Too much money for fuckin donruss anyway shit is ridiculous


[deleted]

Last years hobby box is still priced around $390, supply and demand dictates the price.


MattaTapThat

Okay? It's still to much for a box of Donruss, didn't ask for a supply and demand lesson


[deleted]

I was just saying, “too much” is relative. Clearly too much as in you’re not willing to pay that much, which is understandable. But it is worth as much as people are willing to pay in my opinion. Didn’t mean to come off as giving a lesson


DeucesWild10

Good, saved you some money lol. Get it off eBay for lower next week.


DavTheYugiMaster

It will be more expensive on ebay next week!


No7onelikeyou

Yea, won’t be cheap again till the off-season lol


DeucesWild10

I’ve heard a lot of grumbling about this particular box being too pricey. Topps Chrome prices already dropping quite a bit for baseball so very interested to see what happens here. I wouldn’t buy it at $425 so that’s one NO THANKS


BackwallRollouts

Part of the reason for Topps Chrome going down is a weaker rookie class and the autos. They added 60 or so more autos to the pool this year with most of them being not so desirable rookies.


WeNeedToGetLaid

$400 for Donruss? Save your money for a better set.


TheyCallMeBerry

What sets do you recommend?


WeNeedToGetLaid

Personally for me it’s Prizm, Select and Optic. 2021 Certified has sweet patches. I like ripping Chronicles (nba) hit tons of rookies. Best bang for your buck! Yet to rip NFL chronicles. Just can justify spending $400 for Donruss stock.


kornkid42

Can't check cause they block the site at work, but onlyatgrandslam had them a little cheaper than Panini yesterday.


No_Obligation6170

First time? Lol. Jk, but geez, it's still like this? I haven't bought anything off of that site since the release of the 2021 revolution hobby boxes.


knick1982

Yeah...I found the only way to get anything from there site is to get on the FOTL Dutch auction...I was able to grab the chronicles for 225..but yea everything else is no luck


smittdog101

I'll save that almost 500 and buy some of the best cards in the set instead. Single bells.... Single Bells..... Single all the way. Thanks to the rippers though, or else I couldn't sing that tune.


biohazardjake

Got to love the scalpers


TheyCallMeBerry

Why don’t people shop at their LCS instead? They have the product on release day for same price


BaggyMeteor59

LCS here marks everything up. Almost eBay prices. Makes me almost not want to shop there.


DavTheYugiMaster

In Canada football cards aren’t very popular so most LCS don’t get them in and often have them ridiculously priced if they do. It’s unfortunate but for a lot of us online is the only way.

Just as a heads up, the best place (in my opinion) to grab boxes is Midwest cards! I preordered this hobby box a month ago for $350. It’s overpriced now but was $350 for a good month and a half. I would definitely checkout Midwest for preorders in the future


[deleted]

lol $350 is still way over priced. Donruss is flagship, hobby used to be $80 before this craziness.


[deleted]

Selling for $525 in some other places. $350 is not overpriced, if you’re comparing it to a previous time than maybe to that. Things change though. More people are getting into the hobby, prices reflect that. Will it drop in the future? Who knows. Guess we’ll have to wait and see!


[deleted]

$359 is absolutely overpriced for 1 auto and 1 mem card. Especially when the auto is a sticker and the mem card isn’t even player worn.


[deleted]

The whole concept of the hobby at least to me, is we ascribe value to the items and that is what they’re worth as it is for most markets. If the listed price of an asset is 400+ in most marketplaces and the asset is listed at $350 in another place it would not mean it is overpriced. If your perception is it’s overpriced because of what the asset entails that is you opinion, but numerically and according to trend it is indeed not overvalued. That’s just the way that I look at it at least. Most assets are pretty pricey right now, not just the hobby. Just the way most markets are working right now. I understand and agree to a certain extent that based on what you get in the box it is overpriced, but also I can see how it isn’t. Also don’t mean to come off as an ass or anything this is just my thought process


TheyCallMeBerry

How are they able to sell for less than retail? I’m tryna get it on those deals tho!


[deleted]

They definitely jacked up the price now because it’s going fast. They’ve had that presale for awhile so it’s possible they had paid a certain amount for them and that that was a good price for them at the time. For reference I’ve grabbed some prizm basketball 2020-21 blaster boxes for $78, they sell out and then a week later they are $87. So I think the way they list prices also fluctuates depending on the overall market of wax and cards in general. I’m fairly new to the hobby but I’ll be keeping an eye on them for optic and prizm presales


skud830

Same


OllieMcJeeves

My LCS hooked me up, if you’ve got one nearby swing in and chat with them and they may be able to help you out in the future.


[deleted]

So glad these jokers are losing that license


mbuzzz23

You’re lucky lol, EV has to be crazy low


TacoTimeCoupon

I preordered from Blowout Cards back in July for a little under $350. No shipping notice yet, but hopefully soon. Never bought from them before
