I am advocating buying at 1-5 bucks if you like them. I am not advocating taking a 95% loss and making the 99 cents guy happy purposefully. I can guarantee that every buyer of 88' wax boxes during that boom was not planning on taking a 95% loss. They were just as blinded as the prospectors seeing those early cards sell at four figures and thinking they could do the same with a card 100x higher produced. I'll be a buyer at a buck too, but honestly bummed to be taking a loss before they even ship. I knew it was coming logically, but this was fast.

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.
