The first wave is up. I feel like they’ve been trying to get rid of the 2016 TC Update Mega box cases since 2016.

Agreed! They have it on sale EVERY year. Seriously, how many cases of this do they have??

The case of 2018 Racing blasters for $100 is tempting.

Not sure, I never really got into the 1st Edition thing and I don't think many others did either. Just another way for Topps to milk more money out of people.

$5 a blaster with a memorabilia or auto per box, probably better than the Holiday Mega Mix.

Should be able to build the set. The auto checklist isn't bad. And you can get some nice looking relics with Racing.

And it doesn't feel like a kick in the junk if you end up with 20 $1 relics

Last two sold on ebay for around $17 (including shipping). I know there will be a rush of people trying to sell there though.

Bought a blaster case of racing. Feels like a cheap fun rip to build a set, and a chance for some alright auto's. Kind of cool.

Haha, I remember buying one of those a couple years back. Think I made a solid $10-$20.

For what it's worth, I purchased two 2017s and two 2019s last year. Got them for $75 per.

Sold 3 via eBay/FB and ripped one (2019).

They market was suddenly "flooded" with these so blaster case prices came down. NASCAR trading card demand is quite low too. Took time and effort to move them for a small gain. Have moved some singles over the last 365 days from the ripped case (roughly 10) but resale on singles are very low too.

Not gonna "kill it" from an absolute $ standpoint but low-risk, a little fun and potential to make a little gain over a couple months.

Doesn't help showing the $14.99 price in the pic so they are stil overpriced by about $60.
