while the picture of the box may be retail, it shows all hobby specs such as strasburg auto, etc.

That's what they've had all along. And interestingly, MLBshop.com has continually raised the price of this box as they restock...

dont do it at any price.
was lucky to get my one case at 474
after they porked me on the second,
and i made about 50 bucks with 7 stras chrome
and a harper ref. it is a risky prop.

Yeah, I ordered a case and it got "porked" as well.

I still think it's worth it at the original case price. . . but Blasters (1/3 box) aren't a great deal at $20 per - so $60 a box is a "decent" deal... $72 plus shipping, not so much.

I just went to Dicks since they use the same "stock" as MLB and bought 12 boxes from them for $778 shipped using the 15% off coupon.

So under $65 a box shipped. Only downside is it said expected delivery of late July.

Looks like someone bought the last 5, hopefully from here...

So what are my odds of receiving sealed cases? The retail boxes come in 6 box cases that is why I went with 12.

my retail case was 12/24 and it was sealed from topps.
u paid a lot, good luck with that rip, although you might do better
selling the boxes to the mad rippers !!

I may have paid more then the price when the product first released but I wouldn't call $65 a box a lot for these. They are selling for $110-130 a box.

Has anyone else that bought boxes from MLB and/or Dick's tried calling about the expected delivery date? I am confused how my boxes show as "Items located in stock" and it says expected delivery of 7/13-8/2. I was going to call this evening to see if I can get any other info or speed up the process.

I would MUCH rather have 4 jumbo packs than one retail box. Allincards is selling them and he still has some in, retail
has been spotty at best and you have no chance at a Stras auto.

i got mine immediately, and i only meant you paid a lot for what they are really worth.
since so many stupid people are confused about whats in them, yes you will get 100+ per.
if all buyers on earth knew you couldnt really get anything, these would not sell for much.
we can thank topps and dishonest sellers for confusing everyone.

I agree, they are not nearly as good as hobby in any way, that is why I was worried about trying to get them ASAP to sell. On the other hand, I have to think that the hobby boxes will be completely drying up soon and people will still want to open something.

I didn't buy these to open, I bought them because they were $61.19 a box each plus tax.
