Topps 582 Montgomery Club

[Swipe79]

And...

Hoese /50 - Stott /20


Schmitt and Infante /99


Don't think I did very well on the base and it looks like some duplication in there.

That's what I was told, but who knows? Maybe then, the boxes will be relisted as "in stock". I've seen that happen on other boxes -- whether that was due to canceled orders, I don't know.

That comment was an exaggeration by someone. He wasn't being serious. I read the original (referenced) post yesterday when I was catching up on the thread and I'm almost certain the user said he was happy with his day because he was able to buy sixteen boxes online.

Sixteen.

Austin Nola Auto for me in the first set.

I also opened a box of UEFA Sapphire. Yellow Ronaldo, Green Mbappe, and Purple Future Stars Meret. Best RC was Mason Mount. Didn't hit the big two, but not a bad box.

Thanks. Not gonna lie, thought it was a Red. Didn’t realize it was a Papadapolous til I turned it over

My 2 boxes were pretty darn good.
Didn’t do well on the hits, but got very nice base cards.
The 2 Torkelson base actually came from a same box!

Pics are in order of hits, 1st round pitchers (+Daxton Fulton), 1st round hitters (+Infante).

Thanks to an admitted lack of no self-control I opened my two BDS boxes and did fairly well I think. Not familiar with all of the more highly regarded players so may have missed some of the better base cards. Strongly contemplating sending the Gold Witt and Torkelson for slabbing.

Opened my 4 boxes. I'm not a prospector, so I honestly have no idea how I did. Hitting a purple was cool. All are available. Probably sending to eBay. If you're interested in anything, DM me.

Obviously the law has to change. It did for ticket botting. There is way more money being made online by bots now than there was with ticket bots when the government banned them. It should be illegal to buy anything online with a bot. So assuming bots are eventually banned for online purchases than absolutely those people should be thrown in jail. Being heavily fined and jail time are the only things that will stop them. It does not matter how much money they make. They will never stop. If bots don't get banned it will get to a point where you can't order a single thing with resale value online without a bot.

Class action, fellas?!

Well Target seems to think so. I don't see how every Target in my state limits buyers of sports cards to very low amounts but if you're a bot online they have no issue sending you 6 or 7 figures worth of card boxes.

Somehow I doubt they cancel 99.99%, the give or take amount that bots bought, of today's Bowman Draft Sapphire orders and have them back up for sale next week. But stranger things have happened.

Civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation.

Um, these are baseball cards. Not food, not gasoline, not toilet paper. They're baseball cards. I want to be in the court room when the judge sees this case.

You think if there was huge resale money to made on what's generally considered essential goods the bots wouldn't buy it all if they could? They don't because the resale value isn't there. If the resale value wasn't there in cards they wouldn't be buying them either.

That Orange Schmidt is a great looking card!
