This!!!!

[CardMarkets]

Just opened 1st box, received today (3 total coming, from 2 montgomery memberships and 1 raffle win). Pleasantly surprised. Not only did I hit a Kyle Lewis orange ref/25 and fair amount of color and my diamond insert, but pulled most of the key RCs as well, so can't complain.

Did anyone else have the distict feeling that these cards were a bit sharper/crisper than normal chrome? Every card was razor sharp and zero quality issues. Felt like a higher level of quality than normal chrome. Has me thinking they'll grade well - and wondering if I really will sell my remaining 2 boxes incoming. Didn't think after one box I'd want to rip more of the product given that it's still selling around 700/box+. Going to be a tough decision. Kudos to Topps on the product quality though.

I have zero TC this year due to cost and retail scarcity, but these TCBB cards are sharp overall. Not a lot of quality issues that I noticed.

Being the guy who got 500 for the Robert refractor
I made over 1700 and only sold like 10-12 cards total
I sold the Alvarez refractor for 300
I am very very happy with my return - but I do feel special being remembered

I still have almost all my base from 3 boxes and some color.

I sold the first Bichette gold for $200. So I think I win! Don't have any regrets. But sometimes it does pay not to be the first to list. I was making comparisons to his Finest gold auto since there were no other comps, which was going for around $200. No way did I think it would bring $500. Note: Also sold a Robert for $50, but was OC.

How long til the market is flooded with these? Am I crazy to just 1 day auction everything? Feel like I’m listing at insane prices but people are also paying insane prices...

All of these prices are just so out of wack. This could be a nightmare with returns

Someone posted on Twitter a red 1985 Soto. Looks very nice.

There's a Trout auto Gold Ref /50 on eBay now, will see where that one ends.

Same here. Surprisingly ok with this though. Would love to have them to rip but have some reserve wax for those urges.

I think I bought that Bichette gold from you. It's in a good home and is well cared for.

Looks like Mike used the same pen for the auto that he used for FF.

If you wanna make a trade for it I’d be interested for sure. I have a sapphire Robert that I’d throw in. Let me know who you PC and I’ll see what I have

Ouch. Yea I listed at $399.99 BIN/BO. Within 2-3 hours I was getting offers at $225-250 so I juts removed the BO. Bin was hit a day or two later.

No complaints from me either.......I made about as much as I would have holding and selling boxes (Hit a Beiber auto I listed high that sold for around $300...a couple refractors that went for $70-80 of decent but not great players LouBob base RC's etc etc). I still have 3-4 Color cards and a box of base....will be fun to dig through the next few years.

I noticed that. Super streaky, would have to grade with PSA to dodge the BGS 9 or 8 auto grade

SMH.... A lot of his autos lately have been awful....!

Pretty happy with my box, even though it didn’t have a Robert! (582 Montgomery, 1 day shipping). Soto is 4/5; McKay is 1/50.

Extremely disappointed with Topps on this one.

Being in Canada, if I don’t pay for priority (1 day), I’m waiting 3 months to get my cards.

Paid $50 for shipping and still in the lovely processing phase on their site.

[lauriontj]

Man do these cards look good! Can’t wait for my box!

Paid for overnight. Crickets. Are they shipping 10 boxes a day or something?
