BB tweeted that his boxes ship out tomorrow. Hopefully that means shipments will start for the rest of us as well. Some could have in hand by this weekend.

I did 2 day shipping so that would be awesome if they ship tomorrow and I get it Saturday.

The more important tweet is the release of the checklist. The auto and die cut subjects will be crutial to the success or failure of this product.

The die cuts will be the big stars since only 15. I am worried about the auto list since we already know Altuve. I am wondering if it is a subset of the FF auto checklist. I think we will get Trout and maybe Acuna and a few RCs (Lux, May, Lewis). I don't think Robert will be on it but would like to be wrong.

As far as die cuts

Trout
Bellinger
Acuña Jr.
Soto
Robert

Those are confirmed

Quote:

There’s WAY more fire than just the Acuna. But that diamond die cut Acuna is Fire. The Trout Superfractor. Autos. Judge. Robert. Soto.

Did he just confirm 3 more autos?

One ended at Auction for $470. Wow, gonna be a lot of cancellations. I think this will cause more people to rip though.

I'm returning my boxes to Topps if I can only make $200 per box profit. Unacceptable.

He meant cancellations from eBay buyers that bought boxes at $700+

Why would the seller cancel? He made $200 profit.

As long as you are not at a loss, you good!

Buyers who bought at $900 a week ago will cancel.

Oh you are unfortunately right, I was only looking at the seller perspective, not the buyer. This better not turn into P2020. Still looking forward to my 1 box.

vinbots · 09-10-2020, 10:06 AM

Once everyone sells because they bought their box or two with money they don’t have, I think we’ll see a nice steady rise on sealed box prices. It’s chrome, it’s limited, and has big RC potential. And we still don’t have an auto checklist.

This. I said cancel, because they cant really return something they havent gotten yet. In a way I am glad, I have never ripped a hobby box in 20+ years of collecting. If they were selling for $1,000 I wouldnt be ripping, but now I may.

At 1 auto per every 18 to 20 boxes, will that really drive the price? I dont know, i dont really follow wax.

Autos are 1 in 10 boxes, still not likely, so l agree this will not drive the box prices.
Getting some kind of Luis Robert card is around 62%. That and the parallels are more important to the box price.

Thanks for correcting. I was only looking at the gold autos being 1:403

Saywhat75 · 09-10-2020, 11:00 AM

I’ll probably go ahead and rip mine. I’m a single 39 year old dude so I have to find some way to make my Saturday evenings exciting!

Wheres the checklist?

I guess BB Gun and Topps Lower Management sat down and decided they'd put one out out after the money is in the bank.

I don't see this being less than $400 a box, that's still nice profit.

I do think they will definitely be around $500 though, especially when people open them and not many remain sealed.

Auto Checklist - Altuve, and 9 variations of Altuve... honestly I don’t have high hopes for a nice checklist, the fact they put Altuve as one of the 10 tells me Topps probably went cheap, and I wouldn’t be surprised to to see sticker autos for some.

Purely speculating at this point, but assuming there were multiple releases that could be hard-signed, and a mixture of both rookies and vets (probably only active players), I'd look to the Five Star base auto checklist as a possible indicator of who might have signed. I'd cite similar release/signing windows, hard-signed copies or redemptions, and more!

There's 66 auto subjects in that list. Any possibility we'd go 10 for 10?

callou2131 · 09-10-2020, 03:34 PM

So what base cards go for $50 or up early? Trout, Alvarez, Luis Robert, Kyle Lewis, Bo Bichette, Gavin Lux maybe. Any others?

Acuna, Soto, Tatis will get some love, probably under $50 though

Maxcd · 09-10-2020, 03:49 PM

There's what, 4,000 of each base card? Most veteran Gold parallels go for under $5. I don't see most base being any more valuable than that.
