I’ve opened about 15-20 cases of this since the reduction to $280. The parallels do great on COMC. I’ve pulled 3x Supers (Isco was the best one), 10-15x red (Haaland being the best), a Messi Auto /10 (which was the one that got traction on Reddit and the NYT), Cole Palmer auto /15, and many many other great cards. I’ve had some stinker cases but I’ve had some that have cooked. Some of the notable autos I’ve pulled are Messi’s brother /10, Fernando Torres x2 both /15, Gerrard x2, Delap /15, Palmer /15, Red Xabi Alonso /5, Joao Felix /15, Neymar /10, Pedri x2 one being /15, and Depay /10. One I opened yesterday had a Super, Messi /35, Jumbo Salah /25, Jumbo Messi /35, Xabi Alonso Auto /15, Neymar /25, and De Bruyne /25. Am I up? I’m not sure. But I’ll say that I’m very close if I’m not. Being able to rip this much of a product though and sniff breaking even is a good feeling.

Those are great hits! My two cases' parallels have been pretty dud...Let see what next two cases will yield...

You're welcome!

The case I just opened had a PSG red/5 All-Star hit!

Let's check who it could be: Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, or Marco Verrati, man either of the first two would be amazing!!

So of course it was Verrati....

[gomiamigo]

My 2 best autos thus far were Cole Palmer/30 and Fernando Torres/15.

Oh and a Vini base auto ain't bad either I guess.

I haven't been following those auctions, but I'm guessing it's listed by one of the big Chinese consignors? Their auctions are shilled 99.99% of the time. Almost always re-listed in a week.

That's awesome! Y'all convinced me to order a case last week. It's supposed to be delivered today.

At $280-300 a case, you're going to have fun no matter what you pull.....not many other products out there these days at $50/box.....

Hope you get a banger! The POP reports indicate most of the major supers have been pulled, but very few of the red/orange of the major autos appear to have been graded. I think the POP reports are pretty telling on this product because they’re mostly pretty clean for grading. So if big cards get pulled I think a large percentage will be sent in. I’ve so no indication the Messi Super has been pulled though. It may still be out there…

Where are you guys buying these cases? Might pick one up to rip with my son. Link if possible please.

spare me the fauxrage

I personally use D&A, naturally it was the first that came to mind. I'm fairly certain it's not going to hurt blowouts 8 figure revenue.

Well I took out one of the weaker cases for y'all. Best card was a Salah Gold. Auto was Tonali /30. It was still a fun rip though!

[dubsea]

Thanks fellas.

Well after thinking a bit I decided to try a 6 box case. For the price it's hard to get hurt too bad. I opened this when released and remember it being a fun break. I think my best cards back then were a Jumbo Black #/25 of Ronaldo, a Gavi refractor, Cole Palmer #/35, plus others.

Pulling a superfractor would be amazing so here's to hoping

I'll post my results once I open

[gomiamigo]

Pulled the Greizmannn super, my first superfractor of any kind!

Congrats, but where's the pic?!!!

Sorry if this has been covered, but thoughts on the 2021/22 Topps UEFA Champions League Finest Flashbacks vs 2022/23 Topps Finest Flashbacks UEFA Club Competitions. Is one by far more fun to rip than the other and or value of singles?

Scroll up about 30 posts. I missed it too.

2022-23 way better, go crazy!

My case did not have any auto
Best card was jumbo gold Messi.

[Tonic3]

Finished my case of 21/22:

Color: Cole Palmer RC gold #15/50, Kenneth Taylor gold #26/50, Ruben Dias Prism #31/35, Mbappe All-Stars Prism #31/35, De Bruyne Jumbo Prism #/35, Nmecha Black #06/25, Joao Cancelo red #2/5

Auto: Weah aqua #02/30

Not too shabby. Happy hunting everyone

Strongly disagree. Content aside, the 2022/23 almost all come out of the packs with heavy waviness. You can barely even stack the cards.

I'll second this. 2021/22 is a beautiful set that I think has more potential to be collectable down the line. 2022/23 just doesn't pop the same way for me.

Has anyone calculated the print run on regular refractors? It should be ~120, correct?
