$289.99 seems steep.

Yet no checklist or odds...even on Topps website....

Of course, the breakers will be all over this and it will sell out in less than an hour

I mean, what’s it worth or what’s Topps going to charge. It’s worth maybe $200. What are they going to charge? 349 I bet.

They're like streaming networks, they need a constant stream of new content. Doesn't matter if its trash, they need something new.

I’m shocked they didn’t raise it higher than that. I wonder if they found the price ceiling recently. I’m seeing some breakers struggle to sell stuff other than on fanatics live. Has this always been released so close to chrome?

The design looks ok, but not as nice as last year. Seems closer to the 80s trapper keeper look, like 2023 finest.

Boxes were available for about an hour… not an instant sell out at least.

Don’t let FOMO take hold. It will be available on release day. The purpose of this is just to give FOMO and to get people to buy breaks on fanatics live. Single base James Wood auto will be cheaper than a box. Your odds of buying on eBay, 100%. Odds of finding one in a box: probably 1:60 or so.

I have a theory that the first boxes sent out hold a greater probability of a better “hit”.

best thing I did was unsubscribe from topps emails. all I wanted to do was stop the RIPPED emails, but it stopped everything, and I've never been better

Exactly. And for anyone that doesn’t believe this, just take a quick look at last years top players from Finest’s most recent sales. Not counting Skenes, as the mystery redemptions are produced at lesser quantities, Elly is the only player that can’t seem to be had for under the price of a box. A PSA 9 gold finest Chourio Auto sold a month ago for $40 less than the price of a box this year.

Like most current products, this will be a cash-cow for the larger breakers but a slaughter for anyone opening for themselves. Yet, we know this and it still sells out in an hour.
