So when series 1 comes out I’m going to want to rip rip rip. But I want to wait up until the complete sets come out and just buy it then. So can somebody give me some good reasons to not buy and product and wait until the complete sets come out.

Save you a whole crapload of money. A crapload.
Money that you can put to needs. I've found a way to be patient and wait to just get the FS and put the savings from there to other needs. Plenty on my W/L.

Even better. If you’re not picky about it, I’m pretty sure you can pick up hand collated sets for 40 bucks or so?
As far as not ripping, I can’t help with that. I like to go for the retail parallels so probably going to be ripping quite a bit.

Yeah, I would just do the math and see how much a factory or hand-collated set costs compared to how many boxes of packs of cards you anticipate you would normally buy. If the tens or hundreds (or thousands?) of dollars entices you more than a bunch of mass-produced inserts or parallels, then maybe that might get you to hold off.

Buy 6 boxes of pop tarts - I suggest blueberry, strawberry, wild berry. Open the boxes, take out all 12 foil packs. Mix them up. Rip. You’ll get a feeling of surprise and a tasty treat while saving $150. You can thank me by mailing me a box of pop tarts. Or cards. Your choice.

...or you can do what I do and avoid buying product or sets all together and just trade for the entire set here on TCDB. I'm still knocking out 2023 update but have completed all of the 2022 and 2023 Topps Flagship sets this way.

Would be curious to see how much postage comes out to be doing it that way.

I did do it with 2023 Update. I think it was 6 trades and 12 total 2 oz PWEs. So 10.80
