Yeah, that’s the thing. I don’t know UFC and don’t know anything about the rookie class.

1 Auto per box is nice, plus the brains at Fanatics will raise the price to god knows what for the real release, so I'm in. Why the hell not.

Best,
Bob

With no checklist, nobody know's anything about the rookie class.

I still haven’t received the email. Not really a big deal today but I hope this isn’t the case for the last 4 drops.

It shouldn’t be a unique link. Try this https://www.topps.com/products/2025-...6,5SDZ2,6EEK,1

This is the first UFC sapphire release, correct?

If so, it might be worth it to buy a box.

I thought it was but when looking for a checklist, I came across this article with this text:

Quote:
The Sapphire edition of Topps Chrome UFC is back for 2025, bringing with it the bold, blue-crystal finish collectors have come to expect from Sapphire across sports.
So I don't see any 2024 on the market but ... not a collector of UFC

This site state's "2025 Topps Chrome Sapphire UFC marks the brand's debut in the MMA collecting realm."

https://www.checklistinsider.com/202...e-sapphire-ufc

My guess is Topps screwed up its wording in its press release.

Thank you for this but I am getting a “link is broken” page from that link. I sent an email to customer service so hopefully it gets straightened out before Museum.

Visit your order history and log in if prompted. Then return to the link. This may be necessary for any future releases to re-auth your tokens.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking. It's a guaranteed auto and first sapphire release.

This!

Step 1. Log into your Topps account
Step 2. Click the Preorder email link.

And just in case, signup for and have a shopify account.
Not sure but that may be needed too

I did. It was on topps’ end. They fixed it really quickly through chat. I was impressed with the CS. Now I’m tempted to buy one but I don’t really want to haha.

This would be easy except the whole problem was that I didn’t receive the email link from Topps. This (Step 2) is what presented the problem. Topps CS fixed it very quickly so if anyone else experiences this just start a CS chat and it should happen fast.

1st year WWE Sapphire with a guaranteed auto is selling for $290 a box. Hobby is $475. UFC hobby is deader than dead right now. UFC Chrome hobby is $220 a box. Im sure so and so will say I made x amount on my WWE Sapphire because you sold in the preorder window when you could make money.

It's only 1 box sub $300 so who cares. But this product is far from a guarantee.

Haha, that's one reason why I haven't jumped on a box yet (and may ultimately pass).

IIRC though, Topps hurt the WWE Sapphire product by making the chase autos harder (and more limited).

Haha, I did flip my WWE Sapphire boxes (immediately) and turned it into 2 WWE hobby boxes (which I've since moved to recoup funds spent on PC singles).

Agree. This has the stench of that initial 'Star Wars' turd that Topps unloaded on the unsuspecting MC folks at the start of this year.

On a separate note, I picked up a sealed box of 2024 Topps Star Wars Hyperspace for $115 shipped today.

I didn't even come anywhere close to recouping $115 on the box that I preordered (~$221) but I thought it'd still be a fun box to roll the dice with. Worst case scenario, cheap entertainment for my daughter and I.

I clicked from the email and it said link not working even though I was already logged in to my account. I just clicked on account again on that page, went back and clicked the email link again and then it worked for me. My guess is the Topps site is not initially recognizing you are already logged in and gives that error, prob due to the cloudfare checks delaying recognition.

I had it in my cart. I was about to purchase and just stared at that price of $296 including tax. I thought, “$300? For UFC?”

Considering regular topps chrome is 70.00 less and you get two autographs in a box with more cards than the sapphire version…..easy pass on this one
