Is that confirmed? Chrome Update doesn't release til December 17th so I could see Cosmic coming a week before or after that. I don't think the pre-sell has to align with the actual release dates.

And it was $300 last year so it's not a massive price increase. Topps could have made this $400 and it would sell out.

True, but I don't think that you're going to see the massive price increase in the secondary market on this. Last year's rookie class was very deep. This year's class? Not so much. Just a couple that you can consider potential regular all-stars.

Don't forget last year they did EQL for this. So very possible the same is done for the real release.

The EQL landing pages are usually up on the Launch website an hour before releases. Nothing there right now, so I don’t think this is an EQL drop.

They don't use EQL for preorders, maybe once before. It'll be for the main release if so.

My point being, if you want it this might be your chance since we know how the EQL would go.

No checklist or odds yet is pretty cool.

[cbeauch87]

In 3.....2.....1....

[dunquixote1]

Easy breezy for me!

[cbeauch87]

Got 3 boxes easy enough.

[RainCityShecks]

That was easy, got my 1 box. Got too many other real things to buy to justify any more of this stuff.

[RainCityShecks]

Holy cow single boxes out already

[hotcalsun]

Got 5 boxes -- didn't try for cases. Feels like a win.

[Funkster]

Was able to grab two, surprised given how i've been unable to grab any sapphire in two years.

[Boredlawyer]

Here's the cue to whine!

[ReidDeGoo]

Cases were sold out as soon as they appeared on the page, was refreshing like a madman too lmao #thankstopps

[Funkster]

SIngle boxes still show as available?

They'll show in and out for the next 30 minutes or so as a couple of times are put back into circulation for cancelled orders -- whether by Topps or individuals.

[MotorboatJones]

I just went in now at 12:14 pm ET and bought 2 boxes no issue at all

[MotorboatJones]

7 boxes still available right now

[eastbayak]

Went for 10 boxes and ended up with 20. Didn't intend to get so many, unsure what exactly happened, but I guess I'll roll with it.

[Bob Ross]

Ok, so case size dropped to 8 from 12 in 2024. Cases this year are 4 autos per case. So an Auto every 2 boxes.

[cbeauch87]

Side note, anyone ever sell Topps NOW codes? I have enough Topps reward points for 5 of the $40 off codes, but I never order Topps Now cards.

[MotorboatJones]

Grabbed a 3rd box as well. Looks like sold out for good on presale now
