Razor's Rookie Retro... why is the price dropping?

maxpower said:

Seems like the price is inching down on Blowout ... cases went from $1389 to $1350 to $1340. Hardly a huge drop, but why?

Product's not out yet and, without debating the merits of the product, people do seem interested in it.

Is it the predicted chance of hitting a $75 card for $250? That doesn't seem that different than your odds with Exquisite or Sterling.

The only thing I can think of is the lack of a checklist... any other ideas?

That makes sense. Was there already a spike in price from when it first released?

Because the Strasburg was hit 12 hours ago by a fat kid in Germany named Augustus Gloop :benson:

Don't really want to open a can of worms here but I am not sure why everyone is up in arms about the $75 card possibility. I can't even count how many $220 Sterling breaks return $40-$60, and Sterling lacks a single card worth over $10k, where as this product boasts at least 2 (maybe 3 or 4?), with a smaller print run.

Anyways... pre-orders fluctuate in price due to demand, so demand must be lower than expected. It'll be fun to see breaks of this soon.

Topps Sterling seems to be one of the worst breaks, maybe on a par with Triple Threads, ever. I recalled watching a Las Vegas dealer on Youtube open an entire case in his shop - I watched almost live as he put them up -- and I figured even if his cost was $200 a box, he had less than $400 worth of sellable goods and he lost about $1600.

I am considering a case of this stuff... because I love irony.

Not my intention, but no problem. FYI, Global (one of FCB's sponsors) has a price match function and I think they'd typically match or beat Blowout if you got in touch with them.
