2012 Bowman Draft just blew up

lisu · Jan 3, 2013

I bought 6 boxes last week at $53 a box. They're now up to $65 a box. Crazy! Spring Training hype?

yup, just got quotes and a few places are out of hobby and jumbo

The online retailers just price them at whatever they feel like. Blowout usually starts the trends. Or they were on "sale" last week and now they're "regular" price. I wouldn't bite either way until a case is about $575.

I've also noticed prospects really starting to take an upwards turn

Actually - that isn't true. I've just talked to my friend, and he said that they're all up across the board. There are buys out there for $700 a case. It's not just BO. I've been waiting for them to drop below $600.

I have noticed a lot of the prospect autos have been going up on eBay.

I have a feeling some of the big boys are hoarding large quantities of this stuff. It can't truly be running dry already (at least the hobby version, Jumbo maybe). The prospect class doesn't really warrant the new prices, at least not yet.

cases are trending upwards

lots trying to buy in the high 6's

one case for sale at $750

This always happens as supply dries up on that product.

I am willing to bet that Blowout, etc bought 100-150 cases and jumped their prices. Setting the damn market, for no reason....

There is always a sweet spot when buying prospects after a product comes out. We have officially left it.

This post is worthless without a picture

I'm sure in a year they'll be cheaper, just like every other 2012 Topps case
