@SCUncensored@ExpensiveRecs I think the point is that if there wasn't this Wave 1/Wave 2 antics and all 2500 cases were released at once, breaks probably wouldn't be priced that way. Obviously Topps can run their business the way they want, but they're somewhat manipulating the demand for now.
What a Mania. Despite all the commercials, and some of the criminally-abbreviated matches, there were some big moments which is what Triple H says he’s all about delivering. Pumped to keep going on this collecting journey.
@SoccerCardsHQ This is elite level content and the kind of cross-year, cross-brand thinking that I absolutely think the hobby needs much more of moving forward.
The ultimate guide to Lionel Messi case hits. If you have ever wondered how many Lionel Messi case hits there are I have the list you have been looking for. This includes print runs, PSA 10 numbers and comps. 👀

@WaxMetrix Loving the analysis, esp. in the context of baseball products. Topps is doing a great job with the EPL in it's 1st year having the license. The one caution I would say is that outside of the big 6 teams, singles prices generally don't support the print runs and cost of the wax.
I'd love for folks to understand that almost all arbitrations end in settlements and money changing hands. No widespread industry changes. No massive impacts to other consumers. That's why so many companies insert mandatory arbitration clauses into their TOS.
@SCUncensored@Topps It's crazy because they could actually make more money doing this as a blind reverse Dutch auction and just pulling the plug when it hits their floor price and shipping all of the rest of the unsold stock to breakers and shops.
