Pretty sure she has base autos which is what a lot of them are listed as right now on ebay (although I'd be happy to be wrong)

Here are the odds from Topps -

Unfortunately you are right. Too many autos. How many of those base autos do you think they made?

If there are over 1000 numbered ones, I'd guess probably the same amount unnumbered. I mean, there has to be a limit to what they expect the athletes to sign. I did see a video the other day of John Cena signing 3000 items in under two hours but still...

Realistically, what do you think the dual auto would sell for? I want to keep it but if you all think it could be life changing money or house downpayment money I'd probably do it.

This one box beats dozens of cases I’ve seen so far. I’d sell now if I were you. Be first to market for the dual (that I know of at least).Topps is planning for more releases and I’m sure there will be more Joker/Alcaraz duals, possibly even on card. You’ll be able to buy it back cheaper in a few months if you really want one. Congrats on the pulls!

Good luck with your sale.

Depends on the house location and much you want to put down.

California? It won't make much of a dent.

Texas? It'll help out a decent amount.

Regardless, congratulations on the hit! If you plan to sell, now's the time. Be the first to list and set the price instead of waiting for someone else to do it, early listings (and sales) always get the premium.

My case had 10 autos, all numbered to 499. Unfortunately none of them were worth a crap. There were also 10 serial numbered refractors. Interestingly, 9 of the color refractors were in the same box as the auto so there will be a good chance at dud boxes if opening single boxes. I hit some good names with the Sepia refractors. I haven’t had time to sort yet but I think I should be close to building a master set.

They held all the best auto subjects out of retail. Same thing they did with UFC retail awhile back.

I just opened quite possibly the worst case ever. 8 of my 12 boxes had 3 non numbered autos. 27 of my 36 autos total were non numbered. Absolute list of nobodies expect Tiafoe which isn’t even that big a card. Even the few color autos I did get were terrible. No big name colors. Three pineapple all of nobodies. Only good card was a Rybakina base /10. That’s it. Complete and utter garbage.

That’s amazing. Congrats! Don’t open the second box now haha

I'm sorry, that sucks. That was a quiet case. I think topps was valuing certain players differently than tennis fans. My guess is they thought we would be excited ab rybakina as a case hit, but she is more mid in reality

Congrats. Either one of those cards is 10x better than everything combined in the 6 boxes I just opened.

That's my biggest fear about this set, if this goes on-card next year even if the main people are SSP what happens to ANY of this year's cards?

The problem with the card as I've learned pulling low numbered it won't take long for another to be pulled if some haven't already and whoever does decide to sell will get top dollar then each sale will likely be slightly less. That's why cards like that are hard because you want to keep them lol but if you don't have one of the first sales it will likely go down each subsequent sale, I mean Novak/Carlos is the most obvious dual in history so I'm sure they will be pumping them out..different companies but if Turkish Euroleague has multiple sets I'm sure Topps will give Tennis more than one.

Seems like they did the typical Topps thing and really made these all of nothing though on good hits lol

[Jagsfansunshine]

I wouldn't touch alcaraz autos with a ten ft pole considering he has 'his '22 rcs with netpro, a ton of leaf sigs in between, and more to come - probably including on-card

I bet it goes on-card with a transcendent type set early next year, but I think it stays sticker with chrome. I don't know enough ab sapphire

ok thank you for everyone's feedback. I listed it for something crazy on Ebay to see if I get any crazy offers. I think if it just is going to sell for a grand or two I'd rather hold onto it for the memories. Thank you again to everyone for their input.

Lol. I see two just got listed for 20k obo and 250k obo.
I think both of those are... optimistic. Gl

If this goes anything like the “Skenes, I’m shaking” thread then we’re in for one heck of a ride…

I think 5-10k is a good range, but the buyer has to be there obviously.

This is my first post, I joined up just to discuss this set. I grabbed two cases of hobby from blowout.

Here's a link to my list of pulls (minus base, refractor, and prism) if anyone is curious what my first case looked like. The two biggest hits were the Grigor Dimitrov frozen -5 and a gold Tiafoe Aces Auto.

[Jagsfansunshine]

I got my other boxes that came in the mail today. If anyone is interested, I'd do $155 per box for 2, free shipping or $150 per if you order all 3. Lmk. If not, I'll just rip during the US Open.

That was the 1st case, correct? A little quiet - Frances is nice. I also like the volynets and Montgomery. The grigor is kinda meh, but people seem to like frozen-fractors.

This just means the 2nd case will be a banger

Yes, it's the first. I haven't cracked my second yet. I figured that would go well with the US Open.

Thanks all for the welcomes!

Thanks. I started using sheets like this to keep track of what I expect to recieve from breakers. Is your user name a reference to Underworld? I love those fellas.
