I was able to get a couple of Mega boxes during the Signature NBA preorder. Hopefully I will be able to do the same next week when the Signature NFL preorder drops. Also picked up three NBA Hoops hangers boxes yesterday before the pre-order ended and a 5-card pack of the Topps Now Flagg ROY card. Even if they are all base cards they will be nice to have.
I have quickly learned how important these pre-orders are to getting product at the release price before they hit the secondary market. I have also learned how important it is to be patient and not get too caught up in the FOMO if the only product available is at secondary market prices. Based on what Topps has on their Release Calendar, it seems like there is always going to be another product release around the corner.
I impulse bought 10 of the Flagg ROY cards. Maybe I'll grade one and sell to Blonde Coffee Beans to make my money back, lol.
You're very right about the preorders. I've been able to at least get blaster and hanger boxes, but I think the bots get all the mega boxes. The chrome football megas should be available Friday. I know you'll have to get your order in right at 11am to have a chance.
It'll be interesting to watch the basketball market. New releases are fun but I hope they avoid the mass production mistakes of the 90s. So far, every release is flying off the shelves. I thought maybe Bowman would sit a while it also seems to be selling. Topps (Fanatics) really lucked out with their timing and this being Flagg's rookie year.
