2012 Topps Series 1 - How much are you busting?

[BowmanChromeAddict]

I've got 12 Jumbo cases coming in.

How many are you planning on breaking?

None. I don't bust much hobby wax.

The hobby seem to be better than the jumbo because of the wrappers.

I'm going to be in the market to purchase a master set (base set and base inserts). If I can get the gold sparkle set at a reasonable price, I'll be interested in that too. Just FYI

Well that may be the case now. But that was only announced a week ago. I've had jumbo on order since November I think. Brent said to get jumbo, I got jumbo. I gotta trust him...he knows what he's doing.

None, no time to rip cases lately (too busy w/life + selling on amazon). Boring rip but very profitable as I've made $$$$$ on it every year I've ripped it. But, rip fast + sell fast + do presells to maximize profits. have you presold the sets? those have already dropped quite a bit in price.

I have only pre-sold one master set. I will be taking advantage of today's free listings to get that going. I didn't realize how early the presells would start. Live and learn.

just the traditional 2 boxes for Series 1. I just have to figure out if I want to pay a premium to buy my boxes pretty quickly after release or wait for a month or two to buy my boxes and save a little bit of money.

Looking to do a case. Who's got the best prices for HTA and Hobby right now?

But don't the extra Codes in the Jumbo more than make up for that?

4 Hobby cases (maybe...if they spike the first week, I'll flip them).

I've busted Jumbo in the past, but the wrapper packs and extra code cards make Hobby a better deal.

Jumbo = 60 code cards + 4 wrapper packs + about 9 base sets
Hobby = 72 code cards + 8 wrapper packs + about 12 base sets + more inserts for $100 more than Jumbo.

Jumbo has more relics/auto per case (36 vs 12), but those aren't worth much.

I'm busting 2 regulars (group break) and 1 jumbo for website.

and there are actually only 18 relic/autos in a 6 box jumbo case
and also why jumbos are better, Golden Relic cards are 6 per jumbo case as opposed to 1 per hobby case.
Could be a reason why Topps gives you more "wrapper" chances/cards because everyone wants jumbo..
You spend more with a regular case than a jumbo case..
