Since watching these breaks are not entertaining, I've taken to messaging and trolling eBay sellers who ask several thousand dollars for Wemby autos.

Fixed the link. Also appears there are Redemptions as well as if there weren't enough live ones.

Hi

I know 2023-24 Topps Chrome Basketball wont be out until July..


Currently Lebron James Fifth Year Laker Rookie cards will be in this product and we could see VICTOR WEMBANYAMA SECOND YEAR ROOKIES / BRANDON MILLER/SCOOT HENDERSON/STEPHEN CURRY PAJAMA CARDS and a few others if they get called up soon.
at $500 / hobby box doesnt it sound to good to be true?

Lebron fifth year laker Base Rookies will probably sell for $50-$75 while Wemby-BMill could be in the $25-50 range.

By this time PSA should have a $35-50 grading level


Any thoughts on the potential of this product as well as the current price?

I think it could be one of the hottest products if not the hottest of these past years.

I'd rather fight it out FCFS than low chance, pure luck EQL. Can't remember many FCFS releases that I wanted and that I missed.

Like a colorblast designed on an early 90s printer.

I heard that Topps are offering the hobby boxes back to card shops at over $525 a box. Could explain why the drop today was so limited (and why not many people seemingly won)

Customer hit this bad boy out of one of the first boxes sold in my store today. I did reservations since I just got one case, at $390 per box.

Loupe just gave $10 dollar credit and if somebody hits the 1/1 auto they get $10,000

Need to renew my PSA memebership might do it and use the credits on breaks lol

I Feel a little bit of FOMO but not a enough to pay $50 for a random team spot


I'll stick to the Prizm & select rookie variations lol

I'm actually digging those Helix inserts but want to know if they are refractory or just base looking, I can't tell from ebay listings.

Moreso commenting on the angle to hide the lack of licensing, but to each their own.

We knew it.

"BUT THEY RIP SOOO MUCH MOAR PRODUCT"

It's so clear this early rip is creating FOMO before every dick and harry gets skunked when the real boxes arrive

These cards are so ugly. As hard as some of you all are trying to pump this terrible product, at the end of the day, the cards look AWFUL. Even the Wemby base. These look like an undergraduate design project. The Prizm card is better and more collectible. Only the autos have a chance of not tanking.

The base card is already down to $40 after starting at $80 earlier today. Where is it next week. $15?
