Bowman jumbo case- $1350

Congrats to those who pre-ordered. I'm not sure what the expected profit margin/loss is for case breakers at this price point. I'm going to pass on this product, but Blowout should make about $500-$600 a case.

$500-$600? Try about $700+ per.

The thing is, once cases start getting broken, this stuff will go up even further, especially because no one is going to want hobby. Expect $1500 or more at some point. Once people see the color and 3 prospect autos/box, the demand for jumbo will be insane. Meanwhile, they'll be giving hobby away on your local street corner.....

Really depends on the odds of hitting one of the big boys.

i dont 100 percent agree who knows what they put in hobby or jumbo, they could have loaded the hobby with the darvish autos and or blacks or supers yes the odds are better in jumbo 100 percent.

?????i guess In a stretch, partly true, but they have group autos, and unless Darvish is in some secret group, they didn't save them all for hobby.

Besides, In a hobby case you won't even get a rookie auto half the time this year.

I'm still ripping my 4 hobby cases this year and selling the jumbo. For as bad as the odds are, hobby was still over $100 cheaper per case this year if you bought in early, and the wrapper redemption has a chance to provide much additional value. I'm guessing a smaller profit for sure, but a profit nonetheless.

if they paid original factory prices for every case they ordered but odds are they did not, considering they sold out at least 10 times
its the master distrbitiors that might be making the killing

I'm thinking about two more Jumbo cases at the $1200 price point. Let me know if your case looks as good as the odds say it should. (I need to offset the beating i'm going to take when I try and flip my hobby cases

Maybe a tad early to pronounce Hobby DOA?
