It depends - what do you think a cooper Flagg base rookie will come out at initially?

I was guessing $100 for his base rc.

No baseball base rookie sells for anywhere close to $5.

you guys actually think you have a fair shot at getting this tomorrow?

Bob Ross · 11-17-2025, 03:24 PM

Well, kiddos. As appalling as it is that these Fanatics sh1theads aren't giving us the price for their biggest release of all time tomorrow, we get a 2 hour heads up to see what they price them at at 10am EST tomorrow on the international sites.

Great company!

The official checklist has 300 cards, but the write-up on the website says 299.

Luka wasn't on the official checklist so I wonder who they are giving the boot to.

Also, have they addressed why Luka wasn't included?

cases no. single boxes a few maybe because they are probably going have very low limits while loading a ton like they did with flagship

Not a chance in hell. This will be botted even more than paper. Cook groups already nutting over this drop. All the shoeboys who bot will be in on this product. While it would be great if normal people get a box, our chances are slim to none. The bots will eat, we will not.

Almost makes me want to get a bot for topps drops. Why doesn't topps do the lottery system like fanatics did during the covid boom? That pretty much kills bots. I'm assuming topps/fanatics doesn't care too much as they're making hand over fist.

Stuff is gonna be hotter than fish grease.

This draft class is very deep early.

Coop/VJ/Knipple/Tre/Ace all showing early glimpses. Supplemented by guys like Harper/Fears/Kalk/Coward all getting good playing time.

A far cry from last year's class.

This ain't beisbol.

Based on the checklist alone, I would think that they junk wax printed this stuff.

dirtywax · 11-18-2025, 07:38 AM

They might go crazy high on these with 3 autos/jumbo. Didn't basketball prizm release hobby with 1 auto for like $800?

If they are smart they go 2 autos and not 3, they can make more boxes that way.

cloudflare issues seem to have knocked down topps.com

Yup, Cloudflare has taken down large swathes of the internet and topps clearly uses them to determine if someone is a bot or real person.

Ironic that it has taken down the site on the day Chrome Basketball is up for pre-order.

Yes, ironic

Guys relax…. If you can’t get any with the presale… there’s always a good chance some will be available to breakers. You can buy into one team, 1 of 30 teams, for 5 /10 boxes for only like 300-500$ each. Everyone wins. They are great friends as long as you pay them. Then once you get the results and your 500$ turns into 20$ in the secondary market. You had a chance at doubling your money though.

How do you not love this hobby, it’s easily available when it gets fractionalized.

Can’t afford a 1 team break… don’t worry… there will be retail. Very limited … slow drip at launch. If you’re good at pushing kids out of the way you may be able to snag a blaster or two.
