Thanks for helping to bring these to Costco.
I had to stop by the Costco by my work in Inglewood and picked up three of them.

Thanks for adding these. Appreciate that. Only suggestion would be maybe to remove the words oversized cards from the companion cards listing as it creates some confusion. Maybe just Flagship Collection Box Companion Cards. Not complaining. Just an idea. Thanks for adding

If anyone wants to send me cards from my wantlist or teams I like, I am happy to accept :) |

What an awesome job! I am so thankful Costco Is back in the card business. I have been complaining to my wife for 20 years about it. I have great memories as a kid back when it was Price Club of going with my mom and convincing her to buy me a wax box or ultra pro pages. Back then I remember getting Stadium Club, Leaf, Topps, and Score. I really hope Costco continues this as years go on. Also would be cool to buy Costco exclusive sets. I loved my 1990 Topps set I got there.

Good pickup.
You were quite right on the feels about S1 & S2. As I mentioned in previous comment these packs are (quite unfortunately) extremely poor filler, but not just from a set standpoint... but from a specific product standpoint. These packs are duds (insert ratios odds seem to be extremely high, and what is inserted is devalued - expired redemptions). Unfortunately, since the Fanatics acquisition Topps has shifted to obscuring and obfuscating actual insert odds. I am an MBA/marketing guy and from consumer mindset I actually believe those S1 and S2 packs are so poor they devalue the brand value of S1 and S2 product. To be quite honest I can't imagine Fanatics/Topps really puts too much effort into caring what baseball fans think of them (sadly). Let's just say from a customer satisfaction standpoint Costco and Fanatics/Topps are polar opposites.
Even removing the S1 and S2 packs and pinning the price point to 29.xx would have been acceptable. If Topps had insisted on $30+ price (perhaps to prevent undercutting other sales channels) point I definitely take 1 extra Update pack over those 4 filler packs... even at same price point $33.xx.
For your sake I hope your B2B Fanatics Corporate interactions is a more positive experience than my experiences B2C Fanatics. If its anything similar... THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking it for the "team" (collectors/consumers). Looking forward to seeing what product you can land for us in 2024!
(FYI - I'm in Seattle area here as well)
