OMG!! only 7 minutes...I cant believe it!

so this morning at 11:00 AM EST the Topps website was offering pre sale 2026 Mars Attacks Christmas trading cards...I jumped onto the site at 11:02, grabbed a couple hobby boxes ($64.99 each) and added to my cart. Went back and added some card sleeves...by the time I hit the proceed to checkout button at 11:07AM, the site was telling me the hobby boxes and 10 box cases were already sold out...are you kidding me? 7 minutes to sell out? I know its just presale and more will be available in a few weeks, but who would have thought non sports would be in such demand? I am genuinely surprised!

7 minutes is pretty quick. I know of other card products also going very quick. I think there are speculators buying boxes to sell on eBay at inflated prices. I have heard some unbelievable prices for Pokeman cards.

Well I bought two boxes. It's pre-sale so it's not actually going to hit the streets for another few weeks, but I'll have it the day it hits the street which is usually a Wednesday...

They'll be offered again the day that they release the product. You can buy them directly on the Topps website, but it's usually $10 more so it'd be $150 for a hobby box

I just checked the release calendar and it's October 7th for Allen and Ginter baseball
