The gamification of the hobby.

Curious what others think of this.

bustsomewax · 04-29-2025, 10:35 AM

Not on odds sheet. That is my big question.

JMStang · 04-29-2025, 10:36 AM

Is this a new refractor parallel or are all RC refractors going to be red?

They said it's just the RC logo that's red, and that it will be on only "a limited number" of the refractors.

Ok, just another parallel to potentially chase.

Is today April 1???

Pretty presumptuous of Fanatics to assume they'll even exist in the year say, 2045 if/when one of these rookies makes the HOF to be able to trade you $1000 FanCash for your HOF rookie card. Given the current trajectory of the hobby and inflation, what would that $1000 even buy you at that point, a single pack?

Agreed. Got to love the hype HOF for $1k in 20 years. Just put money in bank with better payback for chances of any rc this year to be HOF.

It's just a way to prop up the pricing structure of the product.

The hype for MLB prospects and rookies has died down the last couple of years. So Topps has to create some artificial value via a gimmick to support the market.

I can see right through their marketing scheme. Fanatics is despicable.

2045 is the last year of their current contract with MLB, so I would hope it isn't presumptuous for a business to think they will last long enough to fulfill their contractual obligation!

$1k for a hobby box of flagship sounds about right in 20 years.

Does this mean you have to buy wax? If yes, then I'm out.

You could always purchase the “All Red Rookie Redemption” spot in a 1/2 case break for the low low price of $250.

StlBen · 04-29-2025, 10:44 AM

The fact they have 8 guys on the checklist that are no longer rookie qualifying and cant win ROY is hillarious. Can't wait for people to chase them to only realize they have zero chance of winning anything.

Exactly - like James Wood! He’s ineligible
And the amounts Fanatics is offering is laughable. Only $300 if the player wins 2 MVPs??? How many Ohtanis are gonna come out of this batch? Jacob Wilson is the only one who has a shot

How much does a raw Aaron Judge Bowman Chrome RC sell for?

I get the point that PHX is trying to make with the crazy odds of hitting the jackpot of the person winning ROY and going on to win 2 MVPs. But we do have some indicators of what cards of players with those awards go for. $300 seems pretty good, depending on how short-printed this truly are.

It's 30 cards -- gallery and list at link added to OP.

StlBen · 04-29-2025, 11:08 AM

I mean none of these 30 guys are going to win ROY this year....So isn't it all moot.

Wouldn't there be ROY-eligible players (like Kristian Campbell) in 2025 Bowman Chrome, though?

Possibly, I'm just going off what they announced so far.
None the less people are going to chase these like they have chance...

How is it going to be all that different than people buying up Judge/Ohtani Topps Chrome cards last year? In terms of the ROY redemption for this season.

Obviously you won't be able to redeem these in LCSs, but how are people buying singles of players they think will win ROY on eBay and FB/IG/X/Reddit/Whatnot any different than people stacking MVP favorites from Topps Chrome the past few seasons?
