Bowman Wrapper Update From Topps

[Jaypers]

What does everyone think sealed redeemed packs will sell for once they're live?

 

[LazerShow15]

I would like to add that I hope Topps makes it right with those who just missed the deadline. It is a catch 22, you open early and list cards you get busted, if you delay, then you get slammed by the big case busters.

Topps should not send packs to the people they rcvd empty packs from, b4 thurs or were shipped b4 weds, unless they were hand dlvrd(which isn't really fair either). That would fix some of this. It's BS, that people who were breaking their stuff on mon/tues, will be the people who get most of these packs. Topps should use this to punish the people who broke the street date, not reward them. If enough people call, topps will be forced to do something to make this right. Not sour grapes, my packs have been recvd and should be fine, I just think this is messed up.

I definitely will be calling, I agree totally with your statement sieb's. Making my own nickname for you.

I agree with you.

Bottom line, there's gonna be a lot of pissed off people when this is all said and done.

Since they're foil wrappers, maybe $10 - 12 per pack? Obviously, just a guess. What do you think?

I hope enough people speak up, it sucks that the big-rippers who get their product early are being rewarded while the average person like myself will probably get shafted.

I dont think they have anything to make right, they clearly said first come first serve. While the majority of collectors believe it would be 'nicer' to have spread the wealth a bit, the majority of big spenders would not agree with that at all. Do you tick off the majority of collectors, or the majority of your income?

We all knew that massive case crackers would have the advantage here.

Very few if any got product earlier than Tuesday. Wednesday was release. Any of you "small rippers" had the chance to bust on Wednesday and ship Wednesday or Thursday. The Big Rippers were still busting on Wednesday and likely didn't ship wrappers until Thursday or Friday. In my case I sent some Thursday, some Friday, and some more today. BrentandBecca didn't ship his wrappers until Friday and could get shut out entirely. Big Rippers were at a disadvantage unless they stopped and broke up their shipments. And even if somehow big rippers had some advantage, when doesn't the person with the most investment stand to gain the most when things go good? Isn't that the nature of a free market capitalistic economy?

I agree they dont have anything to make right. They're just follwong through on what they said.

I'll again say though that the program was an added value, and likely had very small amount of impact on how many cases those mass crackers cracked.

So it probably should have been done differently, and folks the masses have every right to bitch.

I was shorted two autos in my jumbo case and I couldn't ship my wrapper until today because I was out of town. I sure hope I don't get skunked on the redemption packs but it's looking like I will be.

Those who got theirs even a day earlier had a day advantage and that one day could mean all the difference for hundreds of buyers. That sounds more like insider trading than a free market economy.
