Oh, that’s because everything is being slanted towards breakers. Despite what the holdout huggers say.

I don't understand the lack of Luka cards...which to me really hurts these products. What's the excuse for leaving him out of this? He has Topps Now cards so they can make cards of him.

2 vet players per team but some interesting player omissions (KD, Zion, etc).

Otherwise, strong and small base checklist.

Lots of weak autos (some good autos) too.

Going to be 99.4% abysmal boxes with all of this filler and 7 cards per box.

At this retail price: maybe one of the worst vaues of all time?

Just setting up Midnight Update…

I really hope everyone is selling their Topps Chrome hits now because Topps is just going to keep churning out product after product and flood the market with Cooper and Kon autos. I suspect you'll be able to buy some of the Flagg autos from this set for the price of 2 boxes (or less)

Tonic3 · 01-06-2026, 12:05 PM

So the picture of the box says Chrome cards. Is this a first for Midnight? I thought they were more of a thick paper stock.

anusinha · 01-06-2026, 12:13 PM

3 autos.... so I guess the assumption is that it is like a chrome jumbo box

Topps design team is ass. Most of their designs look like AI slop. I usually buy singles but staying away from every card in this set.

Tonic3 · 01-06-2026, 12:47 PM

So basically a “Breakers Delight” box but with fewer base cards and parallels (likely)

Entered for a case and 2 loose boxes because YOLO

Entered for 4 boxes. Looking forward to my 10th “sorry” email from Topps.

EQL Discord numbers:

Box winners in EQL Discord: 53
Case winners in EQL Discord: 0

This is a lot of winners. They released a lot of this to public.

bub838 · 01-06-2026, 03:32 PM

Damnit, I won. That can't be a good sign.

Funny we complain when we lose but also complain when we hit. What a world we live in. I won 4 boxes. At least they’re chrome style autograph cards. That’s a good sign at the minimum as the previous thick cards sucked ass.

Bob Ross · 01-06-2026, 03:40 PM

Also, shorter-ish loan on this one. Jan 29 release.

I'm definitely not complaining..it's still an NBA Licensed Product.

eastbayak · 01-06-2026, 03:52 PM

Didn’t hit on the case and probably didn’t hit on the 2 loose boxes either.

jjcan · 01-06-2026, 04:00 PM

Won a box, was thinking I would just up my EQL odds for next time as I would not win.

Yay?
