2013 Topps Turkey Red at Blowout Cards going for....$62.95! Everybody try not to all at the same time go there to buy all those boxes at that cheap price! ha
I got an email for deal from blowoutcards.com today and was looking for anything that could spark an interest when I found this. They are selling Topps Turkey Red 11 Card Boxes for $62.95. Just last month you could buy directly from Topps at one point for a pre sale price of $19.99 to regular price of $24.99. My wife got a box for me even though I told her I didn't want one for a high price of $40 on Ebay. The cards and auto were cool, but I would only value those 11 items for about $10-15. The chances of hitting an auto that is going for over $62.95 plus shipping is almost zero. Most breaks I have read about found that almost 5 of 8 boxes were common autos. So if you bought 8 boxes now you would spend $504, and chances of getting multiple of the same autos and 80 base cards (I'm sure with many doubles also), you may get one auto that would be worth $50. For $504 you could hand build a set and buy maybe 8 or more good autos and still have some money left. I have seen some 1/1 autos go for higher, but I just seen a Felix Hernandez go for $53 on Ebay.
Either way, $63 is highway robbery for this product full of sticker autos of common players with just a very small amount of anything good. Another reason I sometimes I feel sick of collecting. Look at it this way, all those Topps Turkey Red boxes they don't sell maybe on their Black Friday Sale for a discounted price of $59.99!
Yeah, I group broke 10 boxes at pre-sale price. Ended up with a bunch of dupe autos (mostly Brewers, for some reason) but did pull two printing plates and a /10 Victorino auto.
ReplyDeleteThat was my number one concern after I seen the checklist was doubles and triple autograph odds.
