Yes!!!

What are the odds Topps ACTUALLY uses the same foil treatments as Black Gold though.

as well as a nod to 1993 Topps Black Gold which Topps calls "the first modern-day insert set." The Black Gold cards will have Blue, Black (/299), Platinum (/70), Red (/10) and 1/1 Gold versions as well as autographs (/10 max).

I wonder what the parallels will look like? I love Update so I'm in for a case. Does anyone know when the pre-order comes up?

I still have a redemption for black gold set should I send it in?

OneBuck · 05-11-2021, 01:09 PM

Any consensus on what's typically better - 2 hobby boxes or 1 jumbo?

The redemption cards themselves are actually worth money.

Go check out what an ABCD winner goes for!

I really hope they do the black golds right. Favorite cards from the 90s.

Same. I'm afraid Topps will Topps it, though. An actual decent idea coming out of Topps for a flagship release. Hope they don't screw it up.

Odds on pre-orders showing up for $2k+?

preorders are live now.

84.95 for a hobby box / 799.95 for a casae
134.95 jumbo / 999.95 per case

considering the going rates for everything else that seemed surprisingly reasonable to me.

I Wander if it is bc someone isn't on the checklist

JRX · 05-11-2021, 01:49 PM

And we have no idea what the checklist will be or what rookies could be in it?

If you're a set builder like me, go with the jumbo.

Better question: anyone on the boards still waiting for their 1993/1994 Black Gold redemptions?

Wow im surprised they aren't charging over 100 for hobby immediately.

Case prices are actually switched around, but I agree these seem reasonable.

yoadrian49 · 05-11-2021, 01:56 PM

So something interesting that is not on the sell sheets for either jumbo or hobby....and I certainly do not want to go down the 2018 Update Black Friday debacle. No mention of silver packs. Could just be a simple omission.

Hollywood42 · 05-11-2021, 02:01 PM

The black golds look awesome. I could do without the 12 parallels, but it was a given. If nothing else it will be comedic to have to call them black gold, black gold blue, black gold black, etc

henwo · 05-11-2021, 02:03 PM

Black Gold!

reddragonthe · 05-11-2021, 02:08 PM

It seems cheap but the addition of the parallels point to a SIGNIFICANT print run increase. It wasn't like it was hard to find before. 2020 gives us all a really warped sense of reality.

So now you add to that a 50-100% increase in the PR and here we are.

Lots of rookie SPs I think probably what will try to carry it along with the usual set building.
