I do! I bought probably 15 of these from one of the big three for $20 a box. I remember telling those Backpages these were a great deal because of the illusions pack.

These are a blast to bust and I opened a couple about a month ago. Pulled a nice illusions Kamara patch auto.


Edit: sorry about your dad cruiser. I lost my dad from dementia and it was tough to see him fade away. I wish the best to you and your dad.

I appreciate that. It's been tough to see the slow yet when added up quick decline, if that makes any sense. Knowing time isn't an unlimited thing, more than ever, I just try to bond and grab more memories for myself and children while trying to help him while doing so. Just knowing time is running out is a tough thing as I am sure you are all too well aware.

As for the 2018 Donruss, it seems you and I think alike on alot of the products we appreciate it. At $160 it's not quite as hot. I got most of mine around $50 per, so you killed it!

It makes total sense and I understand what you are saying. Hopefully, you can share some more memories with him and your children.


As far as these boxes go, I wish I bought 50 of them. SO MUCH FUN to bust.

cruiser, I lost my dad to dementia as well, and my thoughts are with you. Years from now you're going to be so grateful for what you're doing right now to cherish the time with him. I wish I had done more of the same thing when I could.

2014 Bowman Draft hobby at 99 seems reasonable

[hermanotarjeta]

This is the most interesting pricing I have ever seen for black november sales -

2017 bowman hobby box is MORE EXPENSIVE than 2017 bowman jumbo box.

Can anyone figure out why?

They're basically the same price. It says jumbo is on sale whereas the hobby is not. So, they must have just lowered the price on jumbos for some reason. Excess inventory of those? Either way, there's no realistic reason I know of that they should be essentially the same price since you get 3 autos in jumbo and just 1 in hobby. No idea how their prices compare to market comps.

It takes a 30 second search to find out. In a shocking turn of events, still way over market.

Do we know why he was banned? His negativity really angered people, but he wasn't always wrong.

Someone in the hockey thread suggested it could've been something with racial undertones and that it got deleted in the fb forum. I don't doubt it..he's said some ugly racist things in the past that i was surprised didn't get him banned a couple years ago. Like I've said about him..he doesn't get suspended all the time because of his negativity

Doubt they will have anything active with their sale going on. They are usually smarter than that and do not allow layering of discounts.

Anyone have a good suggestion for something to buy to open with my dad this weekend when he comes and visits. Some ideas I have so far are:
2021 Heritage High Number Case
2022 Opening Day Case

Any other good idea around the $500 mark?

I'd go with the heritage high. I've done about 4 cases in the past and it's pretty fun. The base checklist doesn't look too great but the auto checklist is awesome. You'll get 4-5 autos per case and a chance to pull some solid names if you get lucky.

Those 2016 Topps Chrome Update Megas going the route I expected. One guy already dumping some for a loss. Thats a fast loss. 5 boxes sold for $100. Not counting fees and shipping.

I opened one of my cases. For sure some fun to be bad, but bar is pretty low otherwise. Best hit was a Trout ASG jersey card and a Snell RC Xfractor. Tons of rookie base which is fun for me.

One side note on these; I forgot Update had the first pitch set that year. I'm tempted to grade the Aubrey Plaza lol

Looks like the second auction didn't go the same as the first. He had another auction go for $182.50. So 282.50 for 10 boxes before fees, between the 2 auctions. Has the last set of 5 listed with BIN for $200.

Absurd people kill the market so quickly. What's the point even.

Auctions are the worst way to sell low demand products.

On a positive note, the seller can break-even (if he sells the last 5-box lot for $200) and rip/hold the last one.

Certainly not that way I'll go about moving my boxes (to recoup cost) but it gets the job done if the goal was to rip/hold at least 1 box for free.
