"At one point" is the key part of your phrase, where are they at now? Last I checked, they were basically sitting at MSRP. So again, no idea if Genesis goes up or down but judging by most of history with these hyped-up sets, I'd be wary of considering boxes investment material.

lol, no they aren't. Nothing is going to trump Chrome or Sapphire, it doesn't matter which territory it was released. Genesis is a sack of #@#@#@#@ in comparison.

Look at the 1990 Impel set. That enjoyed a HUGE resurgence during the COVID bubble. Anybody talking about it now? The only reason anybody cared was collectors were hungry for ANYTHING that could fill the void of waiting for a new release. It really was a perfect storm. The time we're in now is all about the next thing. And I agree with bub838 above - when they do mass Chrome and Sapphire releases, those will be the sought-after versions. Wait til they put the "RC", "First Card", or whatever badge on new cards - you know it's coming regardless of whether they had cards before.

Those generic sets with cut and paste reused artwork and signatures of ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Hulk’? If something is a sack of %#%$& next to that, that’s pretty impressive.

https://goldin.co/item/2024-topps-ch...JkSW5kZXgiOjF9 Apparently the Mickey Mouse Disney 100 Chrome Super sold for $500k aswell, i'm afraid those 'UK releases' are going to be untouchable. |

It’s a shame the marvel card paradigm went from painted, art-centric sets to cards with RC and ‘Debut’ logos on them…the bread and butter of the speculators….if that’s really what we have in store for the future. May as well discuss these new Topps marvel sets up in one of the sports sections like Baseball.

If sales like the above are even legit, that is a game being played where the Iron Man happens to be a pawn…..hobbyists and collectors are not dropping $38k for a card like that.

Best way to comp these would be to compare the star wars supers to the Chrome Black 1/1 and the supers go for more $$. The play for Genesis is to flip them for 2-3x (or more) to the Breaker bros, and buy a box of Chrome Marvel or Disney Chrome if you want to rip a better product. |

Topps is denying the fact the site ever crashed for the release. Their stance is that “this incredibly popular set sold out in minutes” and refuse to acknowledge what actually happened. What a joke

I completed the Topps chrome and chrome sapphire marvel set. I think sapphire base singles are the most visually appealing. But some of the pictures they used suck. On the other hand they did an phenomenal job with Topps Chrome Disney. The pictures are great, vibrant and sharp. Im going to chase down a base and sapphire set once China breaks a bunch of it.
I cant afford Genesis wax. I think its ok. Nothing beats the Topps chrome disney photos tho. Forky is the best looking card hands down |

Are these actual cards or will be they oversized 5x7 or 8x10 prints? The box looks like oversize and not actual card size. If thats the case, im ok bypassing this set
