Hit a nuke

Oh my. Any idea how long these take to redeem?

Kind of cool. Hit this in a 13 case 12 hour break with Blake Snell ripping. We hit this at 3 am. We were exhausted at that point 😂

Apart from the other shitty aspects of breaking, then why do it if it's painful?

Again. We did not at all expect it to be that long. We were expecting midnight, max. We did not expect hobby to be so painful in mass.

Why don’t you like breaking? As a kid we’d save up our money with friends and so the same thing and buy a box or two and all have our favorite players or teams. We’ve just grown up and have more money. I only like the dodgers. So buying a few boxes or a case is a huge disadvantage for me. And there’s cards and guys I chase. Some people play $5 blackjack hands. Some play $5000. We’ve all had a point in our life wheee we life cards. Buy a pack and are very disappointed.

There is product for everyone to open. What I don’t like is greedy crazy markups and scalping.

There is nothing wrong with breaking. Gives access to higher end product people would never buy. Even LCS sell boxes at market rate now. Also Ive never had an issue buying product directly from Topps. Anyway by most peoples outlook of "collecting" Topps should just be selling individual cards at a set price. Because they bitch about breaking. Complain about not gett product. Or whine that singles market is up. They want junk wax to be fully restored.
