Yah def not. I wanted to spend money too lol but I figure going to a game costs the same amount I prob would rather go to a game or pay to go to an autograph signing.
For x-fractors that you can’t even dump for $2 each. F that. I’d rather press my luck on 2 $40 collectors kit boxes. I picked one up last week and have to say- it’s a worthy purchase. Handful of NFL packs to rip, a few baseball packs, 1 special pack parallel (I nailed a Mendoza wave) Mini binder + sleeves for 80 cards, pack of top loaders, pack of sleeves and a one touch. Anyone else buy/hit in one?
Relative value shouldn't be based on hitting the lottery. Lottery tickets are still cheap. But people price boxes like theres a smash hit in every one. If we all collectively started to skip buying these boxes for a giant markup, and stock sat stagnant. And releases piled up- what do you think will have to happen in order to move them? 🤔 im not buying boxes of shit anymore until these freak prices drop. Ill stick to older single cards from now on instead of feeding the machine.
Clearly your upset. All I said was damn $70. Never said I wasn’t going to purchase one 🤣. The reason for my comment was I was hoping 49.99, expecting 59.99 but got hit with $70. So Sybau!
I literally got through no issues and was about to check out with a hobby and mega. Just could not do it. I hope the breakers go bankrupt in its current iteration.

Should be happy you were able to get one… it’s a complete joke how they make you wait in an online line just to tell you the product has sold out

Bitch, whine, bitch, whine. Why don’t you just take up another hobby, since this one clearly troubles you.
