    Yeah that sucks but that's probably the new reality with Topps and Fanatics going forward

    I was in Walmart today and noticed they had a Topps baseball product, can't remember the name, but it costs like $75 and guaranteed 2 autos.


    edit: it was this. Any good or no?

    People don't seem to like it much, but I've had decent luck with it and buy a box or two here and there

    I wish the masses would get off the “ Prizm, Optic, Topps Chrome” are the end all be all. I think there are lots of sets out there that are just as good.

    Struck out on monopoly Prizm at target so I grabbed one blaster of Prizm baseball. These 4 were in one pack. J Rod is a silver and that insert is a green Prizm.

    Just a heads up on this one, the discount is credited as a discount code not a gift card so it can't be used with other codes or discounts

    Am I understanding that correctly --- spend $61 and get $100 in store credit basically (or whichever deal you choose)? And I assume that wouldn't include cards.

    edit: says apparel and accessories

    You can use on anything I think but can't be used with their promo code. The newegg gift card deal I think could be doubled with their usual sale. It does work on cards

    I've never used groupon before. Is the voucher code only good for one transaction? I didn’t see anything in the fine print and then I ordered one thing just to try it out (it worked for a small $30 order). But then when I tested it on another order it said the voucher code didn’t work. I did the $200 one and obv should have plenty left.

    I have no idea what I’m doing.

    Stadium Club Chrome was back in stock on Best Buy.

    Also, Scheels has them at $30 and does price match allegedly.

    I'm wanting to try and build a complete set(Thanks again for your help Fat Drunk & Stupid), so I've bought too many blasters tbh. Also planning on stashing a handful of them to hold for a bit as I think this rookie class will hold value.

    Yeah best card I hit was a Mike Ystremski /199. I still love the photos so I keep most of the cards.

    I may reach out to you once I get closer to completing my set.

    I think I've hit all the good RC's in the set, minus Julio. I still have one more hobby box I'm getting from the Mrs. in a few weeks too.

    Also, on topic of completing sets, did any of you ITT purchase very much regular Stadium Club? I'm not too far off on that set IIRC.

    lmao. Don't these fools realize that unproven prospects are in higher demand than future HoFers? He could end up with a 100+ WAR and his card would probably sell for less in 20 years than it would today.

    Every year when prizm comes out I forget why I don't buy it. 3 mega boxes with nothing really to show for it. No numbered cards, no autos, and mostly vets in cracked red ice.

    Yep, I bought two boxes and didn’t get shit. I think my best pull was a tyty Washington silver. Not even a good base rookie.

    I don’t buy baseball cards really but all this Bowman shit with football is hard to keep up with. All I know is I ordered a box of Bowman U. Best which apparently comes out today.

    *make that two boxes

    Bowman Best isn’t that popular on baseball side. And I believe 1st edition isn’t going to be around much longer.

    But to your main point, yea, it’s overdone

    Sorry if already discussed but how insane is the print run for Bowman 2023? I saved a few searches of the big names on eBay just to see what autos are going for and some of the parallels are absolutely ridiculous (Green Grass, really??).

    Also, any good resources on vintage and what to look out for? I've wanted a 1959 Topps Bob Gibson for awhile and there's a PSA 6 on Goldin right now that I'd pay over eBay comps on because it's an incredible looking copy, safe to assume it's trimmed or?

    Here's a good break down on Bowman.



    They got rid of some parallels to add the new ones but yeah, the print run has increased.
