Topic: R2 Price JumpPosted: 19 Feb 2012 at 1:06am |

Blowout and BigT raised the price of a round 2 hobby box over $40 in matter of weeks ($110 to over $150). I love round 2 but there is no I'm paying $155 a box...This is the highest I've ever seen R2 boxes.... What gives??? Ideas?

probably the success of jon jones and dan henderson? idk.. locally they've been selling them @ 135 a box but even that is almost too much for me.. maybe their supply is just getting low and theyre trying to milk it

supply and demand. plus..look at the cards..rookie/first cards(gold and silver too) of current heavyweight champ JDS, light heavyweight champ Bones, interim welterweight champ condit..and the first autos of jds/bones..lets not forget the first/rookie card of current undisputed middleweight champ Chael Sonnen too. Rd2 has a lot of cards of the top names in the sport and when compared to an 800$ rd1 box, rd2 at 150 sounds good.

So Matthew are you a salesman? Hah I never busted a box of round 2 and you're making it tempting.

Yea, there are some great rookies in R2 as Matthewevan pointed out. But still, the Condit/Sonnen pulls are base cards no autos. Blowout/Big T must have seen a big jump in demand for R2.
$125 is my max on R2 boxes, I hope prices come back down

The box prices locally here have been at 165 a box
I seen a break on blowout where the guy said he wouldn't be surprised to see box prices hit $200. I thought that was out of the question until I looked at the hits and subjects. Knockout is $200 a box and you get arguably better hits but if your after "rookies" round 2 is the way to go. What other box beside round 1 can you still get $20-$50 for blue autos on average??

i have broken a total of less than 6 boxes of rd2 personally..i dont think i would spend 150 on a box though.. i can see why they charge it--especially if supply is drying up.. i have opened some terrible boxes- marcus davis and cb dolloway autos.. spending 150 on those boxes is rough! |

I really want to go in with 3 other people on a case.
I haven't looked at prices lately, prob around $400 each? Instead of opening all of the cards like normal case breaks we would get 3 boxes each. Someone will get the case hit that way too. I really want to tuck a box away, just in case prices do get crazy. |

R2 Cases are $1800-1900 right now, no way to make $ unless you pull a Jones 1/1.
