Thank you. I was a little surprised to see how strong his stuff sells. I'm guessing their might be some large Intl money component to it...

Kindly post a pic, if you may.

Here you go. I’m sending it in for replacement.

Right out of the pack, WTF. Curious how your replacement efforts will pan out.

Autos: Jarred Vanderbilt redemption auto (80/81 auto), Kris Murray Notch Signatures
Topps Foil parallels: LeBron, Edgecombe RC, Flagg RC, Giannis
Pink Holofoil (PR 830): Jalen Green, Jalen Johnson
Aqua Holofoil (PR 200): Wembanyama

That is pretty decent. I opened 6 Fanatic blasters and my Topps Foil were not that great. I did get a Bane auto and a 2 Aqua foils, no one big (Bronny) I did not know they were PR200.

I will probably still order more, for the price they are fun to open vs a Hobby box.

Yeah, quality control for this product has been horrible. Best of luck!

I see the Maxine Reynaud of the same card sold for $4k.

If anyone has any serious leads on a buyer, I will pay a finders fee. Thanks.

Congrats on the 1/1! Always fun to pull nice 1/1s out of retail, particularly blaster boxes.

I wholeheartedly agree with your position to return for replacement.

I'm almost superfluous to nasium; I know. But truly; yet another example of the sheer INCOMPETENCE, that is Topps/Fanatics. In what..."WORLD", of Quality Assurance/Quality Control, is it professionally-acceptable (not to mention; conscionable), to approve the pack-out,...of a card of that magnitude, significance, and value...in that condition?!? I mean, SERIOUSLY!?! We are actually dealing with INCOMPETENCE, at a truly incomprehensible level! This ain't a base, Ben Simmons card, or a auto of some UDFA...!?! It's the damn POSTER BOY of your Flagship product; conceivably/potentially,..a GENERATIONAL TALENT, and you just let a 4+ figure card get packed-out with (relatively speaking) SIGNIFICANT,...UNMISTAKABLE,...CLEARLY NOTICEABLE, damage...!?! Unfrickin' believable!!

Nevertheless, congrats again.

You should see SOME OF the Exquisite, Ultimate Collection, UD Black CARds, Upper Deck released BACK In THE Day.

Someo of THOSE Logomen BARELY grade a PSA 6.

From a product perspective, what is the best card possible to pull from retail whether it is a blaster, hanger, or a mega box? I know the jumbo boxes you can pull superfractors and black chromes, and has anyone seen or heard of any of these options being pulled from retail. TIA.

[oldgoldy97]

Two Fanatics blasters.

One Cooper RC, best logo parallel was Lebron.


I have one mega coming someday (no movement in a week). Then I’m done. A few hundred dollars of trash so far.

This made me lol more than it should have! She had a buttah face and you melted it right off

[h00perstar34]

Ripped a boatload of megas and not gonna lie they were pretty rough. My 6 fanatics blasters best hits were Harper parallel and Bryant hardwood stars RC. Got my 2 hobbies and hit a Noah Essengue auto and a Flagg contemporary marks rainbow parallel auto

take the L you got bested, grow up

Opened my first 3 of 9 Fanatics Blasters tonight. Pulled a Ben Saraf Team Color Border parallel, 2 Flagg base, 1 Edgecombe base, 1 Edgecombe Insert, 1 Dylan Harper insert. No rookies in the exclusive foil pattern parallels, best one was Lebron and probably Cade after that

[Tonic3]

Opened another Jumbo tonight. Stoked to pull an All Kings

Fire pull.

I haven’t ripped anything yet.. just have purchased a few singles I like..

Idk if it’s just nostalgia, but this Topps release buries everything panini has done since like 2020 for me.

Guessing that card was either a test or shouldn't have been packed out for retail.

Hoping that means there's a complete set coming for Monty members...
