flashbacks, someone shared the universal link and raffle winners (who are currently unsubscribed to Topps emails) were able to add to cart and purchase.

With Ben Baller TC, it seems that the links are unique (not universal) so if you're unsubscribed to Topps emails, you won't know if you've won the raffle or not. Best thing to do is to reach out to them (but I've tried for months so not sure you'll get a response before they sell out).

This. Many boxes will get ripped making the sealed wax even rarer. If the bigger name rookies start selling out, or going for large sums, the box prices will creep higher and higher.

I was able to get the second box with no issues. Has anyone found the checklist?

There are people going to be left holding the bag on this not far in the future. The singles prices might support the box prices in the short term just on hype and for people buying to grade but beyond a month or two there's no way that you're going to have people paying Finest Flashbacks prices for the equivalent Ben Baller card. I have yet to see anyone in this thread that actually wants the cards to collect

But what about all the Ben Baller fans that are non baseball card collectors? They might be crazy enough to drive the prices up on these

That's why the box prices are 4x out of the gate. I just think people who don't traditionally care about baseball cards or baseball are going to want to pay $50 for a Bo Bichette Ben Baller card 2 months from now. How many Ben Baller fans have heard of a baseball player not named Tatis?

0 for 4. How could that even be when ⅔ seems to have won a box for everyone here.

I envision 20-40% of these boxes being bought by Baller’s acolytes and disappearing forever.

Just wondering, did anyone win that hasnt bought anything from topps prior? Wondering if they used that as an easy way to avoid the scammers.

Any reason this is $250 other than they saw how popular Flashbacks was and how much they were selling on the secondary market and wanted to make sure they got more of the pie this go around?

No luck here, but I got picked for Finest Flashbacks so no complaints. Congrats to everyone who got one or more.
