I assume these are slightly overpriced because they know people are gonna dump their rewards points into them...
My calculation is 7,500 total packs. Autos are "on card" and Ohtani is in it. So it'll have demand.

Even with a $40 off coupon, it was an easy pass.
Ohtani autos will likely be limited and I can't imagine more demand for a second-year Dodgers auto than a first-year one.
Not to mention, I'd like to assume there's other products (or soon-to-be) that offer (or will offer) a shot at Ohtani autos for less, along with a higher floor.

Way overpriced IMHO, if they were $100ish it might be worth it but they are not team specific and you get 8 random rtod cards which just seems odd

Agreed, I did use some $40 off codes on some Dodgers team sets though. Makes them roughly $8 for me. Cheap shot at a decent parallel and the Dodgers bonus cards were good last year.

Quick question. You can only use 1 code per order correct? If using multiple, you have to do multiple orders?

Yes. I bought 2 and just placed two separate orders.

Problem is, there is absolutely nothing else i'd want to use my points for. Got 3 packs each w/ a $40 discount.

Even with this mediocre rookie class, you have to admit this is a pretty good checklist of autos however — Ohtani, Judge, Harper, Yamamoto, Elly, Skenes, Acuna, Gunnar, Witt, Crews, Wood, Trout, Chourio, Langford

Couldn't pull the trigger on the auto pack at the price even with a coupon. Did grab 1 team set but not the Dodgers

Grabbed 5 teams sets for $8.50 each. I'll settle for that.

Might be crazy but bought 6 auto packs and soon thereafter they were Sold Out. There’s a decent auto list and I’m intrigued by the gold foil cards /25 in each pack. Also, Sasaki RC is in the team sets and gold foils so there’s that longshot hope.
We shall see,

Tried to use my 258000 rewards points to buy 64 dodgers sets. System cancelled almost all of my orders (except 10). I also lost the rewards points on the orders that were cancelled. I am sure I can call Topps and get the rewards points added back. But I have no idea what I am going to use them on. Was really hyped to unload those points one by one on Dodgers Team Sets.

Think there is a 10 order limit - how long it takes to reset I'm not sure. 24 hours?

Well, you could sell $40 off coupons for $20 per (54 x $20 => $1080).
If your issue gets resolved soon, I can order 10 sets for you as long as you cover the $3 per shipping costs.

You were likely flagged by Riskified for order velocity (placing all of those orders quickly in a row). You can call Topps and they will add the points back (if the agent says they can't, they're lying). Hang up and try a different agent.
It's a soft ban, try again tomorrow and spread them out.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI see 43 autos and at least 15 are decent to me. There are also parallels with the base only at /99. If I get 6 duds, I can get something back.

Yeah random cards from the rest of the series is weird, like I'd almost rather just a 2 card pack lol, do they really think those cards are increasing the value here.

Exactly—that’s typically the case for this product but I give Topps credit for not watering it down too much especially given the limited market for Topps Now.
I got 5 auto packs myself, decent shot at Ohtani/Judge/Harper/Elly.

Auto packs sold out now so maybe a moot point but the vast majority of those autos will be available for less than the price of a pack (even after the $40 coupon) a week or two after release. I get it though, gamblers gonna gamble. The inclusion of the gold foil parallel /25 does soften the blow a bit, I guess.
rutgersjpm
03-17-2025, 04:21 PM
211 parallel subjects x #/25 = 5, 275 packs
43 auto subjects x 189 (99+49+25+10+5+1) = 8, 127 packs
Looks like some of the auto subjects won't have all of the parallels or they eliminated a parallel.

As always, there'll be less of the good autos and more of the bad ones.

Sweet! So if I don’t get a Judge, Harper, Elly, Sho, Ronald or Mike I’ll be able to pick one up for less than 140 - this is awesome!!

They also changed the language on no hitter/perfect game to be individual pitcher now, so no more cards for a combined no hitter

I forget if I can swear here without getting in trouble but these picks r effing stupid and a slap in the face of real collectors, which I’m pretty sure I’ve said from when they started offering them. Go back to sets with and without autos for all teams, I’m not paying to get an auto just because I want to unload it for more, I want autos from my team only. They just keep screwing the actual collectors. Also not a single Mets auto, how effing ridiculous. At least include one from every team…I’m sure everyone is scrambling for a Steven Kwan auto…End rant for this season lol.

No one cares. Toppsfanatics is happy and makes money. Breakers are happy because in sufficient quantities this is a mega breakers product.
Buy what you like when they flood eBay, for a heck of a lot less than it costs on a per pack basis.

Mets: Acuna 1/5
Reds: Lowder 1/4
Orioles: Mayo 1/5
Cubs: Alcantara 1/5
Tigers: Jobe & Jung 2/3
Angels: Dana 1/2
A's: Wilson 1/2

Nahhh, they’re overpriced because it’s 2025, and it’s Fanatics. They’ll keep raising prices to see how high they can go before people stop buying. They haven’t reached that point yet, so we have a ways to go.

They send you they bonus card automatically, no additional charge. I think the Dodgers had four last year due to 3 homerun games

One of the Whitcomb was orange and the Wells was gold, but probably five of the worst subjects on the checklist 😮#@💨 Was really hoping for one I could keep for my PC.
