First etopps physical delivery - nice haul

Just received my first etopps delivery of 50 cards (see list below) at a cost of $98.50. Yes, $98.50 (excluding the 30% discount that I should see next week) ! The shipping cost should of been under $30.00. This topic has been discussed on numerous forums. The etopps program ended in 2012, but topps still allow transactions on ebay and physical delivery at an insane shipping rate. I have a modest etopps portfolio with a focus on key rookie cards and finally took the plunge to get the cards in possession. Overall, I did OK and was able to recoup what I put in and some.

Man, I lucked out on Harper and Stanton. This made physical delivery a no brainer plus topps offered a 30% shipping discount.

Item # Card Title Quantity
1 Mike Stanton 2010 1
1 Aaron Rodgers 2005 3
1 Michael Stanton Milb2010 29
1 Mike Trout Milb2011 1
1 Bryce Harper Milb2011 16

I have another shipment coming. The closeout process of etopps has been poorly handled for sure and there are collectors with huge portfolios full of worthless cards.

I will submit a few cards from this haul.
