Try standing behind someone at the supermarket purchasing food for the week to feed a family of 5 or more. Those groceries are necessities to live. If anyone has disposable income to spend on these boxes, more power to them. It's a lottery ticket only you get better odds on three fifty dollar scratch offs as clearly stated on the backs with the average being better than a 1:3 ratio with the chance to score five million.

All these high cost, 4-6 card boxes is what's hurting the industry. I was looking at topps inception, and was looking for a good deal on singles. A family member was looking for J-rod cards. Found two Julio auto cards from inception numbered to 125 and 199, and got them both for less than the price of 2 boxes of randoms.

Thanks for the video. I hear the general consensus being down on chrome black. I get it. It is overpriced. But I think average return is about 20% these days on Topps products in general. As someone who has thousands of cards, I’m not opening many flagship or heritage boxes anymore to get a $2 reliever patch. This is a bigger price, but comes through just as often in my opinion. And far more than the $500+ stuff.
