like a few others here i just learned about etopps from these posts.... I wonder how the allocation works, but i hope i get them....

I ordered 1 of each.

Here is how the allocation goes. Say a card has an announced IPO of 999 cards. You put your order in of 10 cards at 1:01 PM (1:00 PM is when the IPO's are opened) and joe bob puts in an order of 5 cards. And so on orders keep on coming in..... When and if the orders reach 999 unique users (that would be us) orders are no longer taken (which they never tells us if a card is sold out untill the allocation). So now its Monday and here comes the allocations. You look and you only got 1 of the 10 you ordered... darn. So that would mean it was a IPO sell out and you only got the one you ordered. Now if you would of gotten more allocated it would of meant that 999 unique users did not buy the IPO.

And as for the time you order... that is very important. The sooner you get your order in the better. Waiting till 6PM in the day may mean your gonna get shutout. Put your orders in the minute the IPO's are listed. Its first come first served.

Sorry for the long read, but wantd to explain the process since a few of you asked.

Thanks for that detailed explanation. I just got one more question.

Let's say by Monday, only 500 are sold and there are plenty leftover. Does etopps keep them up for sale until they run out or do they close the IPO at 500?

They would close the IPO at 500. with the popularity of UFC I would be very surprised to see if these are not sell outs. We will see beginning of the week.

Thank you Djarum. **** i hope i got them, when i fist saw them out i didnt buy them then, i should have pulled the trigger earlier, but thx again...

Well allocations have come out. I got a Henderson and a GSP but got shut out on Lesner. So that would mean more people ordered Brock rather than the other ones.

As I type this Brocks are selling at $10.50 and GSP at $10.65. The Henderson's haven't had any sales yet.

For the newer people these sales have been through the Card Target site. (they are partnered with etopps and ebay). Here is the link to the site and guide.

so, did yall have to pay them? like pay for 10 and then it comes up you only get the 1? or you say how many you want they pay for how many you get?

you ask for 10, pay nothing, wait for them to tell you how many you got and they charge your credit card for the amount they gave you

YAY i got a hendo, and payed 10$ for a GSP, dont really care for lesnar, and i think how people view him will diminish the value to some extent, and if he were to lose the belt it would completly tank i think....
