But how does the price of the boxes on the secondary market impact Topps's bottom line if all the product sold by breakers and retailers was purchased at retail price from Topps?
In essence, if I hold onto a box of 2018 Topps Chrome because there could potentially be an autographed Ohtani rookie inside, and I later sell that box for 10 times what I paid, Topps doesn't benefit from the sale. The box was already sold at retail price.
Topps does not have a back log of this product either. It was hyped beyond belief and has been sold out on the Topps site since the pre-release. I'm wondering why you think they'd benefit from withholding the card from a product that is sold out already. They didn't have to do anything to move it in the first place.
