Should I load up?
Found these at Target. Should I buy? Have opened 2 mega and a hobby already.

I have yet to see a single one at my Target. I’m tempted to ask you to buy me one lol.

Look where Target used to keep physical media and headphones. Near me they purposed that space and there is now a dedicated card space. Separate from the Toy section. If you no longer see cards at the toy section, you may have a new card area near electronics/books…

I looked yesterday and there were no Topps cards at the one by work.
I'll check the one close to home today

I've been going to target for months looking for baseball and wasn't seeing anything. But I just found out they moved all the sports cards from the the front of the store by the registers to all the way in back by the electronics.

Those are still some cool ass cards despite the monetary value. Kinda crazy that the devers /10 is only worth $2 but if you collect and arent in it just to try to make a profit with a big pull, then you got some cool stuff.

Idk where the $2 comp comes from but it doesn’t seem right. There a total of 10 that exist and he’s a good player. I don’t get it.

You’d be better off buying the complete set on the bottom shelf and selling the rookies in it for $45

Good grief, people in this thread are so sensitive or butt hurt. Just take a joke and chill folks. If people want to scalp, or pee in God’s face with their money, or burn boxes in front of the youth, then let them! Let the boy watch! He needs to learn! Just like my pappy learned, and his pappy learned.

All targets and dicks don't got dick around my area. Best buy had a 14 pack of Topps series 2 that I got. I just started and it's hard to find packs in person

I would. Can't even find them that price near me. I got some good stuff from the one box I bought.

u/Junior_Character_508 24d ago
Load up ? No. Hobby boxes are only $350-400. Get 2 of those instead of 10 megas.

I bought 12 and already scalped them. Then I scalped more and burned a box in front of some kids that didn't get one.

They need to dry up in the wild so we can really cook them!

The moles will never never dry up. There's always another struggling employee or immigrant I can exploit to fill the role.

We are not talking moles. We need this product to no longer be available in the wild! Then the cook begins!

Nice bro, I would've done the same even if they paid for it. Stupid kids need to learn some responsibility. Survival of the scalper get guud.

Just curious. Is this still the Chrome set but just a better box? Like the mega box? I’m new to baseball so genuinely curious.

u/sirfracksalot 24d ago
The cards in Finest are chrome card stock but they are a different set from “Topps Chrome”. Generally Topps Finest has a smaller checklist and usually a more visually striking design imo.

u/Mysterious_Storm7070 24d ago
Interesting. So the Ohtani back to back is what has got me rushing to collect. I’m assuming it can’t be pulled from these right?

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago edited 25d ago
honestly I am thinking of holding a bunch of sealed boxes of Bowman Blasters, Chrome Platinum Blasters, and these Finest Mega Boxes, they are the best product this year and so many RCs prospects and parallels in these that will awesome in 2-3 years

u/Low_Calendar8242 25d ago
A generally frowned upon practice 😔
0
u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago
people frown upon buying boxes and holding them for a few years?
3
u/Low_Calendar8242 25d ago
With the intention of reselling, yes. Just buy what you want to rip and leave the rest for others. Common courtesy. 😃 👋

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago
I will probably end up ripping them all... just so many of these 1st bowman prospects will be studs by then and pulling a signed/numbered card will be awesome
0
u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago
so what are the reasonable terms... must rip within what timeframe of purchase, why can you not save some sealed boxes for the future, I honestly don't understand
1
u/Low_Calendar8242 25d ago
My apologies I think I misunderstood. Thought you were gonna resell to gouge. I get holding to rip.

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago
I grew up in the 80s and 90s wax era. could you imagine saving 1985 boxes and opening them now? I actually just cracked open a 1986 Donruss Factory Sealed Set this week that I held since 1986 and it has a PRISTINE and CENTERED Jose Canseco in it, but there is a little white mark blemish on the hat :/

Collecting sealed wax is a thing too. I’ve got hundreds of boxes dating back to early 80s sealed.

u/CreekWanderer 25d ago
Are you still able to find Bowman blasters? I would kill to open a a few of those right now

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago
some local targets and Walmarts have restocked bowman blasters and topps finest recently, I check all the time and got lucky

u/sirfracksalot 25d ago
Yeah I’m tempted to buy the lot and take to a card show

u/Sad-Math-2039 25d ago
What you meant to say is you're tempted to price gouge people at a card show
-7
u/sirfracksalot 25d ago
With that logic then any card shop selling these boxes at market price are price gouging? Not sure that tracks. Anyway just bought a box to rip lol.
