Apparently there will be a Sapphire version of this? Pack odds posted on Topps website:

in 2023?

Have to wonder if Sapphire drops firsts as a tease to the TC proper product. Looks like it is ready to go.

Right. And they obviously have the checklist but won't release it.

Jagsfansunshine · 05-26-2023, 11:39 PM

Hoping they just scrap the sapphire treatment at this point

wubh · 05-27-2023, 02:29 AM

Wow, that odds sheet is terrible. Unless they change the format from every other Sapphire release, each box will come with 8 packs and 4 cards per pack. Most Sapphire products suggest 2 #ed hits per box (but not guaranteed).

And if you thought hitting autos were difficult in hobby or lite, you're looking at 22 boxes before you hit a base auto and astronomical odds for parallel autos.

Plus 9 colors to chase is too much and depresses the value of a big orange, purple, red or 1/1 hit.

On the other hand, these cards will look amazing if they ever release. But let somebody else take the hit on the break.

What is this "extended base set"?

Good catch! 101 vs 100. Maybe they were able to snag somebody worthwhile in there?

cj828282 · 06-07-2023, 04:40 PM

Release date of June 21st for this stuff. Just in case anyone wants to know.

itsbaytime · 06-08-2023, 08:34 AM

When is on sale date?? I can't believe any of us even care. Could they have added a single good player to the checklist?

cj828282 · 06-19-2023, 06:16 PM

Monty presale tomorrow. SP set exclusive to Sapphire with autos.

bd3d86 · 06-20-2023, 09:27 AM

They are $59.99 a box for MC members…limit 2

Jagsfansunshine · 06-20-2023, 11:33 AM

Any idea who the one additional signer is.. I'm guessing someone from their ptpa agreement like badosa.

Wow! I’m not a MC member but collect Sapphire singles in other sports and I can only remember a couple of recent $100 is direct box prices with many going for a lot higher.

Wonder how much these will go for on the secondary market if they aren’t marked up too much since $60 is the MSRP of some higher end retail mega boxes.

I don't believe there's been any indication of there being an additional signer. Email yesterday just stated there is an exclusive extended base set, although todays listing omits that.

ChoChoRes · 06-20-2023, 02:24 PM

Are there even any halfway decent rookies in it?

msink28 · 06-20-2023, 02:27 PM

I think that's reasonable, if it were someone like Novak or Alcaraz you'd think the price would be higher.

Up for sale... still not seeing who is featured in the extended base set

No...

BreakerJim · 06-21-2023, 02:13 PM

You could argue the chase rookie here is Fils....

marlinsfan9108 · 06-21-2023, 02:18 PM

I bought 2 for a rainy day. Waste of money but at least they’re cheap

jeffcaff · 06-21-2023, 02:36 PM

Can anyone shed any light as to the reason that this is a 2021 release?

I could not find the checklist on the web site. It is not on the page with all the other checklists. Anyone have one?
