Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

I received my typical Jumbo box, ordered off eBay, going through the site link here of course. (Ouch! 80% price increase from Series 1.) As I've mentioned several times before, I always put together an extra team set of the Royals and Cardinals, AND a Royals Gold card team set. I would appreciate your consideration if you have extra base cards from those two teams, Royals Gold cards or any Royals inserts you'd like to trade (preferred) or sell.

 I imagine I'll have a few inserts and parallel cards available for trading.  I'll try and get them entered on my For Sale/ Trade list in the next couple of days.

Thanks a lot for any help you can provide.

I'd be curious to know how yours turns out. I bought a hobby box over the weekend and just finished sorting it and uploading my trade and want lists.

I typically get nearly a full set out of a hobby box. This time, I was over 100 cards short and got over 100 doubles. I haven't seen a box this bad in 10 years or more. I truly hope your experience is better. I'll keep you in mind for trades as I do Tigers instead of Royals.

I got two hobby hoxes and don't even have a complete base set and some cards I have around 4 extra. Makes me not even want to go that route next time.

Any cards you don't have, check out my FS/FT list and maybe we can work something out.

Same boat as the two above. I bought two hobby boxes ths past weekend and still need 30 cards to complete the base set, with a stack of doubles just as high as the base set cards. Some of those doubles being a 3rd or 4th of the same card.

Anybody count how many cards they got in their jumbo packs?. None of my packs out of 2 jumbo boxes had more than 44 cards. Each pack states "46 Cards" (packs with a special insert may contain 39-44 cards). One of my packs that contained a thick manu-relic card had only 38 total cards.

I've been counting my packs as I open them.  (I've only opened 3.) 46, 46 and 47. 

I got my autograph.  Anyone interested in a Brandon Lowe?

I got my autographs too. One was Jay Davis (Giants). The other was a Pete Alonso Draft Day Medallion autograph #'d 7/10. Funny thing is, according to The Cardboard Connection, it should be #DDMA-PA but it is #DDM-PA. And the back does have the text "The signing of all Topps autograph cards is witnessed by Topps representatives to guarantee authenticity". "DDM-PA" is the card number of the regular Draft Day Medallion card without the auto.

Topps does that not quite as much as Panini, but they're catching up. CC only publishes what Topps feeds them. 

I had better luck with my hobby box. No base dupes and I need 42 to complete my set.

My box hit was a 1985 Jose Altuve relic. There is an unintentional error on the back -- it says that this is a relic from 2020 Topps Series 1.

My jumbo box left me 13 cards from the set. I say 14 becasue my Luis Robert is damaged.  The bottom left edge is crimped, like it was caught in a machine.  My auto was a red 1985 Lewis Thorpe/25   $150 for a box for $50 in value for all the cards.  I may have to get over my addiction of ripping packs and just buy completed sets if the pricing gets any more out of hand.  My LCS owner told me that 2 of his other customers did that.  They heard the price increase and just asked him to complete a set for them.
