How much did it drop?

 

[coltsnsox07]

Re: Leaf Best of Baseball Presell Prices Went Down

Cases were $649 now $624.99, boxes went from $228 to $219.99. I thought with them shipping this week, prices would go up perhaps.

Not trying to push buttons at all believe me. But if you're dropping 1300.00 on 2 cases, does losing 50.00 really factor in?

Any breaks go down yet. Isn't this live this week.

Leaf does a great job in getting the product in dealers hands the same day. This way no one gets it earlier then others.

It has shipped and will be out Wed or Thursday

Re: Leaf Best of Baseball Presell Prices Went Down

Has a checklist been released?

 

[Uofo2212]

Re: Leaf Best of Baseball Presell Prices Went Down

Are they making more cases or did it just not sell like they thought? Aren't there only 17 people on the checklist for the cut/ slabbed half of the pack?

Re: Leaf Best of Baseball Presell Prices Went Down

I think the price drop is becuase the product blows. You have a very, very good chance of busting a box and not even making half your money back. Here's a good rule of thumb I wish companies would follow: If an individual is still alive, they SHOULD NOT have a cut signature. Half the cut sig checklist is players who are alive and well.

That's true of all products.

Re: Leaf Best of Baseball Presell Prices Went Down

I know it's not a significant drop but it just surprised me that it happened is all. I'm still really looking forward to getting them. As far as the cuts go, it just seems like a little bonus to the main card, just like the razor autos were in RRR. The main course is still the slabbed card.

With all respect, how do you or anyone else know if it blows?

There is no checklist.
At this point, only I know what is in the product.

Once you open some (obviously not happening), feel free to come on and share an opinion based in fact rather than speculation.

p.s.- cuts of living people and stickers of living people are the same thing. The only difference is the transparency of the medium.

Hey.

Where are your NPNs, you're like 10 products in, and I haven't seen a single NPN yet all the sales sheets say CHECK THE WEBSITE.

I eagerly await entering these as I've been waiting since the Strasburg Super product.

Re: Leaf Best of Baseball Presell Prices Went Down

Cut signatures of living players blow. That IS fact. Good luck with the product, Brian. I have liked most of what I have seen from Leaf thus far, but don't act like cut signatures of living players are anything other than garbage. They aren't even close to sticker autos. They are simply a lazy and cheap way to get autos into a product.

With all due respect, of course my opinion is speculation. But it is, again, an opinion. And I will stand by what I said. If there is no checklist, what are these "lists" of players that I see on the internet that are supposedly checklists? Are they completely innacurate?

And no, I won't be busting any of this product, as I don't believe there is nearly enough value in it to justify the cost. I do have friends that are busting it, and I will be watching. Of course some people who bust the product will get some incredible pulls, but the majority will not. And, of course, this is true of every product. But I think this product will be a dissapointment, and I think the price drop is an indication of that.

Re: Leaf Best of Baseball Presell Prices Went Down

Well, if the product sells-out, it wasn't a disappointment. These types of products will always have their detractors, but anyone buying knows that they will most likely lose a bit on it. It's a complete gamble and the buyers know this.

Do me a favor. Call Lady Gaga and tell her Ill pay her $1000 per signature to be in Pop Century. Then tell her I will mow her lawn for 6 months if she'll do the deal too.

See, I am neither cheap not lazy.

In this case, I can do a deal with Maddux, Aaron ,etc and raise factory cost $20-30 box OR I can use cuts and provide better value to the collector.
Ill chose providing better value for $500, Alex.

Theory, I do appreciate your opinion as it is well thought out and based on what IS known, rather than what is not.

p.s.- I love when collectors tell manufacturers they are cheap and lazy. Trust me, one week doing what we do to get deals done and make compelling products, you would be in awe (rather than judgment).
