Next two boxes...cards of note:

Kershaw action
Machado action
Mookie Betts Blue Border
Buster Posey All-Star Bright Yellow Back

The Posey was tough to catch because the All-Star cards don't have much yellow.

While I'm putting together a master set, I'm not bothering with the Blue Borders or the Bright Yellow back so those will be available for sale or trade.

Hoping Wil Myers has a throwback variation.

He does, per the Cardboard Connection website.

Nice, I'll check it out. I'll need to pick one up once they cool down.

Do the bright yellow backs have different codes on them?

Nope.

[nera20]

do the yellow backs, grey backs, and flip stock have different codes? Are they in the middle of the packs?

[PensFan29]

What is the standard color for a card back? I have seen bright yellow and grayish-yellow so far.

Codes are the same, placement in mid of pack for the most part.

Codes are the same as the base, but they are in the hit spot like SPs and inserts

[Jesh]

Okay I think I pulled a Javy Baez then. Was in hit spot and is way lighter than the rest of them.

I bought three loose packs at LCS to go along with the three boxes and hit a blue border Urias and the relic card, was start of a pretty good break

I expect this too. Once the first run is gone, that will be it.

You would notice the difference if you held them next to a normal card but they don't have any different code.

What is everyone thinking of case prices? Going up, down, or nowhere?

It's easy to tell which ones are the 3D. The flimsy packs are the buy backs. One of the packs will be very rigid. Those 3D cards are basically made of plastic.

Who knows? At this point I'd have to guess up. Due to insane prices out the gate it should cause the secondary market to dry up fairly quickly which should result in strong demand for wax since all of the people trying to build the sets might have trouble.

I think they will stay at this price for awhile, but could go slightly higher if the RCs get hot.

[TarjetasBéisbol]

I have to agree, I doubt the case prices will ever get down to presell prices anytime soon. On a side note; what's up with the over photoshopped faces on some of these cards? Some of these players look like they got the full on Kardashian photoshop job!

Might get down to $875-900 but no less due to supply. Everything I have heard and everyone I have talked to can't see it going up much. Maybe this time next year.

Only thing that would change that is buyers staying off it. That said it was 939 this morning here with 5 available. Its 935 this afternoon with 5 available.

If the RC's are all duds, prices will normalize. Otherwise, I don't see it moving. It's too much damn fun to open.

Just so you guys know, you don't have to list lower than the last sale... Especially by HALF...

Seager color swap sells for $99.99, then the next person sells it for half... way to go!

Long term, up significantly.

Short term is harder to predict because it is starting out at release higher than it ever has, so could slip a little. But I wouldn't expect it to drop a lot. Too many people looking to buy.
