Damn Topps is milking it so hard already.

This is going to be the worst ROI product in sports card history

$10K or more?

[oldgoldy97]

Maybe $25K like Transcendence?

Supposedly 8k a box. The no logos are too apparent though.

$1K per card sounds right.

In for a few cases!

[jcardstore]

Only $1k per card!!!! What a steal

[Nomad]

That is a beautiful jumping man or whatever. Now I see the "break all products and sell all hits in 2 weeks Blez style" strategy. They only got like a month to pump out three more Wemby products before the season starts, after which it will be truly awkward to go on considering future releases rookies. Each one needs to up the ante on the last.

To me, it's bling fatigue.

[Bosoxfan5990]

All that for unlicensed!

[eastbayak]

Haha, stealing Panini's Immaculate design eh?

[eastbayak]

Gotta give credit to Khal, he called this one (a high-end product with Wemby auto chases).

[dizzy4111]

More unlicensed trash

Think about how cool a release like this would be if they waited, but no

[boxbuster7]

does it come with lube?

Well done!

[PSA2Pac]

In for 395 cases easy

[ThatGuyPal]

I'm not buying but I don't see the point in mentioning the unlicensed aspect of a product like this, you can guarantee these will be priced like Flawless/Immaculate/NT in the future, this isn't like people choosing Leaf over Panini cause it's cheaper these will be the only option moving forward. I hate unlicensed too but acting like these won't be massive cards if he becomes Lebron-level is just naive, it's the same reason even though I passed on Chrome B-Ball even many unlicensed haters are ripping the product en masse.

Good Grief...

It is funny that all off-season I haven't even heard a peep about Sarr, Risacher, or Reed (Reed I've heard a little from but that's because I'm a Rockets fan so I go looking for it)

Makes me wonder if people will even care when the 2024 cards come out

[The_Reverend]

Fanatics Topps Slot machine. Topps Basketball releases are just gambling.

I'll make the first positive comment.

Happy to see the return of actual game used!

"the relics contained in this card are not from any specific game event or season"

[eastbayak]

On the bright side, this product establishes a decent floor.

Panini constantly drops licensed (trash) products in the $1k+ range where you're lucky to recoup 10%.
