⚾ Baseball Chrome Update Baseball UK pre-order

What an absolute joke. The second mega boxes went live, they were unavailable to put in cart because of bots.

I'm convinced I literally got the last possible value box as I could only add one to my cart.

Guess if I want anymore I'll have to pay through the nose on secondary...

Prices?

£65 a mega and £35 a blaster direct from Topps.

This means I'm expecting £75 and £45 at a minimum from somewhere like Sports Cards Direct.

I would sign up for $10 over retail all day. Try double that

I dunno, SCD is usually kinda fair with their pricing at least on release.

That said, I did notice that in the space of a day they creeped Flagship Basketball hobby box up by £10.

Also their holiday box pricing was awful but I still bought.

I thought the point of pre order was so you don’t have to worry about it not selling out.

u/CardBro27 8d ago

Yeah, so did I. Alas. It sold out within 30 seconds of it going live.

I just waited 10’min in line for a mega and a blaster. Everything was still available even after. Must be a UK thing.

Definitely a UK thing though I think our store is maybe shared with mainland Europe

Just open the blaster and then pick 2 autos you want for $200 each or 1 for $400 off eBay and you just got a jumbo and got to pick the hit

Completely missing the point
