2019 Topps Holiday Mega Box...

avicke · 10-19-2019, 12:14 AM

Up for preorder - https://www.walmart.com/ip/2019-Topp...-Box/769962597

Perhaps could be a bit more enticing, depending on the checklist, then Chrome, Update, and Chrome Update (all kind of letting us down at the moment) depending on production levels...

The holiday variation sps are a nice addition... I know not many are fans, just the messenger...

Interesting, might go for 10 boxes. Would like to know how many cards in the set.
Went for the 10 before the masses clean them out. I canceled my prizm order so had some cash to spend.

Good call...I jumped on 10 too!

Thanks for the heads up. I’m tired of the hunt for stuff now. Especially when it’s only at Walmart.

cypher · 10-19-2019, 06:01 AM

$22.48 is an odd price. Guessing they are $19.99 on shelves so you're paying $2.49 extra per box to preorder.

rippev · 10-19-2019, 06:35 AM

What has been in the holiday mega boxes in the past?

bravezfan4life · 10-19-2019, 06:59 AM

You can buy the 2018 holiday boxes for less than 30.00. This year is an easy pass.

If it weren’t for the Bat Down image, 2018 Holiday would have never gained any traction. It’s a junk retail product. Much better options out there.

I agree and the rookies this year don’t compare to last years.

cardsforever · 10-19-2019, 09:04 AM

Ten packs with ten cards in each pack and a autograph or relic card in each box, and each box contains five metallic Holiday cards.

This is not for value, this is for fun.

I pre-ordered ten.

The faux relics not so much.

Saving all my energy for TCU

guru · 10-21-2019, 10:18 AM

I got 10.

Thanks for the link.

It's worth the extra to get the piece of mind to not have to chase these when they hit Wal-Mart.

I agree

The only reason 18 Holiday was interesting is because they were a parallel of sorts of some iconic short prints of 18. It sure seems those short prints don't exist for 19, so holiday just has snowflakes on the regular images.

Unless something unexpected comes from the imagery/checklist, it's such an easy pass

I agree. Unless there's a vertical Tatis, this will crash and burn

"New in 2019 – Holiday variation short prints"

SPs of Tatis and this product could be interesting. Wait and see for me.

and the two I added.

Ship to the store instead of your house and have them price match the register price when you go pick them up? Worth a shot, but maybe some will see that as “scammy” haha...

Checklist is up. Has all the rookies, which you can’t say of S2 and Update. Plus SPs, SSPs and SSSPs and faux Christmas relics. Might not be as barren as first assumed.

Nice checklist. Looks like Topps also wishes it were still 2018. They've got Ron, Juan, Gleyber and Ohtani all listed as "rookie"(checklist error only Im sure). The should just slap that logo on every card in the base set, just to see everyone's reaction.

glassofwater · 10-23-2019, 04:44 PM

Everyone wanted sp ssp of Tatis and Alonso.. and here we have it. This might be the update everyone wanted...

BabaORiley · 10-23-2019, 06:47 PM

"Perhaps the biggest change in 2019 Topps Walmart Holiday Snowflake is the addition of variation short prints. And there are a lot of them, landing in three different tiers of rarity. The most common variations have the largest checklist with 50 cards. Rare and Super Rare Variations each have 25 cards. There is a lot of overlap with many players having SP and SSP cards."

I'm snagging another 10. Not going overboard because these could be ugly as sin, but I'll take a shot at 20 to start out.

LVDan · 10-23-2019, 07:00 PM

Considering no flagship SP/SSP for a lot of these guys it could be a thing this year, who knows?
