Justin D,
I am so on the same wavelength as you on these. One of my top 3 favorite players of all time is in this set and I would love to be buying his cards right now, but not with the crazy print runs we are seeing.
Speculators are buying 10, 20, 100 of these at a time. Crazy! A collector only needs 1.
These products are not Stocks, they are collectibles.
I agree with you, as long as print runs are 20-30K, I am waiting. When they drop below that I may pick up my favorite player next year. And I bet I can buy them for $10 a pop (of course if you let me make the first offer, I will offer 5). If the secondary market remains firm on Cards #100-#300, I might buy direct from Topps just to hedge my bet while watching the print run quantities ebb and flow.
If Topps Project 2021 comes out, the P-2020s will only lose more of thier "new hotness".
I will caveat everything I said when it comes to the truly shorter printed runs, i.e. sub-5000, those have a chance of staying solid and sought after.
