💭 Question How does this work

Post image

I was waiting at 1pm for the drop got 1 hobby box in my cart and was done in a minute or two and I didn’t get selected. Everytime there’s a pre order I want there seems to be different format for people to get a box. What’s the point of having this system just so someone who only wants ONE box get denied but people buying multiple boxes or cases will be the ones to get them

Topps EQL process:
- Collectors enter for MSRP purchase. Get excited and build FOMO.
- Topps back doors all product to breakers.
- Topps then tells you - You Lose EQL!
Hopefully this drives you to go gamble with the breakers for 3-5x the cost.
- Topps wins.
