Why do you expect this to go “a lot higher?” I’d take the under on that. I say this as someone who loves B&W and would love to flip my box if you’re right.

Mostly same format as 2024 right, which is going for $500? Minus 2 very strong rookies, yes. But still a strong rookie class. And then add the potential for on card autos which is very attractive. That tells me these land more like $450ish in no time. Autos are only one in five mega boxes so I don’t think the megas hurt the hobby box market.

It doesn't seem like Topps pumps out this product as much as others. Singles from prior sets are not necessarily scarce but they're not out there on eBay or COMC in much quantity. I also do not see them often at card shows.

Production quality has historically been very good. Not a huge fan of some of the recent colored stuff. There are other ways to add serial numbered stuff without detracting from the set theme.

It died. RIP 2024. A great product killed by laziness. Topps needs to stop calling it B&W and call it the Rainbow set or something...the lazy different colored parallels are pathetic.

I actually thought the release was semi stale before 2024. I think they made it a far better release last year. But different strokes…

Bob Ross · 12-22-2025, 11:39 AM

Today is day 46 of the free loan to Fanatics. B/W page states release tomorrow at 1pm, but the page is still being hidden unless you google it and there was no mention of it in the "Releasing this week" post on twitter.

Thanks as always, Fanatics! Hope you're enjoying my money!

It was one of the better releases of 2024. Top 5 easily.

eastbayak · 12-22-2025, 11:32 PM

Just received shipping for my 10 boxes.

anusinha · 12-22-2025, 11:36 PM

Same, just got my shipping

ClevelandIC · 12-23-2025, 09:25 AM

Shipping for my 10x Collector's Boxes - nothing on Megas yet.

Bob Ross · 12-23-2025, 10:44 AM

These are very sneakily releasing today at 1pm it seems. No mention or marketing anywhere by Fanatics. It's like they're hiding them.

bustsomewax · 12-23-2025, 12:29 PM

This was a pre order right? Why did nobody have for the new date of the 23rd?

Yep, preorder was Nov 6. And yes, it is odd they didnt have these shipped to land at houses today. But they are shipped. Maybe the holiday screwed up timing.

Now it seems like Fanatics is hiding this product. It's really odd. I glanced at Fanaticslive too. No one is breaking today or any time in the future.

cbeauch87 · 12-23-2025, 12:43 PM

Anyone going to try and grab a few of these?

They printed labels, but hasn’t actually been picked up. Time for a visit to the Topps support chat…

It’s on the home page now.

6 minutes before the release. Lets sweep this under the rug more, Fanatics.

With absolutely no marketing, you'd think this would be doable to buy.

Did you just recently get this jaded or has it been a while? I believe you used to be the Topps coupon guy and pretty happy. Now all your posts are pretty negative. Hope you’re ok Bob! Maybe paint a few more waterfalls.

dunquixote1 · 12-23-2025, 12:57 PM

I just tried to checkout a random item just to make sure I was set and it was a 7 minute line. And that's with nothing dropping. I'm wondering if they didn't advertise it because they already have high traffic right now.

I'm good! I mean, yes, I hate Fanatics, obviously.

I do miss the no limit coupons, though. That makes me sad.
