Default First Buzz: 2025-26 Topps Finest basketball cards

I will say after what they did with Chrome, this is the nail in the coffin on Topps for me. I’m out on any new product they release going forward. And I’m not an idiot degenerate who will spend on breaks, so Topps has completely lost me as a customer.

Why are we paying $500 for a box of this? Because maybe Flagg?

I know its not 2018 anymore but $500?

We’re actually not, because we can’t buy it.

Perceptions like YOURS,...are truly...a fundamental problem with our hobby, these days!

Being,...A REALIST, does not ~ "negative". If you think for one, solitary-second...that Ruby & Co.,....GIVE A FUHHH about you (let alone; this hobby!),...then you, my friend...are the problem, and not those who tell it like it [phonetically] TEE...EYE....IZ! The entire industry, IS A FARCE!!

Curious why it doesn't just say sold out... Is there any actually left? How much was ever actually available?

won't be nearly as popular as chrome because it will be competing against other products, no reason to make it impossible to get even 1 box

Lots of people don't appreciate the facts and truths, NJ.

The guys that lick Fanatics' boots, do you think they start at the heel or the toe?

Bob is the real one, this hobby isn't fun when it comes to the products and trying to obtain an overpriced box.

The problem isn't you complain, it's that not one time have you ever offered or agreed with a realistic option to buy these products. You just expect to be gifted free money.

What is even the point of offering a case option on these products now? Has there been 1 manual case checkout on the last 10+ in demand releases? I don't mean 1 per release. I mean 1 total across all 10+.

Anyone with a brain knows auctions of any form are the realistic option. Obviously fair ones would be ideal but with these bums that isn’t going to happen. Either way with auctions everyone is on an even playing field, bots will leave forever, and you can buy as much as you want. No more zero chances at cases and max 1 or 2 box bs. But you don’t want that because then you have to take a risk.

As long as Fanatics is allowed to do this hold back tons of product crap to create artificial scarcity and sell to only a select few at higher prices later they will never go to auctions on a regular basis. If they were required to release all product immediately at or before release, like everyone else in history has done until they started this crap, they would run auctions.

Everyone just needs to stop buying Topps products is what it comes down to. Until you hit Topps on their P&L, they’re not going to give a damn if the regular consumer is upset over the site crashing. They make plenty from the Breakers.
