No Novak? Biggest name in Tennis. Why? I'm clearly missing something.

This product sucks, thats all.

Theres only a handful of active players. Most of the players included are retired ones.

So $60 gets you a 4% chance for an auto and close to an 8% chance at whatever the extended base is... 2 guaranteed parallels, but only 5 signers and a rumored 41,000 boxes produced. 41,000 x 8 packs/box x 4 cards/pack = 1,312,000 cards just for sapphire, not including the regular chrome. Sadly this is not considered overproduced, which is another indicator we are in another junk wax era, but I digress. The price is ab right I guess... Still on the fence as a tennis fan, which is kinda sad at a measly $60

Chrominator · 06-21-2023, 05:56 PM

Are there any "RCs" in this release?

Any names worth chasing?

Chrominator · 06-21-2023, 06:00 PM

I'm a bit interested in what the White Sapphires look like...

"Preliminary". They just copied the info Topps has posted so far. Extended base subject(s) and signer list still unknown.

Doesn't have the extended base set up yet

On sale now direct from Topps for $60/box with a limit of 2 with free shipping if you buy 2 boxes.

https://www.topps.com/2021-tennis-chrome-sapphire1.html

Doesn’t look like it’s in any rush to sell out lol. And with the quantity produced, I might wait to see if secondary market prices tank.

It was on sale all day yesterday. Too many boxes made, there will be a flood of boxes and singles on ebay once they are shipped.

I took a flyer on a couple of boxes. Doubt I'll ever be able to rip Sapphire this cheaply again. Will be curious to see the final auto checklist.

jeffcaff · 06-22-2023, 12:36 PM

Overtime Elite Sapphire is available and cheaper!

Cardborder · 06-22-2023, 02:58 PM

I bought the two boxes. Hopefully they don't have black ink all over them like my 2021 Tennis Chrome set, which I am still trying to get refunded.

Looks like these are getting ready to ship via UPS.

Jagsfansunshine · 06-27-2023, 10:21 AM

Anybody hit anything good in their boxes yet?

itsbaytime · 06-27-2023, 12:27 PM

I don't see much on ebay yet. Did we ever get a final checklist?

CTSportsboy57 · 06-27-2023, 01:08 PM

I got my single box today.
Sampras Ring of Honor
Caty McNally /299
Chang Aces /25

no auto. the Chang is a pretty good hit. Beyond that I'm clueless.

Not bad! Like the Chang! Caty is a decent american player. More of a doubles specialist though

Bob Ross · 06-27-2023, 03:37 PM

Opened 1 of the 2 boxes today. 3 color. No one of note.

This is an embarrassing set and checklist. Why even make this set if you literally can't lock in 1 major name.

LittleJimmies · 06-27-2023, 06:12 PM

Got my two. Pulled the Emma extended base auto, so got one of the rare positive value boxes. Not a lot of value other than that, but fun rip as a tennis fan.

glassofwater · 06-27-2023, 06:21 PM

Can someone show us what they look like?

So it’s an auto instead of an extra card in the base set checklist?

Assuming they all are autos. Makes print run around 400.

Got excited with the Edberg thinking it was a padparascha, but just a pink or fuschia.
