Ben sounds a little defensive on Twitter

Corey Brill@brillythekid

Were a lot more made this year or is there no demand?

BEN BALLER™ @BENBALLER

I have no clue. HIGHLY doubt demand is low. Hobby shops asking me to buy for $450 a box. Nobody knows when it dropped. Topps didn’t tell me or anyone. I think most thought it would drop at 9am. I couldn’t add it to my cart. Still can’t.

Weaker rookie class, weaker design compared to last year, Ben Baller hype from P20 is gone now. Hypebeasts packed up their bots and took it to greener pastures.

Add to the block list and do not buy from: danicalifornia1337

Cancelled two box preorder on MLS Sapphire. Tried to pull the "box came dinged badly do you still want?". I asked for pics to see the damage. Proceeded to go silent for a few days and cancel.

Well I bought my 4th box just now.
Not sure what I'll do with them, but won't get to touch them for several months anyways, as they will be sitting at ShipMyCards storage for a while...

Can you explain ship my cards to me? What's the purpose?

They are basically a forwarding company.
I only use them because I'm temporarily in Japan now (for maybe about 6 months) before I go back to the States.

They have an Arizona and Oregon address (storage), and Oregon is tax free, while their fees are higher.
There's (sort of) a break-even price point for an item to use Oregon vs. Arizona address explained below.

The fees do add up, an I honestly have not calculated specifically how much it will be at the end, when also including the outgoing fees.
I don't really recommend it unless you are shopping from out of US, or using them as a temporary storage for cards/boxes.

---
Arizona Address:
$2 per card
$5 per lot
$5 for a box of Cards
$5-$20 per large Item
$20+ for extremely large items
Oregon Address:
$5 per card
$8 per lot
$10 for a box of Cards
NO Large items without prior approval.
All items from Oregon are forwarded to Arizona everyday.
---
We also charge $3 per outgoing mail request for our supplies/time. This is on top of the actual shipping price.
We do not charge additional for keeping you items here longer or have any time limit of when you must ship home. We also do NOT have any type of membership fee. Our pricing is made to be simple for all collectors and ourselves! $2 per card or $5 per lot, +$3 if forwarding from Tax free address, with the $3 outgoing mail.

Please check out the Terms and Conditions for more Information.

What is the benefit of shipping to Oregon?

The state or Oregon does not have sales tax. Arizona's State sales tax is 8.8%. Therefore, the break even point for the additional $3 forwarding fee would be about a $35 purchase for single cards. This is only required on websites that are required to collect state sales tax such as eBay. So, the Oregon address should just be used for items $50+ bought on ebay. All other items purchased elsewhere (Facebook, Instagram, box breaks, blowout) should all be sent to the Arizona address in addition to lower priced items on ebay. We recommend storing both of the ShipMyCards' adresses in eBay if you purchase both lower and higher end cards.

Don't forget that a lot of people got shafted last year on parallels. If 5 is guaranteed then that's great but I believe it was Phil that didn't hit a single parallel in his box(es).

That is the assessment right now. But does it have the potential to be different 2 or 3 years down the road? It's not impossible.

Because they are conditioning us, so when they increase MC memberships 100 fold next year, we are used to the 1 box per account.

No idea what he's talking about, just added 3 to my cart, went all the way to make payment, without any issues whatsoever.

Of course, I didn't purchase. No desire to buy these at $240 per.

Now it says the max you can purchase is 100, so don't go over that.
