2024 Topps Series 1 Details

[boxbuster7]

Massive in photo size or value?

[Funkster]

Finally bought a few loose retail packs..I think the design looks great in hand. The foil in the team names really pop especially the gold. Pulled a Yount 89 red /10 so definitely not bad for a handful of packs.

It’s a new release, you’ll get highest value if you sell the redemption now. You can then take the money and buy a previous years flagship red auto and have some money left over.

That's solid logic but if I was a kid I'd want the card I pulled.

If I pulled a red ohtani auto, I wouldn't touch the product again.

Food for thought, PSA currently values Julio Rodriguez 2022 update US144 base psa 10 @ $19

Think twice before submitting all those base base Elly’s

Perhaps I got lucky, my recent 2023 Topps Sapphire update auto redemption took 8 weeks? to get fulfilled.

Also a good point. Would be great for the kiddos PC!

That’s great! A red I’m assuming /5, congratulations to you & your son. Please post a pic if you decide to redeem and eventually gets fulfilled.

Anyone know what the heavy lumber feel like?

[collect123baseb]

Did anyone else notice that Topps/Fanatics seemed to have cheaped out on the refractors in the 2024 Series 1 Silver Packs. The serial numbered cards were on regular chrome card stock and not the thicker refractors we're used to (and can warp). Anyone have any thoughts/information on this?

Yeah and I think it will be really tough to get a 10 with the black
So if there is one that looks absolutely perfect there might be a lower gem rate but I don’t think it’s worth the cost to try

Where do you find that? I checked a cert of one and didn't see a price estimate given and I don't see any SMR link for the set, from the pop report. Last auction I found sold at $45, but they've definitely been close to $30 or maybe even less.

US44 PSA-10 was in the $60-70 range at auction in late 2022, so the early sales. What that card sells for today has little bearing on what a freshly graded, low pop Elly PSA-10 might sell for in 2-3 weeks when they start coming back.

US44 pop is 5,422 today (59.8% gem rate). Elly is ... pop zero? And gem rate should be lower due to the border color.

Could snap off a spill and light a cigar with them.
