    This is the tip of the iceberg for what Steve Aoki has in store for the collectibles market. He has kept a really low profile in the hobby until this point, but he is absolutely a passionate collector of sports cards and Pokemon issues.

    I've seen some negative thoughts on this product - especially on the blowout forums, but I'm told that the issue is outperforming the Ben Baller sales by leaps and bounds. It is definitely having an impact on the new blood that is in the market, but traditional collectors will definitely need a little more convincing.

    They are still selling on Topps for $23 but someone on ebay just paid $99. I don't get the stupidity in some people.

    I got my wave 1 set last Thursday..
    One thing I did notice there's nowhere on the box did it say Wave 1.. why would they not put that on box when there are 4 waves ?!

    Mine arrived. Cards inside had damage. The holo was scratched. The Trout had a dent. I'm not impressed with the quality control.

    I am a fan of his music. not a fan of how desperate Topps is at trying to churn out new types of product.
