2024 Topps Chrome Tennis
 

Popped up in the Alcaraz NetPro thread, figured it deserved it's own thread. Nowhere to go but up from last years total stinker of a product. Alcaraz and Novak (maybe?) is a great start. Excited to see more details.

This thread pops up when you Google 2024 Topps Chrome Tennis lol let's make it good.

Really though, everyone said last Chrome sucked because of the names, nothing was wrong with the cards, I ripped some when it was heavily discounted, nice looking, some cool inserts etc. If the names are good this time it should be a good product for the tennis crowd, I don't think it will make football guys start ripping Tennis but similar to Messi in MLS products it will be a huge boost for tennis collector's.

Joker would be huge for me. Also Sinner, Swiatek, Sabalenka, etc. I'm sure there would be many buyers for Raducanu and Andreeva as well.

Agree with this. Some Americans too.

Any eta on release time? Or prepare for a year or 2 down the rd?

If Sabalenka signs for this I’d imagine her first Leaf on card auto tanks? Or is that her best card overall? /25

Leaf's problem is that they try to milk every athlete for every penny. They are putting out thousands and thousands of Alcaraz autos. Even the Sabalenka autos are under $100 now for the new ones. People know they can get one any time.

I agree on Leaf milking it

Any tennis product needs to have autos of most of the following players, at a minimum:

Men: Borg, McEnroe, Connors, Lendl, Becker, Agassi, Sampras, Federer, Nadal, Joker

Women: Billie Jean King, Navratilova, Evert, Graf, Serena

It doesn't make a difference how many 2nd/3rd/4th tier names you have if you are missing most of the big names.....

Any other news on signers for this set?

Welp. Sinner is out of 2024 Chrome.

[QUOTE=Bob Ross;19494671]Welp. Sinner is out of 2024 Chrome.[/QUOTE]

Did he sign with someone else?

Sinner signed with Panini

[QUOTE=Swingman24;19494788]Sinner signed with Panini[/QUOTE]

Lmao. Tennis is a mess. We're never going to get a good set.

gotta love how Sinner's first card will be a bland Panini Instant

It's really a shame. If every player was on board for a release somehow it would awesome.

Solicit floating around, scheduled for 7/31 release

Even at $25/blaster and with Alcaraz, not touching anything Topps Chrome Tennis until we get a checklist.

[QUOTE=LittleJimmies;19523781]Even at $25/blaster and with Alcaraz, not touching anything Topps Chrome Tennis until we get a checklist.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. Need more information on the checklist and odds before jumping on it (or any configuration).

Yep - not going near these without a checklist. Didn't see anything saying autos/numbered cards were available in blasters either. I'll be waiting.

I wouldn't touch this WITH a checklist.
