May be a sign that money is starting to get tight for many people.

I think it's just the product itself - it's a love the design or hate the design probably not much in between. IMO it's ugly as sin.

It’s hideous.

Topps couldn’t do high end forever. Now they can’t even do mid (that they sell as high).

Wonder if this is a typo and they meant march 26th or if they are pushing it up to stop people from cancelling pre orders

yeah seems conflicting... "thank you for your patience and support" but they are saying they are going to release it earlier in the message.

Blowout has a release date of Feb 26th and the Topps product page also has the 26th on their site.

Quick napkin math time:

Common Superfractor odds/checklist maths out to 58,566 Hobby boxes.
Arrivals Insert Superfractor odds/checklist maths out to 62475 boxes.

Safe to say there's around 60,000 hobby boxes made.
For Breakers Delight, around 22,000

In the "Autograph Cards" checklist, there isn't a single player I would be happy owning or pulling from an overpriced lotto pack. That may be the saddest autograph checklist I have ever seen published in any major licensed product from any sport across the history of cards.

Basketball is the top-heaviest amongst all the sports by far - that’s what contributes to the lottery atmosphere of basketball breaks.

those base cards are hideous. Wtf were they thinking?

Oooh….you’re onto something.

Topps: no take backs!

If they bring back embossed refractors in the future, that will buy some goodwill from me. But so far this is an easy pass. I'll check out the Matas cards but that's it.
