Smart man! Lowering the cost of the cases!

I'm sure some will gripe that you shouldn't need to take a loan to pre-order a product but if the price with 90 days interest is still cheaper than the release day bump, and you get 90 days of breathing room, that's a great option if tying up personal funds is a concern.

I use affirm at checkout for all of my Topps purchases. I always have an option for 0% interest on 4 payments over 8 weeks with no money down and the first payment 2 weeks after purchase. Only 2 payments get made before release which means that I, personally, are only giving Topps half a loan prior to release. It’s very quick at checkout also.

Also tempted to pick up 10 loose boxes.

Yeah, that's my understanding. I bought 2 cases and 8 loose hoping that the loose come in case form.

It does take you to an extra screen and presents 3, 6, and 12 month options. I avoid 6 and 12 because at that point the interest probably isn't worth it. But for standard presales like today, it's a viable option, and again, the interest is likely cheaper than the release day price as they typically charge more on release.

I'll keep an eye out for this on the next not out of stock immediately release. Thanks for the tip

Only format info I have seen is jumbos.

The patch autos are actually a pretty nice design.

But this is a preorder and we won't get it for a month so the product is poop (so they say).

18 parallels just for base chrome

The added parallels scare me. Still love Pro Debut, especially with Heritage Minor League pretty much behind us. Miss that product.

Turns out "reality" was $109.99 for jumbo, 5344 boxes, and you had all day to buy.

They are just mirroring regular Topps Chrome. My guess is the product will be more chrome centric than in the past.

It definitely will be, 2023 was the first year that Hobby boxes had Chrome, used to be confined to Jumbos. With the one sku, there won't be a format that has an edge.

We need an actual release date first, its gonna be a bit I think, they are much more interested in printing the ridiculous amount of Topps basketball they made.

Same day as Pro Debut's pre-order, they moved Update to Nov. 12th. So I'm assuming they wont bring out both the same day. Or maybe they would.

Ayyyy got a Tri-City Dust Devil to chase. Was hoping Ryan Johnson would get in there. I'm actually very confused why he didn't have any rookie cards this year? He started the season in the Angels bullpen. Did Topps just forget about him?

[tevans333]

As a Tigers fan, I'm looking forward to pulling that triple auto of Clark/McGonigle/Rainer

Logoman checklist is pretty week and dips back a few years. That will at least keep the hype tamed down. Nobody really on there that is gonna bring a bunch of new buyers to the table.

[r0yals2012]

Got Walker Jenkins and Luke Keaschall repping the Wind Surge. Also Kaelen Culpepper but he’s in a Cedar Rapids. Alex Gordon as a Wrangler is a nice touch too!

Man, 5 White Sox on that list. Some nice names on there, just not really new ones.

I was excited about this too!

It just says "We're getting your order ready to be shipped. We will notify you when it has been sent." Who knows when that will be.
