Anybody watch that Alcaraz Sinner match yesterday? Would be nice if I could pick up some Sinner cards, but you know... there aren't any.

So are we expecting only sapphire for the product? The previous photo we saw of a player signing a Chrome card doesn’t seem like sapphire though.
Probability of getting a checklist prior to release? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Im really getting sick of waiting, especially because I have a feeling this product will be a complete let down

I'm still confused.
Are they really gonna release 2021 Topps Chrome Tennis in 2023? The Sapphire Checklist says 2021 - Pack Odds For: 2021 Tennis Chrome Sapphire If it is 2021 and Carlos Alcaraz is on the Checklist.... I'm guessing it will be considered his RC. |

If that's the case. How is that even legal? lol Might as well release a 2002 topps chrome Federer rookie while they're at it.

Thinking out loud here. I wonder if Fanatics has scrapped this, or at least the version as we currently know it to be. If they were to apply some objective analysis to it, I can't believe it would meet any financial targets, or be profitable at all even. Thinking they could have caught on that demand is going to be insanely low if players like Isner and Cilic are who they were planning on carrying the product. Could just be a waiting game now, as the PTPA membership goes, so will Fanatics tennis products. They got the license for what was probably dirt cheap, now they can just wait until at least a handful of attractive players are available to put in a product.

huge tennis fan looking forward to anything Tennis card wise, just from the lack of any promotional material makes me worried it's going to be super underwhelming

Why does every product have to be paralleled to death?

Lots of parallels, and autos not one per box is a bad sign. I think the print run is going to be way too high. Plus there are both hobby boxes and hobby lite boxes. They better be cheap, or they better surprise us with some nice legends autos.

If people ever decide parallels are yesterday’s news then Topps is screwed.

Why does Topps hate its customers. No other company could release a product in the middle of 2023 that was supposed to be released in 2021, then they don't deliver on the checklist, then they overprint and included way too many parallels, and then they charge a high price. Crazy business model
