2022 Topps MLB Baseball Japan Edition

cj828282 · 12-09-2022, 09:25 AM

Add another product to the list. This was a fun break last year and boxes contained lots of parallels. Checklist is below and contains Julio and Witt and all the other major rookies. Last year boxes were available from Amazon Japan with very quick delivery to the US. Hope the same happens this year.

I like these better than the UK edition.

al3xmac10 · 12-09-2022, 10:15 AM

Wow, that's a lot of Ohtani autos on the checklist!

I assume these are sticker autos?

hammertime · 12-09-2022, 10:31 AM

Grabbed a few boxes. This set is great and the exchange rate is pretty favorable ATM.

bryanscs · 12-09-2022, 10:35 AM

Do you have to create another account to be able to buy these?

The Accountant · 12-09-2022, 10:35 AM

Roughly 12k boxes, 1000 cases

Yes, a Japan account.

Before shipping, boxes are around $125.

hammertime · 12-09-2022, 10:44 AM

I bought 3 and it was about $397 with shipping.

THE(NEXT)LEVEL · 12-09-2022, 10:45 AM

135/box pretty steep

Is it though?

I mean an Update hobby box sells for $100 all day.

This has the top update rookies, plus the Japan variations, smaller checklist of key names and the Ohtani hunt for $35 more.

Seems pretty good to me, especially with a much smaller print run.

cj828282 · 12-09-2022, 10:49 AM

Looks like these are shipping to the US from Topps Japan.

Yes, these were cheaper last year. But Topps is taking advantage of this rookie class.

Ohtani also has a lot of autos

Yeah, but those MPV autos could each be 1/1 without parallels. But still, I think I would rather pick a box of this up than TCU.

bmann33 · 12-09-2022, 11:15 AM

Appreciate the link - $275 shipped to MN for two.

ChefCurry312 · 12-09-2022, 11:17 AM

Thank you for posting. I decided to buy a box to rip. Total came out to $152 after shipping to the US.

SupermanBrandon · 12-09-2022, 11:26 AM

Looking forward to hunting the Acuna Gold that will never pop up due to rip rate, odds and the 3 people that do hit one, that wont sell it

mredsox89 · 12-09-2022, 11:30 AM

I really enjoyed opening this last year, got a full 12 box case. But it was basically $1000 plus shipping. Don't think I can justify likely another 500-700 for a case this year after looking at my singles sales from last year. Basically broke even, and if a case was $1000 again, I'd be all over it

bub838 · 12-09-2022, 11:30 AM

Odds look the same as last year. Picked up a couple boxes. 2021 was a really fun rip, I picked up boxes around $50.

BabaORiley · 12-09-2022, 11:45 AM

Loved this rip last year. Pulled an Ohtani jade green. Was hoping for the cherry blossom but the jade green was my second wish. Fun rip for sure.

BabaORiley · 12-09-2022, 11:50 AM

I'm thankful Topps Japan won't ship Topps NPB or Bowman NPB overseas. Probably saved me a grand. I was a sucker for 2021 Topps NPB and Chrome NPB. Been unloading my Yoshidas this week. Still have some nice Roki's and a few Seiya's to unload this ST.

And Bowman NPB??? I'd have been all over a product that's likely a bloodbath.

Is it max 6? Not having fun trying to navigate this site

Yeah, max of 6 boxes.

STLtoMN · 12-09-2022, 02:26 PM

in for 6... these are always fun
