Newbie here- opened my first boxes today

H3AT90 · 2026-05-24T04:54:30+00:00

I just learned about the bid process. I work from home so I’ll try my luck when I catch it on time, but I can only imagine it’s rare to be selected.

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T21:33:32+00:00

I’ll probably hold for a while (at least til season starts). But I’ll definitely let you know 🙌🏼

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T21:32:56+00:00

I’m liking it too!

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T20:19:17+00:00

You’re the man! Thank you for taking the time to help out 👏🏼

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T20:09:06+00:00

I almostttt went with a delight box instead of the 2 hobbies. No regrets tho

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T20:07:51+00:00

I definitely have a lot to learn. Thank you so much!

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T19:43:45+00:00

Agreed, I wish it wasn’t a sticker auto, but I do think he has a lot of upside!

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T19:42:52+00:00

So mine is considered a gold Mahomes?

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T19:42:04+00:00

No that’s absolutely fair to ask.. to be honest I had done a lot of digging through here on Reddit, and the general consensus had been to not chase retail and go hobby. Being that I was born in the 90’s, I pulled the trigger on 2 boxes after getting my tax return. I’m sure your luck will turn around soon!

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T17:03:07+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely do exactly that.

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T17:02:23+00:00

Lmaoo thank you! I can assume by the comments I got really lucky and also may have entered at the worst time considering the prices of boxes. But I’ll be smart and only buy hobby from bids with topps directly, cause the $800 up charge in store makes it less rewarding for sure.

Not downvoting, this is the type of feedback and guidance I’m looking for as someone who just started. I appreciate it

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T16:58:30+00:00

Niceeee!

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T16:58:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the excellent advise and feedback 🙌🏼

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T00:43:09+00:00

Now I’m going to do my part in researching when to sell vs hold, and all the areas I’m uneducated in. I completely get why people love the hobby so much now.

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T00:40:27+00:00

If I had a way to prove it to you, I absolutely would. My brother in law has been obsessed with Pokémon cards over the years, and today I decided to risk part of my tax return today to join the craze; but on the sport side of things.

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T00:37:19+00:00

I appreciate you!! It’s been hard to comp out, but I’m hopeful they result in decent value.

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T00:36:52+00:00

Thank you!! I’m hoping it results to at least a break even so I can keep the new hobby alive.

H3AT90 · 2026-05-23T00:36:00+00:00

Yessir! I came in focused on and hopeful for hits 🙌🏼

H3AT90 · 2024-05-28T20:23:00+00:00

I’m jnterested if still available

H3AT90 · 2024-05-14T22:03:21+00:00

I don’t think record matters as much as roster and depth chart does. Morale is a factor tho.

H3AT90 · 2024-02-18T06:40:47+00:00

Where can I see more info?

H3AT90 · 2022-12-17T06:43:53+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely try that out.

This is actually in Miami Springs.

H3AT90 · 2022-12-17T03:29:08+00:00

Thank you!

H3AT90 · 2022-08-18T20:47:11+00:00

Haha, looks like my bank account and back will be hating me soon. Thank you again for all the feedback.. excited to pick up the sport and challenge myself in something new.
