Who’s in?

If this sells out at any price it’s a total sham.

Way better product than Chrome Update Hobby for the same price

bradley9999 · 12-20-2022, 11:11 AM

I'm in at $40 a box. Just one box though. Ridiculous that the floor on this is $120.

Agreed. I think this might be the most uninspiring release I've seen in a long time. It gives me an early-90s Studio vibe but not nearly as good.

Yeah, it's crazy that, for the same amount, you could get Optic FOTL with 3 autos, a cracked ice /7, and 32 "base" /99.

Ended up getting a case at the floor. Agree that optic is likely better but last few optic fotl boxes have also been going for $200 or so.

Same, more comparable to Mosaic FOTL but still should be good for a small profit the first week it's out. It is more limited than either Mosaic or Optic FOTL at 1850 boxes which could help it initially.

Those are more likely than not fake sales. Big 3 have had them for $200 a box since they came out. I've tried listing and not even had a single offer. if you needed to sell Optic FOTL right now probably looking at $150-$160 a box.

Peachcardsatl · 12-20-2022, 02:32 PM

Exclusives for fotl being two orange cards numbered to either /18 or /19.

freddyb · 12-20-2022, 03:00 PM

I bought a box when it hit the floor. I like the way the cards look. It was inexpensive, and for me it will be fun. To watch his own.

So, what will you do with your Optic FOTL boxes if you can't sell them and aren't ripping them? Genuinely curious.

I can sell them and make about $10-$15 a box after shipping and fees. If I can't get around $175 a box after fees I'd rather hold for now. With how little there is to buy with everything being manipulated to no end it's not like I'm going to need money for new purchases any time soon.

Already received ship confirmation from panini. Fastest I have ever seen them ship

Same scheduled for Friday delivery but we'll see. Either way it will be nice to have these several days before Hobby street date since Hobby is going to tank big time once it's out.

Got my box and ripped it this evening. My opinion is the base and luxury suite cards are pretty high quality cards! Some of the inserts like deja vu are cool looking. My two autos were MEH. For $110 FOTL I think it was worth it. Has good potential if you hit some of the bigger names!

Here's my rip! https://youtu.be/uPfBlVkxtyU

This garbage looks like mid-90s Pinnacle

Peachcardsatl · 12-23-2022, 11:54 AM

Opened half a case yesterday and overall like the product for the price point. Biggest hits out of the first half of the case were a wander franco auto and an fotl Orange exclusive Aaron judge /18.

Cojo4412 · 01-18-2023, 02:50 PM

Just got my blaster boxes in from Target. 1 auto or mem card per blaster (aka you're getting a mem card). Frustrating thing is I don't think there are any base numbered parallels in the blasters. Only blue or gold non-numbered parallels.

A box of Boomo’s fingernail clippings has more value than TCU hobby.

I love the look of the front. I don't like how they are so thick, can they even fit into a top loader.
