Waiting for “No logos are cool unless it’s Leaf” gang

Checklist is missing some rookies...most notably Reed Sheppard. Plus Clingan, Buzelis, Knecht and McCain

Those are all Panini guys. Guess they can't even have base cards?

Yeah...i didn't expect the Panini guys to have autos...but a little surprised they don't have base cards.

Third year Wemby pajama rookies?

Let’s gooooooooooooo!!!!!

Topps has more control issues/FOMO issues than both my kids under 10. Just F'ing wait until that license kicks in please and stop with all this non-licensed basketball/football nonsense

I initially thought it was 25-26. Hopes thoroughly dashed.

Same story with Amen/Ausar in 2023 TC

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..... no one cares. Wait until 25/26

yep topps flagship around here corner with flagg mavs cards

gonna be $800 a box

Topps gonna be worse than Panini design-wise. Everything looks awful.

Despite no license yet I'm still willing to hunt down some singles/autos.

Still gross

I feel like Topps are just going with cheap and nasty until they can do it right.

Horrible stuff so far

Not gonna lie...shocked at the price. Just $149.99 for the hobby box with 2 autos. Very reasonable with a shot at LeBron or Curry autos.

That was my thought... this one was finally priced right

Look at what the unlicensed Topps Curry autos sell for. Its Lebron or bust.

Can't imagine many lining up to buy unlicensed Topps Chrome for $150 when you can get Prizm hobby for $400 a box. 23-24 Chrome to Prizm is $250 to $850. Paying $150, plus most have to add on tax, for 24-25 Topps Chrome doesn't make sense.

I see lots of Topps Curry autos selling between 400-500 bucks. That more than pays for the box with a single card. I'd be ok with that. What's the best auto you can pull from Prizm right now?

Curry does have one auto in Prizm. I would definitely prefer that one.

Curry has a million licensed autos. Why would anyone want an unlicensed one? I see some /25 Topps Curry auto sales as low as barely $300. So which ones are going to be $400-$500 in Topps Chrome? What are your odds of pulling one? Are the odds even 2% per box to pull an auto that barely covers 2-3 boxes?

You don't have to pull a great auto from Prizm to do good on a box. There are a ton of numbered cards that sell well. What Topps Chrome non autos will sell for anything worth mentioning outside of the top cards of the top players /10 or less?

What percentage of boxes do you think will have a Curry auto?

When does Topps fully take over with the license?

Feels like Rubin's Leaf'ing these pre-licensed released to not show his cards too early, so to speak.

Anyone who's tried to ACEO their way to Ebay supremacy knows how difficult it is to create a Picasso whilst trying to cloak copyrighted material. Even Qwasian tapped out early and just said f- it...send me the cease n' desist if you dare.

They know this stuff caters to a small niche of clecters/flippers. Why go all out?
