2024-25 SP Authentic

ThatGuyPal · 08-12-2025, 07:54 AM

Drops this week.

Despite no Bedard surprised there isn’t really discussion on this. One of the more anticipated releases where you don’t have to sell a first born to buy a box (except for last year)

Can use this for thoughts/eventual post box discussion.

I plan to get a box as it’s insanely more affordable than last year. Crossing my fingers for an FWA of Michkov, Hudson or Celebrini

chris_ac · 08-12-2025, 08:48 AM

I seriously considered my 4 loose box rule for SPA but not the right time.

More importantly, I counted serious Kopi sig options this product including updates. Hope to see some.

FatButcher · 08-12-2025, 09:27 AM

Looking forward to it, and looking forward to the retro FW going away. Should get a proper FWA in every box.

anusinha · 08-12-2025, 11:39 AM

Quite possibly the best release for the price in any sport this year, looking forward to it.

I didn’t even know that, good info.

I don’t hate them but realize the hobby collectively (and guys like Zeeree) despise the retros lol

Zeeree's hatred of Retro FWA knows no bounds!

Retro FWA’s have been the downfall of this product. Hoping this means a true FWA per box minimum.

No retros on the checklist and each box promises 1 future watch and 1 additional auto.

anusinha · 08-12-2025, 07:56 PM

They replaced the retro FWAs with horizontal FWAs

kellmuff · 08-13-2025, 08:32 AM

So dumb that they ever took proper FWA's away from 1 guaranteed per box

FatButcher · 08-13-2025, 09:43 AM

Gotta pad out for the print runs sadly.

Ehawk89 · 08-13-2025, 11:29 AM

Got a Samuel Helenius Inscribed FWA and Jared McCann auto in the one box I pre-ordered.

cbeauch87 · 08-13-2025, 12:27 PM

For those opening this stuff, any Owen Pickering cards, I'm a buyer!!

ThatGuyPal · 08-13-2025, 05:41 PM

I got trolled hard and thought I got jipped autos until the last two packs. Saw green so did a slow reveal which I usually don’t even do, went from bottom saw Sharks was like please Celebrini, please Celebrini but even Will Smith would be good……Ethan who the f is that guy Cardwell instead /199 lol as someone who doesn’t open a lot of SP I feel I did great odds wise terrible name wise, got a Gold? Limited Future Watch of Zach I’m Not James Dean as well /99. Also got an extra bounty Level 1 Future Watch….Jackson Blake. Last two packs had the autos, horizontal Future Watch /599 of Akil Thomas and last pack Gold? Future Watch RPA three colors /100 Rutger Mcgroarty. The RPA is sick even if I don’t know anything about the guy so I’m not dissapointed but man that Sharks troll lol

Also FYI while I didn’t notice I also don’t open SP but there were no filler cards and the RPA was obviously way thicker so I dunno about loose packs if hoping to hit one

anusinha · 08-13-2025, 05:43 PM

Will Smith is a redemption, booo.... Any other significant names?

Not sure but I’ve seen Celebrini, Michkov and Hutson autos on Reddit so they aren’t out of the big names I personally know

ZappBrannigan · 08-13-2025, 07:09 PM

25$ a pack seems high.

I've been watching quite a bit of this, only other redemption I've seen is Huberdeau for some odd reason. Everyone else of any note at all is live.

$25 does seem high since even the big 3 are at $16/pack ($160/box, 10 packs /box), and it can be found for less.

Wax being overpriced isn't exactly breaking news, but you're a little off on how overpriced this one is.

mwash1983 · 08-13-2025, 08:15 PM

Opened two boxes and got a Lane Hutson, Calum Richie,
.

KayneofThrones · 08-14-2025, 10:50 AM

Opened a single box and landed this bad boy.

Video of it being pulled can be watched if you like that sort of thing.

LOL, my shipment got delayed, 1 full and 1 inner should be hitting my doorstep tomorrow!

GP did a player random 50-boxer on whatnot yesterday - was absolutely terrible. Check-in periodically to see the hits show and I think the best was a Ovi auto.
