2025 Topps Chrome Spongebob

[Howie7107]

Decided after hitting the Spongebob license earlier and the way some of these cases are running to finish out my last two boxes....

1/1 Sketch, Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy)/Doug Lawrence (Larry Lobster) Dual Auto and Paul Tibbit (Doodle Bob) Auto

Pretty ridiculous haul. Love these cards. Will post pictures shortly.

5 best pulls from 5 boxes:

Wow… all of those cards are really cool. Topps did a good job with this set.

Barak Kahraman I believe. Looks like he has done a bunch of Star Wars sketches for Topps. No idea if he is popular. But the sketches are like min $400 on eBay which seems crazy.

The spongebob sketches in general, or just his?

Great set! Love it.

Ripped one blaster box and didn't get much, but it was one of my most enjoyable ripping experiences in a while. SpongeBob is such an iconic franchise.

Did you find one on the wild?

If they get sketch quality like this for Marvel back again, I think we're going to see some insane numbers...

The Spongebob sketches should retain a premium, but I do think the lesser characters will end up settling in the $200 range once eBay is flooded soon. There is definitely a wide variety of quality within the sketches - some look very professional while others look mediocre.

I just realized Mr Krabs didnt sign autographs

The spongebob Driver License is a major chase only /99 with no other parallels.

1/1 Supers are doing really well.

Sponge/Squidward/Patrick Voice Actor Triple Auto Super did $21k
Patrick Fishnets did $9k via 130point.

Seems there is a ton of interest. Someone hit the BIN on my sketch for ~$600. Tons of offers on basically everything else I’ve listed. Still holding out for $1200ish on the Licene (2 confirmed sales for $1200 and $1399 I believe).

Value boxes finally sold out on Topps.. only took 5 days lol

People were buying these on ebay for like $60 when they were sitting on Topps lol

The real tell for me will be how any of the base and parallels sell. Right now ebay is mostly sketches and autos, but that will all change when people get their cards from breakers in a couple weeks. It's a unique set in that everyone has their own favorite SB episodes and memories, so I may hunt down certain cards that no one cares about and vice versa. Good for those that want to PC.

Interestingly enough all the breakers that seemed to be hot on this over the weekend have gone back to ripping Disney today.

This is an incredible product. Just opened a couple hobby and blasters and the cards look great, some really cool inserts as well. Looking at completed sales I’d expect sealed hobby box prices rise from here. The real/facsimile autos and sketches are bringing great prices, and the superfractors have been selling for some eye popping numbers. Some serious upside with this stuff!

It seems like it's going the other way. Breakers had this stuff at $500+ a box less than a week ago and looking now I see one large breaker is at $350 a box. That said, it may not be a product ideal for breakers, as hobby only has 2 or so parallels per box so it may be harder for them to sell the value. Doesn't help that so many are trying to sell 200+ spots in a break for a case which leaves 95% of customers missing and probably not coming back for more. I'll be curious to see how it shakes out over the next month, but I for one think it's an awesome product and would love to see it get cheaper.

Yeah, I also think these will go down over the next 2 weeks. Breakers seem to be moving on or back to Disney. Next week, Topps Disney Wonder..

Also, wait until the people who won EQL on release get their boxes to relist on ebay then it'll be a race to the bottom.

Honestly, the blasters seem like the better value from what I've seen.
If this product was Hobby only then boxes would definitely go up.

Long-term these could be interesting holds, especially if the big name supers don't show up.

I don't understand why people are saying boxes will go down when ebay barely has any listings for boxes anymore and they're all starting to be a minimum at $400 and up, with most of them being >$400

I’m tempted to buy more. Had a ton of fun but my rip probably a huge outlier. I do think prices almost have to go up if you look at singles prices.

I already ponder my life choices after I ordered 3 more boxes from a separate case/someones EQL order. This will be a total of 8 boxes for me, 5 from 1 case and 3 that I am not too optimistic on the pulls...

I still think the case I got the 5 boxes from has another great hit in it.. has to be another /50 auto remaining in there or something..

Single prices are going to drop significantly in 2 weeks. All the people who get their cards from breaks will list and the market will be flooded. With most breaks being 200 spots, sorting takes forever so there will be a lag in listings, but it is coming.

Layton has boxes at $350, down from $450. I'll use them as a barometer on box prices since they do so much volume.
