I just think about 1990 Hoops basketball when I look at these.

For the love of god, there will be a Logofractor box of this.

Make it stop.

Napkin math time boys because I'm bored. My favorite activity behind painting.

Notes: looks like Base card Superfractors are only in Hobby, while insert Superfractors are available in most SKU's. Lite boxes get the 1/1 Blacks again. Rough numbers based on stated 1/1 odds, stated checklists and packs per box.

Hobby:
Base checklist: 200
Base Superfractor: 1:2765
Boxes: 46083.33

And for funsies, Red Refractor math:
Base checklist: 200
Red Refractor: 1:560
Boxes: 46666.66

--------------------

Lite Qualifying:

Base checklist: 200
Base Black Raywave 1/1: 1:8253
Boxes: 103162.5 (good lawd)

Base checklist: 200
Base Red Raywave: 1:1673
Boxes: 104500
Me:

----------------------------

Sapphire:
Base checklist: 200
Base Padparadscha: 1:413
Boxes: 10325

----------------------------

Logofractor:
Base checklist: 200
Base Rose Gold 1/1: 1:414
Boxes: 41400 (based on 2 logofractor packs per box)

Ok back to painting.

Great work, Mr. Ross. That's awesome.

Presale prices seem ridiculously high, no?

No problem!

And yes, prices are ridiculous on these with this amount of boxes. Falls in line with what Fanatics has been doing with price gouging regular Chrome releases lately.

You just know Sapphire is going to be 2x higher than it should be and probably EQL.

Fun times.

Interesting they are releasing 4 months earlier than last year as they typically wait till the end of the season. No F1 rookies and I don't really care about F2 and F3 so an easy pass from me especially at this price point.

I like that they removed the principals outside some autographs. Be nice if they did that for Dynasty but I really hope they do not add F2 to Dynasty. That would be a disaster.

Not a single mention of the Sapphire release yesterday?

Any opinions on it? I'm looking at getting into F1 cards this year. The wife likes F1 as well so you know how that goes

Wondering if I should go Hobby, Logofractor or Sapphire

Ianhatcher · 01-30-2025, 03:24 PM

2024 is just a bad year. I haven't bought a single 2024 F1 product or card this year. No rookies, prospect cards from f1 sure but 2025 is going to be a much better product with 6 rookie drivers. Lewis with Ferrari will be quite a draw as well.

Added a Leclerc auto to my PC:

Happy to see him net his first podium.
