2013
World Stars Toreka Edition has now been live for two weeks and we are now
seeing how the cards are looking on the secondary market. Surprisingly there
are not many showing up though I am guessing that with this being a Japanese
release we probably will not see as much opened here. You can purchase boxes,
which run $150 plus $10 for shipping, from their English web site. Each box
contains 3 packs with one card in each pack.
Some
of the top cards that have shown up include RG3 Autorait, a gold Carlton Fisk
Autorait and a Mike Tyson Autorait. There have also been a number of Alex
Morgan Deco cards that have sold pretty well (usually in the $50-75 range) but the
biggest boy to show up so far is a Sylvester Stallone Autorait with a whopping $700 BIN.
I
have watched a number of case breaks and it seems like half the boxes are good
and the other half are duds so you have roughly a 50-50 chance. The problem
with the duds is that they are usually the boxes with buy-backs, most of these
cards are pretty common like Bowman Chrome and Topps Triple Threads and the
cards are no where near the value you would expect from a $150 box.
I
was fortunate enough to win Koji Uehara Kogei autograph shadowbox card from
Beckett last November. These cards are extremely cool, I am not sure if I would
want to take a chance on a box or just pick up the singles that interest me.
