Could this be the end of Old School Series 2?
« on: July 20, 2011, 03:03:41 PM »
It looks like there are about 200 boxes remaining.  I talked to Topps this week and they said that there was a pallet left.  He didn't know if there was anything remaining after this pallet was sold.  Well, I think a may do one last purchase.  I was very skeptical of OLDS2 when they were first released but they have been a pleasant surprise.  I agree with Brad that OLDS3 will be even better.

There could be some real treasures in there or a bunch of garbage. I just got in 60 boxes and got crap. I'm officially done after that so have at it!

I bought 24 boxes a few weeks ago and got 15 Lynch's, 1 Simko, 3 Cameras and 5 Engstroms.  Lost about $600.00 on that case.  It looks like there are about 80 boxes left.  I am going to buy another 20 and see what happens.  Wish me luck.

End or not, this is it for me. I just bought my last 5 boxes last night. I talked my dad into getting me 3 boxes for my birthday. These 8 will be my last. Was a good run. I still have most of my boxes to open so OS 3 can take its time while i gas up the wallet.

So to find out how many is left, keep inputting until it says you can not order that amount. Seems like a heck of a task, but glad to know it's been done already.

Its easier than that. you put in 120 if it takes it then put in 125, keep going in 5s until it doesnt take it then you work backwards. Takes like 1 minute. I always remove boxes from cart when finished. I am not sure if that would cause a problem for others or not.

Not sure if I am a Geek or a Troll but there are now 480 boxes remaining.  So much for the sellout.  Looks like these will be available until the end of August.

Wow thats a lot of boxes and that may not even be all of them. I wish we could just know.

I think we're all geeks here with the exception of the troll who is too cool to be here really, but he will come back to throw rocks at us :P

I'm just kidding around with him but he seems to think I am a nerd that shouldn't be here. Maybe I am wrong. Whatever, I love everyone here anyway!

It would probably only cause a problem if they were ordering at the very same moment.

Thanks for the info !

You can now put in 200 boxes and it will take the order. Didn't narrow it down to the exact number, but it looks like they added more to the inventory.
