Master of suspense.

First 3 boxes of Baller (MC) were eh. Got 2 in the public release. 4th box:

Then the last box, whoo. This is why we open

The white borders are strange. Numbered to /199 but not refractors.

And anybody who is buying this at $200+/box and thinks they're going to be able to stash it and/or flip it for a huge profit down the road is in for a rude awakening. The majority of the people buying this are non-soccer collectors looking for a quick flip.

Can't stand this this holier then thou attitude that you and YayNJ both have. I was discussing Foden rookies that I made a killing on and had that turd nugget stalk me in multiple threads.

Why would a collector like it? It has a low print run. 10k boxes. A great rookie class. There is a player or two in this class that I think will be a future face of the league. And players like Jude already doing well at such a young age. At $300 dollars with grading etc easy to make that back on box at $200 its a no brainer.

See my previous posts. Where are all those boxes being posted for the quick flips?

JD Martinez Green #/99

Are these Baller boxes producing any ROI?

There is almost ZERO buzz about this from soccer collectors. High end guys and breakers are even making fun of it as a product but you are right it does have some value. The biggest thing going for it right now and why there could be value is there is no new soccer product at all so it may take advantage of that.

There’s zero buzz because it’s hard to get. Why would a breaker pump something he can’t break? This product is going to do just fine and the low numbered stuff will do very well for these “high end” collectors.

Do you think they will want a regular chrome red refractor with a nasty notch in the back or a Aoki with a shot at a 10?

I'm interested in a response to this as well. The breaks look pretty solid.

Looks like BB bought most of his stash.

worldtravel00 · 10-21-2021, 10:28 PM

Received my 2 BB Chrome boxes.

Opened 1st box:
D Willians Blue /75
D Carlson Green /99
G Springer Green /99

I was expecting more colors than I got. Chrome Lite had a lot more colors.

Thankfully, the box also came with Albert Pujos Auto Gold /50...

Planning to leave 2nd box unopened.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Opened the RIP box

R Deevers /99 --> D Jeter /50
A Kaline /99 --> J Soto /40
J Baez /50 --> J Abreau /40
H Aaron /25 --> Kept it

Why would he have to sit on them for years when he said card dealers were begging him for boxes for $450.

CWalston108 · 10-21-2021, 11:46 PM

Opened 1 of my Ben Baller boxes.
