A big difference on flipping everything quick, that's what I was saying boo hoo at. Ripping for yourself? A couple extra days wait is not worth any level of rage much less what's going on in this thread.

For those that are upset about the shipping notifications, watch the first 3 min of this video. These guys really put it in perspective. Topps has good intentions for the little guys, and probably have a lot on their plate. They’ll get this shipping thing under control.

It's a little of both. I plan on ripping and selling what I don't want to keep.

If I can get the box quick, sell junk for top dollar to get my $250 back, and keep the stuff I want, that's ideal. The quicker I get it, the easier this is.

Why do those 3 guys remind me of Trailer Park Boys?

Bubbles, Ricky, and Julian in that order.

Hysterical.

Tatis just went unsold for $150. Dropping quick.

Was it the die cut?

The fact that a base card of a 2nd year player is even over $20 is a shock to me.
Don't get me wrong, I love these high prices, but it is just dumb to me.

All you rippers hit me up if you pull an Orange Miguel Cabrera please.

Thanks!

Shocker. Anyone who holds this is nuts. It's dropping to whatever price actual baseball collectors will pay for these singles, which isn't much. It will be quick and steep

Same, I have already covered my buy in on a few base cards and a gold Nico. It’s wild but I’m enjoying watching this

Phil’s Luis Robert vase at auction is at $355 with 11 minutes left.

I sold the Tatis. Again, I hate doing it because I’m totally against the race to the bottom. That said, I’d rather have $120 than be left holding next week when they’re $75. Then again, I could be the dummy that sold for $120 when they next one again goes for $225.

Yep just more fabricated scarcity.

[justin80]

I hope I get this junk in the mail soon so I can flip before it hits rock bottom.

[RichardGasner]

Yay! Shipped!

Yeah, everyone should have sold Finest Flashback immediately. They would have been crazy to hold longer term.

Ripping. The answer hasn't changed.

Seems like the race to the bottom has begun early. We barely 2 days in

Baseball collectors want Finest. Baseball collectors don't want Ben Baller. Crash is coming hard and fast. Everyone in this thread is making the right move to flip immediately

Aren't you the same person that said 2019 TCU would be on shelves for months and it was a dead product?

Aren't you the same person that was in the Acuna thread saying he was overpriced at $100 because "you could have been picking them up for $50"?

Excuse me if I (and others, I'm sure) don't listen to your expert advice regarding the baseball card market.

[Sbrown3583]

Pretty easy to spot the ones who weren’t able to buy a box. Lol

That was my listing. I saw one had gone for $200 so I figured starting at $150 with a 24 hour auction would be a good move.

I'd never done that before so it was a bit of an experiment... and it failed.


I was never into this product to begin with, but when I won the lottery I bought my box to see for myself. Was even more unimpressed with it after opening. So I'm trying to sell all but a handful of cards.

Have already taken in a little over $100 after fees and still have a lot of the bigger cards left.

This is EASILY the hardest I've ever tried to do a quick rip and flip. I gotta say I don't like it.
