At least he knew who those two were.

Was lucky to snag one box on pre order. What a fun rip! Absolutely love the packaging and card quality. Made my money back with a Sampras /5 auto, and put the rest up for auction... Was hoping for a Roddick, Sharapova, or Agassi as they were my favorites growing up or a banger like Novak or Carlos, but I'll check back in a bit when prices drop.

My case actually both Agassi and Sharapova autos. I will say I wasn’t thrilled with the quality for a $500 product. My Sharapova auto was smudged. I did get a 1/1 of some guy I’ve personally never heard of and it had a dinged corner and one of my boxes only had five autographs instead of six so for me overall this product is meh.

I’ll look to get Sabalenka and Swiatek singles. Maybe Carlos too if the prices aren’t outrageous. What’s the next few sets for tennis looking like?

I watch Degen but unless I’m the dumb one it seems insane valuing a dual Alcaraz/Novak with three including Medvedev. That would be like a LeBron/Kobe dual Vs a Lebron/Kobe/Scottie Pippen auto.

This set seems to have been a hit though, wait until it’s back to sets where you make 25% back and don’t profit though lol

Who's Mercedev?!

But yeah, I agree that a Alcaraz/Novak dual auto would be significantly better than a Alcaraz/Novak/Medvedev triple auto.

Lol I think it tried to correct to Mercedes but somehow kept the V

Yeah though I get he values closest comp he can find but saying he made $6K off the box basically was kinda wild. No hate to Meddy but this isn’t like the Iga/Novak/Saba/Carlos duals or even if it had like Sinner would be more way more but Med prob lowers value a good bit.

Did the people that pulled the Carlos knob auto ever post a pic of it?

Haha, autocorrect doing its own thing.

Agreed too, which ain't bad for a collector but certainly not an ideal card for a flipper/investor.

Cool card and inscription, ya? That racket was supposedly used during the 2024 Indian Wells tournament (which he won, so even cooler, assuming true).

[ThatGuyPal]

Do Novak etc have one of those or nah?

Very cool card. Topps has a memorabilia gold mine on it's hand with butt caps, strings, and grips. The latter two being things that are very intimately tied to players and they go through a thousand of in a year. Those are much more important in a tennis-specific way than butt caps.

I know Topps is calling them "knobs", but that isn't a term any tennis player has ever used in place of butt cap.

Got the Carlos Star relic /25. First relic in a while that I've gotten that shows the actual event - this one was from the 2024 Australian Open.

Looks like not all of them have an event unless it's just /25 and under. My Mirra /75 just says event used.

He does not according to the checklist. Novak only has autos and only in the sets that are limited to 25. I'm trying to wait it out to see if I can pick up an acetate auto at a reasonable price.

That acetate auto auction's going pretty high

Not sure what’s next, but Fonseca rookies would be a fun chase.

Novak 1/1 Coronation auto posted on ebay. Guess Novak The Time is Now 1/1 is the only one left to chase.
