It's hard to believe we are getting info on Holiday and still nothing on Update... or Pristine... or Cosmic Chrome... or Chrome Platinum... or Museum Collection... or Bowman Sterling... or Pro Debut... I would have thought all of these would either be out by now or had their presales by now. We are either going to be seeing 2025 releases well into 2026 or there are going to be a lot of releases getting chopped.

Fanatics has been releasing 202X products in 202Y for a couple years now. Chrome Platinum 2024 came out after the 2025 season was already underway IIRC.

My last straw of knowing the world had gone crazy was seeing what people were paying for the advent calendars on the secondary market last year.

If you look at last year, Museum came out 07/31, Pristine came out 08/30, Pro Debut came out 09/06, Bowman Sterling came out 10/09, Cosmic Chrome came out 10/11, Update came out 10/16. We don’t have release dates for any of these products for 2025.

There was no Chrome Platinum for 2024. Apparently they're skipping 2024 and we're supposed to get 2025, with an every-other-year release cycle for TCP. But, nothing yet on most of these.

jduds · 09-19-2025, 05:13 PM

Awesome. I just finished my Santa Archives sets from 2023 and 2024. They should complete the run this year. I'm a bit worried they'll screw it up and not have a 2024 Santa Archives card, as the card labeled as a 2024 from last year was actually the 2020 design. I'm hoping they caught that and include 2024 this year and don't double up on 2020, but I'm not overly optimistic.

What a bummer, where is the good stuff???? (cosmic, upate, museum etc)

I'll buy plenty of these to rip, as I do every year. Singles don't sell well, but that's perfect. Love this product.

Am I seeing this correctly? There are Chrome inserts?

Yes. You are.

DetroitTN · 09-20-2025, 08:16 PM

Gross. Worst set they release.

njsportscardguy · 09-22-2025, 10:30 AM

Available today @ noon EST.

BTW,...am I mistaken, or is/are the Topps Chrome element, new to the Holiday release...?!? I don't have any of my holiday cards, at-hand, and for the life of me...I cannot consciously recollect if they ever had Chrome cards...?

Also, something to bear in mind. If Topps tries to give us the good 'ole "OOS" message,...AT ANY POINT in time, then IMO, that should be indicative of their attempt at tryin' to blow smoke up our cabooses!!

(EDIT) - Sad, if you will,...that we're getting Holiday to drop, today, yet several other releases which have generally/usually been released by now (or close to now); we have no intel or updates on...?? For me, specifically, I'm a lil' perturbed that since early-mid August, we had a Sept. 8 release date on Pro Debut, and then....(literally!) less than a week before release date, they pull-the-plug and give us a generic, "COMING SOON"...!?!

True for megas & tins. If the advent boxes are priced like last year they won't last long.

Fair enough; I stand corrected. Knew of the [then] new, advent format, but...admittedly, wasn't..."in the-know", about 'em? Were they....(relatively-speaking, of course) loaded? Nevertheless, ya' talked me into 20 of 'em! (cuz' cases were indeed, OOS!

Thanks for the reminder.

I ended up ordering the Advent calendar since I had $10 off. Basically saved on shipping. Tins I can find at Walmart on sale in January.

phil · 09-22-2025, 11:11 AM

yes $39.99, $10 increase

Archimedes · 09-22-2025, 11:13 AM

Thanks, everyone. I got an advent calendar to use as an actual advent calendar and picked up a case too. Also got a mega and tin for my kids. I love Christmas and am a sucker for this product.
