Chance to buy 2018 Topps Chrome Sapphire for 900.00

bravezfan4life · 09-13-2019, 10:07 PM

Seeing what Acuna and Gleyber rcs go for and you get them in every box with 3 Autos a box seems like I can’t lose with the price of 900 right???

I might be overthinking it but didn’t see much on this product when it was released. Looking for advice if you know something I don’t.

I don’t believe either Acuña or Torres were one per box.

I thought they were late adds and weren’t in their normal position in the box.

There are 700 cards in the set and only 100 base cards per box. No guarantees on the big boys. Check out Cardboardconnection.com for more info.

Yeah, no guarantees. I didn't hit either base RC in my box last year. Though I did hit Acuna auto.

Guess I should be glad I don't know them. I might have had to take that gamble.

Acuna and Gleyber were SP.... not even one per case.... the acuna auto only goes for $300 ish raw... you would have to get really lucky to make money

Pretty sure Albies autos were one per box(maybe not), it's like I saw him in every one opened here!

I guess technically he could have made money already if the breaker shipped the box sealed. The last post I saw from Blowout was they’re paying $1,000/box. $1,000 Friends & family minus shipping minus $900 = profit.

Good point

Interesting that the base goes for more than the auto. I will never understand this hobby

Unique situation, auto is a horizontal image that is not very appealing. And the base is the universally loved bat down image.

The auto is a garbage looking card. Pic is from a spring training game, horizontal, fielding, just ugly looking.
