2023 Bowman U Chrome Football Sapphire Edition

cj828282 · 12-14-2023, 09:18 PM

And the Topps money train continues. Coming soon!

1 auto and 3 parallels per box. Appears to be sticker autos much similar to the latest TCU Sapphire drop.

Maybe these will have the Deion autos???

AwesomeBrian · 12-14-2023, 09:23 PM

Take my money!

Bcr · 12-14-2023, 11:40 PM

I wonder when this gets released. Hopefully it's reasonably priced, but I'm sure it won't be.

Hell yes I was waiting for…

These cards look great; I am definitely in!

The sapphire selections looks very Wild Card-esque, but I'm here for the treasured talent and sapphire parallels.

Was going to say the same thing.

Are we thinking this is going to be today?? That is the usual MO when I get an email the day before. I assume this isn't for Montgomery Club Member presale.

Probably a good indication the football market will be going the same as baseball when Fanatics officially takes over. Consolidate the number of different brands and pump a base set with a good number of parallel versions released as standalone sets.

Panini made upteen different products which is good in a way, gives people variety and choices, but I think it in a way diluted the market. But seemed like a way for Panini to keep the $$ coming in.

I DO hope that Fanatics/Topps has ZERO Panini Point shenanigans. If something is supposed to have 2 autos in it, put 2 autos in it

I can see that. The problem you run into is that you get 100 "different" cards that all the same photo. Do you think the collecting community will just learn to skip bowman and bowman chrome and wait for the sapphire. I haven't paid attention, but are people doing this with Topps in baseball? Don't care about Corbin Carrol Topps, Topps Chrome RCs. Wait and buy his Sapphire RC. It's all so watered down now.

I'm admittedly not much of a baseball guy but seems like there's no issues on that side. Think the key is doing this with their premium brands (a la Flagship and Chrome) and not every single one of the IPs. Can't imagine a world where a throwaway product like Zenith in football would do better than one of these Topps/Chrome variants.

Releasing before or after 2023 Bowman University Chrome Basketball?

With Wemby, I’m surprised they haven’t done this yet. I definitely expected Topps to crank out more product featuring Wemby.

glassofwater · 12-15-2023, 11:55 AM

I want this to be 79.97. I hope 3 parallels don’t mean a high print run like tennis. Buts that’s a large auto list.

Wait am I reading that correctly, base auto odds on a box is one base auto for every 3 boxes?

Yeah, case should yield 2-3 oranges, 1 black and a chance at a red or extra black/orange auto. So 6-7 parallel autos per case.

You are reading that correct.

cj828282 · 12-15-2023, 12:02 PM

Up on Topps: $150

Box: https://www.topps.com/cards-collecti...hobby-box.html

Case: https://www.topps.com/cards-collecti...aled-case.html

bustsomewax · 12-15-2023, 12:06 PM

That's a really rough price. I would of considered at $120, but not at $150 when you can find Hobby under $100 with two autos...

In for 2!
