Introducing the 2016 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition Complete Set (2 Superfractors Per)

[Lancemountain]

im not saying the resale wont be there. Im only saying that Topps had to pay very little for this since there are no autos or relics. I bet most of that $1500 a box is straight profit.

Oh I agree- I'm not defending this at all. I was just thinking out loud. If very few sell then the cards on the secondary market should sell pretty well. Until topps starts giving the packs out for redemption substitutions

It's high price may actually benefit the few who go for it. Could end up having a very low release amounts. Player and team collectors may see only a few cards pop up

Well there are only 250 sets to begin with so the amount won't change despite how many buy it.

250 of each card was produced, correct. Doesn't mean all 250 will make it to the secondary market. This has happened before with redemptions, eTopps, diamond giveaway ect and ect......

Ah alright, I see what you're saying.

Between this and Topps Mint, I think we've reached 'peak baseball card collecting'.

This is dumber than Vancouver real estate.

Im getting at least one set to break for singles...

 

[AnthonyCorona]

I'm thinking of buying all 250 sets

Can't. lol.. I already got one.

I guess I should have stopped thinking and started buying

 

[smapdi]

I'm sure it will all sell. There are enough people for whom $1500 is not impossible, given how limited it is. And I'm sure at least a few dealers, speculators, and breakers and will buy multiples. For $50, or $55 or $60 or $75, you could do a team break and I think you'd make it. I think there are a lot of people who would love to get a team set for $50 and pay $10 or whatever for a shot at a random "pack" that would include 1 or even 2 supers. If you did it randomly, or auction-style, I'm virtually certain you'd make up $1500 plus a little extra. At least if you were one of the first to get it going. The 10th or 15th break might be tough to fill.

But yeah, this could be something that unsold sets go on Black Friday sale for $999 or something.

except the superfractors would not be a full set, only 500 of 700
and the same with the golds since they have gold in chrome.

Or do a random team draw
