Soooo….bought a case that’s arriving Saturday lol. About time there’s a fun AND affordable rip. Plus, CFB is great to watch this year. Lots of talent.

I too just bought a case after opening my 4 boxes from Topps. This stuff is awesome and the player selection is good. You got your superstars and then a lot of Freshmen and sophomores that could become stars in a few years.

That's the thing with this product - lots of future potential!

And that's the key difference between previous Panini and Upper Deck offerings in my opinion. These aren't guys from the 2023 draft, current NFL players, or retired guys. This is closer to baseball prospecting in football.

Just checked collation across my four boxes from Topps and I'm in the same boat with about twice as many 1-99 cards as 100-200.

I'm assuming we will see some boxes later start flipping that around.

Interesting though.

Exactly. And the release date is perfect. Season is still young and the content will hold value for the next few months.

jplarson · 10-12-2023, 04:34 PM

For those with more base from 1-99 vs 100-200, I'd be really curious to learn if perhaps Blasters are the inverse or as others have said maybe later boxes flip the script. I haven't collated my 3 boxes yet but I'll report back when I do.

BUC - the gift that keeps on giving - I have all my 2024 draft-eligible guys from 22 BUC and 21-22 BU stashed for next April.

Craigger · 10-12-2023, 05:10 PM

Went full degen on this stuff. Dont normally open alot of boxes, but as a CU alum I had to chase. Opened 2 personals on IG live yesterday, cards will be here tomorrow so I dont want to spoil it... will post tomorrow.

This is from 3 boxes that I ordered online during presale. Couldn't be more pumped over the Shedeur. All the CU stuff is PC but if anyone is looking/wants anything just shoot me a DM.

hairysasquatch · 10-12-2023, 05:21 PM

Checked my shipments. All OK except Topps Direct - they shipped 4 BUC Hobby boxes but instead of 4 BUC blasters I received 4 2023 Update Baseball blasters! But before I could react I got another shipping notice for a Topps delivery on Friday, so I'll hold out hope that those are my BUC blasters.

How Rare are Photo Variations? 1 per case, rarer or not that rare?

Not sure, but my Harrison Jr is getting no love on eBay.

Thank you, and best of luck on the sale.

Looks like they are 1 in about every 2 cases per the odds. (Hobby)
From the odds I came up with an estimate of about 505 as the print run on those.

Add me to the list...I have 7 or 8 of some people and only 2 of others out of my case...

Also, after sorting I've noticed how bad print lines are on the back of the cards...anyone else's case this way?

Before going in to breaks I'd be curious if this carries over to refractors and parallels too.

DrZman · 10-13-2023, 06:03 AM

Fanatics put up boxes for sale for 120, gave in and got 2 more cuz I’ve had a decent amount of fancash sitting on their sportsbook, figured I’d use before I’m tempted to bet it away.

hairysasquatch · 10-13-2023, 06:13 AM

Are people who broke cases experiencing the collation issue of more 1-100 than 101-200 base cards? Or is that coming from smaller samples of boxes?

Mine evened out through the case. Interestingly, as I opened the boxes, I made 3 stacks of 4 boxes of base cards each. After the first stack, mine were heavy on 101-200. The 2nd stack shifted more toward the 1st 100. The last stack evened things out pretty well.

foleylion08 · 10-13-2023, 07:46 AM

Not bad at all 8 boxers into a case. Highlights:
Caleb Williams Pink Auto /150
Drew Allar 55 Bowman on-card auto /99
Brandon Innis Red Shimmer parallel /5
Shedeur Sanders Blue parallel /199
