The exact same thing happened last year so not surprised. The price jump per box from 2023 is just crazy.
Small box went from $25 to $40
Collector's box went from $200 to $330.
The in the cart checkout time is very misleading. Though the item/s are in the cart, this release sells out within 3 to 4 minutes. Therefore, if you're not within the 3 to 4 minute wait check out time range you will miss out. At this point, there really was no reason to have customers in line for at the 5 minute mark let alone a 8 minute wait time when it had already sold out.
The Shoebox release looks enticing but once I saw you go over the auto checklist the price just went up in my head considerably.
Hopefully Topps won't over exploit yet another release.
Hope you’re doing well 🎉
Maybe Topps one day could offer “manufacturer” coupons. Similar to grocery store coupons. So, if you log on to their site on release day & fail to secure a box they could then provide a coupon that you can use at an official Topps partner (large distributors). The coupon probably wouldn’t offset the increased secondary market price but it would be something. Just a thought.
Great video
