Nah, you gotta do it while holding something that shows today's date.

Steals!!! I would definitely hold! I don’t see chronicles dropping that low but you never know. SUPPLY VS DEMAND

25/hanger is definitely a steal. Considering MSRP was $18, with tax that's close to 20. I assume you just made a huge (quantity-wise) deal?

MSRP is $11.98. Unless we're talking something other than Chronicles.

Agreed. The people selling these pre sales on eBay either have no intention of shipping and are just getting a quick interest free loan. Even if they do ship I feel they’ll be getting tons of returns once this hits retail stores. No way blasters are selling for $110 once retail is stocked.

Yeah it's impossible for a kid or even an average middle class worker. 2 years ago you could of preordered Optic Basketball for like $90 a box. Today $900 to preorder Chronicles Basketball.

For the hobby to continue we need young kids to participate. Sports Card Investors are killing this for everyone. It is sickening.

I really wanted to open some of this, but this is two car payments for me. Ridiculous! I really want to get into modern cards, but this is insane. $19 a card!

It involves dragging your parents to Target and Walmart waiting for the restocking person.

A Target employee told me how a kid's dad told him he has to get another hobby because of this...

That really puts in perspective. Obviously things were underpriced 2 years ago, I’d also say things are overpriced in the current market. Things will hopefully settle somewhere in the middle.
