And WOW - that checklist is absolutely AWFUL. I would warn folks to be very careful buying this product. Insert checklist is just as lazy and bad as BUC, which is a big problem.



Best U is about to be brutal this year.

Is there a single auto of anyone who isn't already available? It looks like less autos in the checklist, but man, what a lot of repeats.

I would advise buying singles. I don't plan on any BUB. I would rather have some sapphire or more BD boxes.

That also is a glaring indictment that they are dumping it after Christmas. 4th quarter must be a struggle at topps.

No one that jumps out to me (regarding anyone without an auto already). Luckily they have the big names - Nico, Williams, Lagway. But the insert checklist, and specifically insert auto checklists, are a big step down from last year. Last year you had guys like Caleb, Nix, Maye, McCarthy, Beck, Marvin, Bowers, Shedeur, and others with insert autos.

To use your term ("an indictment") - for me not to buy any cases of a Bowman U product is very rare. First time ever for me, I believe. But it's going to be that bad.

Almost at the bottom of the first page? Let's get this back to the top. Got this in the mail yesterday. Think there's some pretty good upside for next year, we'll see.

Love it - congrats! I'm a huge A&M fan and think Reed has just begun to scratch the surface of what he's capable of. That's a beauty!

Two mega boxes

Thanks. I actually made it out to the t.u. A&M game. That was my first time at Kyle Field and was impressed w the atmosphere! I’ll definitely be following Reed next year.

I was just coming here to ask this. Almost 3 weeks before release?

I’d say this was the best of the three jumbo cases. Williams /99, Baxter is SP Variation/25, three playoff QBs and heavy on the GOLD!

BUC truly is the path to glory!

Speaking of, Path to Glory is an odd insert set, just highlining the season schedule. Wouldn't Path to Glory be a great Transfer Portal subset?

Maybe they can make a transfer portal specific insert set where a player is depicted in uniform for every team they've played for. Lol
Some of these guys would appear in 3-4 different uniforms on the same card.

Yeah, I thought it was weird to get a season schedule after all the games were played....

That is an excellent idea! Make it almost like an Illusions card with the former team(s) faded in the background and the current team image at the forefront.

They are great looking cards, but yeah I am pissed that someone has such advanced access over all the rest of us. Though it makes me think the December 27 release date will be held to since the printing must have been completed without much difficulty. I have been checking topps.com but nothing there yet.

I just reported this guy/seller to Topps w/ receipts. Let's see if the posts come down.

[foleylion08]

I don't think the ebay seller is necessarily at fault. It's quite obvious the listings are screenshots from a break. So Topps would probably want to know the breaker.

Seller of unreleased product seems like a great starting point. I'm sure they know exactly where they got the product from.............

He can reveal where they came from, but I don't see why this seller is being vilified. Could be a guy who joined a random break on whatnot. It's not necessarily diabolical or dishonest on his part.

Nobody is villifiing anyone. Product got out prior to release. Likely a very popular, difficult to procure and highly saught after product at that. Topps should do what they have to do to figure out how and why. If they hurt the sellers feelings by asking as you've implied, so be it.

Hey now, in fairness the product was released just before the final regular season game.
