Now this is more like the old Topps UFC sets, AKA Ink looks awesome, shame there are stickers but the auto designs look really good.

Crashingwaves · 09-18-2024, 08:42 AM

Knockout was always my fav release. Saw the Conor might have signed as well... that will be a boost.

Fanatics better be stepping up here.

gorillaz · 09-19-2024, 10:23 PM

Connor having start signing is huge.

Joshi City · 09-21-2024, 12:46 PM

I don't love the price ($300 seems to be the consensus pre-order price with the more respected online retailers), but with Conor in the set it isn't a big surprise. I like the look of the cards. I haven't purchased a UFC box in years as I just don't think enough of the fighters hold value but may dive in for one of these.

I guess I just don’t understand people still being infatuated with Conor and why his autos still sell for so much:

1. His signature is terrible.
2. He hasn’t won a fight in nearly 5 years.
3. His numerous antics/crimes make him seem like an asshat.

I will say however his whiskey isn’t nearly as bad as people tried to make it out to be.

Just saw on a Topps Twitter post it drops Fri. at $199, typical LCS gouges or maybe they hoped if they all banded together Topps would set it at a higher price lol

Also found this, has a link to the checklist.

Doesn't seem like a bad rip buying from Topps, weren't Midnight/Chrome around that price for a lot less hits or am I tripping?

wakigatame · 10-01-2024, 05:31 AM

I have two boxes coming. Haven't bought a UFC product since 2011 UFC Finest. Had a lot of fun with that, and I love the look of these cards. Hoping to hit something cool.

Does that mean Topps will have them for sale on Friday? Do they sell out quick?

Will sell out immediately

Yeah Topps will either put them on sale in single-box, case-form or do a "line system" where you sign up and are informed if/when you get the chance to purchase. I doubt UFC is doing a line, here's a link you can sign up to be notified when it drops:

https://www.topps.com/pages/topps-knockout-ufc

Looking at the same page it looks like it drops Fri 12:00 PM EST.

I haven't checked pre-order prices lately and UFC doesn't usually sell out that quick but if pre-orders are still around $300 and Topps is $200 I think they are gonna go pretty fast. It's also probably the best set since they got back with Topps (On-card, Connor autos) so it will definitely have interest. Keep in mind they also don't seperate cases so cases may stick around while everyone buys single boxes but if those run out there will only be the full case avail

Joshi City · 10-02-2024, 06:57 PM

I feel a little derpy pre-ordering a box for $295 since I didn't know Topps was doing that but at least I'll get an early jump on it anyway (my box shipped today) and it was only one. I may still try to grab one or two Friday, depending on how fast they sell out.

gorillaz · 10-04-2024, 09:20 AM

The cards are in nice person, but the product is buns. I tried a box today and the hits are brutal lol

Brobocop · 10-04-2024, 10:27 AM

I'm not shocked. 2012 Knockout is my favorite all-time wax product. Opened so much of it. I'm halfway tempted to try a box but even at $200, seems like you will be losing 75% of your money at least.

Kmangio · 10-04-2024, 11:08 AM

Was on the site right at 12, both boxes and cases were already sold out. Checked 5 min later still sold out. I’m sick to my stomach.

BRob1 · 10-04-2024, 12:55 PM

I’m going to need to get my hands on the triple of BJ/GSP/Hughes. Epic era of welterweight.

If there weren't limits this was either botted or the most popular UFC release so far as both Chrome and Midnight didn't sell out immediately after opening, I know this has a smaller run but I still can't see that many people being able to wait and buy at 12 PM EST on a Fri without bots.

wakigatame · 10-04-2024, 02:29 PM

I got an auto/mem of Sean O'Malley 46/50 and that's the only hit I got worth mentioning. Maybe the Raul Rosas auto/mem numbered 1/8, too. Not much beyond that. Fun product to rip, though.

Joshi City · 10-04-2024, 03:31 PM

I've never had much luck with UFC and that continues as not only were my cards brutal but I was shorted the auto relic that the box claims should have been inside. At least I only got one box, easier to take.

His last fight was pretty trash but Rosas is still one of the top up and comers, I'd say you did pretty amazing between that and O'Malley from the rips I've seen.

Nothing really gets botted on topps anymore and no groups were telling people to buy. It must have been pretty small stock.

Definitely possible since it feels alot of LCS/Breakers had big allocations before it was even released on Topps. Don't know how much was left to sell on the site, people had their boxes shipped 10/02 (Joshi City), I've seen a ton of breaks yesterday which obviously didn't arrive the day Topps put it on their site, plus I've even seen "preview" rips from Thurs. before the product is even out. A lot of these same people had breaks available as well.
