Blowout Dominates Black Friday Again

[@SharksfanLA]

It’s interesting to listen to you walk through your rationales for what you bought. I looked at the prices and thought, sure if money wasn’t an issue that would be fun to buy and rip/hold. Looking forward to seeing some of what you bought in the RCEB. Have a good one and thanks for sharing.

[@Philmington]

Thanks Neal, appreciate it. Every June/July I start planning/saving for November. But like you said, bulk buys of modern retail aren’t for everyone. You need to have a plan for how to monetize it, which based on the product can range from difficult to very difficult.

Poor Phil is freezing his ass off in his storage shed for the sake of content. You're the best mang 👑

Showing off the new jacket. Also a Black Friday pickup!

Lol!

[@TheCardDeal]

No sh!%, I had to hold the damn camera and all I had was a hooded sweatshirt

[@roseaugatzke7877]

the bottom line is is that these elevated hobby versions of product are NOT SELLING EITHER.......

[@bdingsdale]

Love the content, Phil! Thanks. I loaded up on 2022 Topps Update hobby from blowout.

[@Philmington]

Well done

[@chrisc4264]

Issue with Blowout is they wont take MVP buybacks in mail. Crappy anti collector move by them. I still went ahead and bought one 22 Update Jumbo at $175. Hard to pass up at that cost. Dave and Adams though I managed to get 23 Chrome Jumbos and other stuff with the buybacks. 18 Update stuff too pricey for me to go get. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Still luckily have over 80 boxes of 2018 Bowman boxes btwn blasters wnd Megas stashed away.

[@Philmington]

I saw they made that change this year. In-store only. D&A would be my preferred place to shop, all else equal. Customer service is solid. Good stuff. I picked up some 2017 TCU also which is solid (small checklist) but lots of good autos that are expired reds.

[@joelkaplan2157]

Philmington i love the bowman chrome npb 2021 product smart buy $$$$

[@Philmington]

Actually it was 2022… first year of Bowman NPB though with licensed 1sts, and with guys that could be hyped/relevant 3-5 years from now. An alternate MILB almost. The downside (other than no autos) is the talent is heavier on pitching.

Looking forward to the high end rc explosion box. I know it will be fire.

[@Philmington]

Absolutely! 🔥 Tentative lineup has most of the packs being first-timers in an RCEB product

[@chrisc4264]

What about the regular subscription box? Hopefully the regular ones aren't bad in December either

[@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin]

Great recap! Sounds like you scooped a lot! I grabbed a handful of the 2018 update blasters, but that was it for me.

[@Philmington]

I think you’ll be happy about that. No black parallels (or clears) in retail, but almost everything else is fair game!

[@tonyballard9256]

Thanks for info, I picked a lot of blaster items in small quantities. Noticed your observation that most 'good' deals were not supported by prevoius sales and I'm guessing when I try and sell Blowot will compete with me which is strange but guess thats how they keep prices within range.

[@Philmington]

2018 TU I especially liked because I believe Acuna and Soto’s markets have room to rebound in the short-term… and of course Ohtani isn’t at an all-time-high anymore Unrelated but what also motivated me on the 21 NPB TC is that D&A had it on their buy list at the time for $245 (BO was selling it for $100)

[@tonyballard9256]

I got some 21 NPB TC. Went big on 2015 Panini USA hobby boxes, earlier this week pulled Volpe patch/auto, believe it’s first card ever and some other good prospects as well.

[@Philmington]

@@tonyballard9256 ohhh interesting. I did get some 2013 EE not not the 2015 USA 🇺🇸

[@Cenlaweather]

I grabbed some 2018 update, and a few 2023 bowman chrome megas. Didn't go crazy since I'm just in it to rip some. Thanks for the wrap up on what you did.

[@Philmington]

I considered the 23 BC Megas- good stuff!

[@thekeithy4999]

As soon as I saw those 2004 Topps boxes on the shelves I got distracted big time.

[@Philmington]

Big Yadier fan?

[@thekeithy4999]

Absolutely. I try to snatch those up when they're at auction on eBay, which is crazy rare nowadays.

[@rara1996]

Any 1988 Topps Cases back there?

[@Philmington]

Yes. All BBCE Auth.

[@jakobtheurich]

So the prices of the products go up as they sell a certain amount of them?

[@Philmington]

They play all sorts of games. That’s one of them. Often you’ll get a heads up when quantity is running low. I.e. “2 cases remaining” at this price.

[@AbelinVegas]

The Allen and Ginter 2022 price was good. I still passed but almost pulled the trigger.

[@Philmington]

Yep. Witt and JRod markets being kinda soft made me feel decent about it.

[@teddo997]

I've been buying the bowman draft 22 lite boxes

[@Philmington]

@@Philmingtonlet’s cut to the chase!!! I think what we all want to know is when are the Highly Anticipated Philmington 2ez Repacks going to be available for purchase???

[@tonyde9286]

What’s your opinion on 2022 topps update jumbo at $175?

[@Philmington]

I think regular hobby is a better buy at $100 if you’re opening it. But if you’re considering that then hangers at one-sixth the cost of hobby might be your best bang for your buck. When it comes down to it, all are good prices depending on what you’re using it for.

[@Philmington]

Considering where prices were 1-2 months ago

[@tonyde9286]

@@Philmingtonthat’s my problem. I have a terrible time holding. I hold then out of nowhere I get a wild hair up my ass and rip it all open. lol it is so hard to sit on it for long time.

[@chrisc4264]

​@@PhilmingtonOr you could get both hangers and hobby just like I did. Still feel 23 Chrome has a deeper rookie class but I love 22 Update also

Not really any great deals............no deals on the HOBBY VERSIONS of product that's still overly elevated in price.......we are talking basketball products.............sales were on garbagey bottom feeder JUNK.........found ONE good deal all month
