I've had it up to here with some of the prices I've seen for new releases lately. I was hoping to buy a blaster or two of 2020 Bowman but upon seeing them only available for 2x or more retail I kinda balked. It seems like all sets recently have been doing this for some season or another. (boredom I guess? I dont quite get it) I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestinons on where to get reasonable prices for some of these newer sets, because id like to buy some, but not at the prices ive been seeing. Thanks all.

A lot of people are getting into cards because of the quarentine. Then the stories of people payin $20,000 + for Jasson Dominguez autos caused people to start hoarding Bowman boxes and all other sorts of stuff. I'm just gonna focus on trading and re-organizing my collection until everyone starts to calm down and prices go back to normal.

I buy very little new stuff because of the crazy prices. A pack or two when I'm at dollar tree (if they have any) is about it.

Bowman has a staggered release process. It's going to slowly trickle out onto the market so those first boxes are going to be hoarded and price gouging will be in effect. I'm waiting a bit before delving in.

Bowman, Mosaic and GQ have been wiped out at my 3 closest targets and walmarts by one person. I know who it is since he's on FB marketplace in my area selling everything for 2 to 3 times retail price. I was able to snag one mosaic that an employee must of hid behind some pokemon cards. They must have been trying to save it for themselves after their shift. Its insane right now.

I have seen boxes of 2020 Score Football on presale for over $200 for a hobby box.  We are talking Score here which is usually the least expensive football product on the market.

C2C and I were in a break the other night on youtube and the Jasson Rodriguez(?) spot sold for $4400 USD for just him, by the end of the break he was still down $2K, the breaker then said the next night that it was actually an investment firm that bought the spot and was looking to broaden thier portfolio?!?! Yup thats where we are headed peeps! No longer will the crd companies care about us, they wont even skip a beat. It is sick and sad, I wrote a letter to the breaker stating how I felt and that I can see why he doesnt care either, the break grossed $10,600 and only cost him $5800 for 2 1/2 hrs work!!!!!!! OMG
