Did topps promote that from the start?

Yeah, product page shows on card autos

Good job, Fanatics! Keep up the great work!

Looks like they have Kanji SPs and Photo Varation SPs that are on the paper stock so not all "light" packs are hitless.

It’s too bad those aren’t chrome.

Not my card, but saw this pulled in a Discord

That's kinda cool.

I'm waiting until Sunday/Christmas. Unless impulse gets me. I would like my brother to be here when I open it. I have compared my 2 packages with 1 pack to others on x. And here are rsults.

Source Lighter Pack Weight (g) Heavier Pack Weight (g) Weight Difference (g)
X #1 9.93 x7 12.47 2.54
X#2 9.92 12.47 2.55
My Packs 9.92 12.75 2.83

I did rough conversions and I'm confused. If mine is actually more more, it's likely an error I'm guessing.

Hollywood42 · 12-17-2024, 11:03 PM

I got my 2 packs today. Quick thoughts:

I think they look better in person. Images I've seen of the parallels look nice too. Card stock is pretty similar to flagship, not amazing but I don't have a problem with it. As far as I can tell without doing any research, each photo is unique to the specific event which is what I was most concerned about. However major disappointment that all backs have the same generic 3 sentences. Would have been a lot cooler if each one say "With 1 out and 2 runners on in the bottom of the 3rd inning, Shohei connected with his Nth home run of the season to give the Dodgers a 5-2 lead"

Is a single pack worth 25 bucks? Nah. But I don't think many packs are worth their price anymore these days

Kinda leaning against trying to complete a base set with 10 cards now in hand, don't like it quite enough to commit to it. But it was a fun little rip for something different

cj828282 · 12-17-2024, 11:40 PM

I thought this was not expected until after Christmas. Really strange seeing packs already opened and hitting bangers.

no10pin · 12-18-2024, 12:14 AM

Yeah, mine still shows processing. I definitely don't spend enough to get in the first wave of shipments.

boxbuster7 · 12-18-2024, 12:17 AM

Careful to anybody buying these packs on the secondary

Everybody on sports card nonsense is weighing them

I only purchased 2 packs, separately and hours apart. I'm surprised they arrived together.

Saw this image variation posted on eBay. How would you even know if you got a photo variation?

Also saw this Kanji variation

boxbuster7 · 12-18-2024, 12:56 AM

this set kinda sucks imo - even the superfractor autos kinda lame and uninspired

skipfreely · 12-18-2024, 08:41 AM

My 4 packs showed up, 1 was heavier then the rest. It just had 6 cards instead of 5.

One out of 6 chrome autos in the set, not sure any particular event would garner a higher premium than the other events. They would all look very similar, like the rest of the set.

Would double check its not a image variation or kanji short print.

This is a cheaper version of Mercury.

Fanatics is so sh1tty that this product is the first in history where weighing discussion is alright to talk about.

The worst feeling is watching prices tank while you are still waiting for your packs.
