Almost picked two of these megas up but feel like I made the right decision in leaving them there.

Neither, found them in Delaware #notax

Dbacksbaseball · 03-17-2019, 03:56 PM

I grabbed the two off my Walmarts shelf this morning.

1 Gold Relic #/99, 3 Refractors, 4 Chromes.....not too bad to be honest for $40....12 SP's combined.....so probably a couple bucks down...but nothing to crazy, good value from what I am seeing.

LOVE IT!

Picked up some of the megaboxes. Pulled an Ohtani Clubhouse Collection relic but the card number is ECCR-SO and the picture looks different than the regular CCR-SO i've seen on ebay (bat is on his right shoulder). Anyone know what the "E" stands for??

Might stand for "Exclusive" since these are the spring box exclusive cards.

cj828282 · 03-17-2019, 05:37 PM

Yes, these megas are good value with the SPs, cloth stickers, and the exclusive chrome cards. And appears to be some good content as well in the packs. I made back my money and still have some cards to sell from my lone box I purchased. Have another one coming in the mail on Tuesday.

4 Mega Boxes in

Sale relic gold /99
Bryant relic
Hosmer black ref /70 (from the main chrome set)
Snell auto

Correa throwback

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaded

djolley86 · 03-17-2019, 08:37 PM

Are you guys noticing that the chrome/refractor parallels are bending? I just looked at a few that I had opened a few weeks ago, and they look like those old Topps Chrome cards from a number of years ago, the way they have bent so quickly.

Yep, it’s well known across the chromes this year. Strong enough to bend a toploader.

edclay · 03-17-2019, 10:26 PM

Picked up 5 mega boxes and did pretty well. 2 black refractors in the chrome packs, all the big names in the SP and cloth inserts. Plus I got this auto

jzeiter · 03-17-2019, 10:59 PM

I am looking to purchase or trade for any chrome /999 or refractors /570 from the megaboxes. Trying to put a set together. PM me for details.

Yikes. Thanks for the info. Not sure how this is happening in 2019, when the recent prior years have had no issues.

Like a lot of people, I think the 1970 super box toppers are pretty nice, but their unusual dimensions (3-1/8" x 5-1/4") don't easily fit in any normal toploader that I know of. Also, judging by the way that sellers mailed them to me, it doesn't seem like other people had an obvious way to store them, either, so I wanted to share what I eventually did that I'm pretty happy with.

My first strategy was to buy Ultra Pro 4" x 6" postcard toploaders, along with 3-11/16" x 5-3/4" Ultra Pro "penny" postcard sleeves. This worked, but the "4 x 6" dimensions turned out to be the internal size (makes sense in retrospect), which meant that they were too large to store in a typical card box, even lying on their sides. I wasn't happy with that, so I went back to the drawing board.

I eventually found some 3-1/2" X 7-1/4" "ticket" toploaders (also Ultra Pro), and I figured I would try them out and cut down the length dimension if it seemed like a good fit otherwise. I also debated what to do with the soft sleeves, because they were going to be slightly too wide for these toploaders. I figured I could either cut off a bit of their width (weird because it would make them open on two sides), forgo them entirely (maybe worse protection?), or just fold the side over a little and see how it worked. I ended up picking the latter option, at least for now, and I think it's a fine compromise.

The cards fit well, so I used a paper cutter to cleanly cut down the length of the toploaders to 6", and I think the net effect is the best I've seen for these cards so far. If you have a different and/or better approach, I'd love to know! Thanks.

That supers set looks good, just wished they used a different picture of Kaline. That pic looks like it’s from the 50’s.

lauriontj · 03-18-2019, 09:25 AM

These kids are dope. Good chemistry, and seem to really enjoy cards for what they are.
