I’d buy 4 boxes of this but it’s EQL, so I expect to get nothing.

Might be misinfo. A "bigger" wrestling card account on X said it was an EQL.

On today's busted open xm radio show, Bubba Dudley hinted that he is signing wwe autographs cards and he takes pride in his signature and he despises bad signatures and how he doesnt like other wrestlers bad signatures. I wonder if he will be in this new set.

Looks like a slightly improved and way more expensive Panini Revolution WWE

Cards look fantastic. Scared how much it costs. More than likely just singles for me again!

I'll happily stand in the minority here, but these cards couldn't look any uglier. Like a first draft, AI-generated "outer space" aesthetic, actually worse than Revolution which was never my favorite.

Good luck to those pursuing.

300 card base set. Get ready for some really obscure names.

Maybe the Brooklyn Brawler will get a card.
He hasn't had one since 1990 Classic.

Thought I was the only one, I haven't loved a Topps set yet. Too many studio shots and ugly designs.

I like the design of these but I'm terrified to find out how much it's going to cost for a box.

Did the date get moved? The page now says "Pre-order available soon"

I don’t know of or have seen official Dudley Boyz dual autos pop up (I’m sure there are). With him and D-Von both connected to WWE a dual Dudley’s auto would be a cool addition. May not even be worth a ton but anyone who remembers TLC will value it.

Yeah I got DVON Dudley auto from Chrome 2025. Its a red 5/5 parallel. So I was bummed I couldn't get Bubba's auto in the same set. I'd take Bubba's single auto in any new set he is in but if there's a double signature tag team auto that would be cool too!

I'm actually excited over a larger set - one of my biggest issues with the pre-Panini releases by Topps were that it was the same 40 names over and over in every release. Same autos, same relics. Panini did a great job bringing back expanded rosters and retired wrestlers.

If Topps could just get some better photos, some action shots and make the photo the focus on the card over the background/borders, and get more boxes in the hands of the public at affordable prices, and on time, and less redemptions, we might eventually be on to something here.

You're not alone.

How is it acceptable to say this product comes out 11/22 at 12pm est. Then, day of, say, “Nah, never mind.” and then give zero information on the drop over the next two weeks. Utterly laughable.

It's acceptable because the Monopoly says it is

Just received an email newsletter stating "Pre-order set for December 22nd at 11am ET".

Take with a grain of salt...but never know.

Looks like the date is placed on the page as well [URL="https://www.topps.com/pages/topps-universe-wwe"]https://www.topps.com/pages/topps-universe-wwe[/URL] , no mention of EQL yet.

It does look like the 22nd will actually be the real date

Do we have any predictions on price?

[QUOTE=Bob Ross;20116036]It does look like the 22nd will actually be the real date[/QUOTE]

Works out better for me, if I want to pick some up. I won't be at work.

[QUOTE=kakarot12;20116590]Do we have any predictions on price?[/QUOTE]

Hopefully not a lot because I'd like to pick up 2 to 4 boxes.

[QUOTE=kakarot12;20116590]Do we have any predictions on price?[/QUOTE]

Depends how far you can bend over.

Wonder if this will be delayed due to the John Cena set coming out, would be surprised if they do releases on back to back days.

Who knows if this is from this set but it was just posted online

^^^ Has to be one of the last on card autos for Hogan no matter what set it falls in...

Amazing Dual there!

175 Euro on France, Italy, etc.
150 Pound on UK
Jan 30 release date, 39 day free loan but probably later as they never stick by their dates

And none selling out, still available 40 minutes later.

And here’s the box design. Definitely very “Revolution” looking.

I actually liked Revolution, and would be in for a couple.

Pretty sure this is WWE Royalty. UFC version drops today

edit: actually never mind, i truly don’t know what this is.

Probably took a while to get Hogan to sign from 6 feet deep. Nice looking auto in that case.

Over/under $249.99 a box on this stuff?

[QUOTE=JustinVerlander07;20120004]Over/under $249.99 a box on this stuff?[/QUOTE]



150GBP is almost exactly $200 so probably $199.99

It’s probably the next Chrome. Been awhile now since that release prob gearing up for the next one. Glory hog Lévesque just has to make everything about him as usual so it got posted. No one wants HHH solo autos so gotta promote a dual like this, I mean maybe they aren’t in there but if there’s a Rock/Hogan or even Austin/Hogan that should of been posted. I’m prob the outlier but I’d rather have Taker/Hogan at least they feuded back in the day and when he returned.

[QUOTE=ThatGuyPal;20120020]No one wants HHH solo autos[/QUOTE]

Sell them all to me at those cheap prices if nobody wants them.

$169.99 cases gone almost instantly so somebody likes it

[QUOTE=phil;20120058]$169.99 cases gone almost instantly so somebody likes it[/QUOTE]

They were gone as soon as I could view prices. Got 10 boxes.

[QUOTE=JustinVerlander07;20120061]They were gone as soon as I could view prices. Got 10 boxes.[/QUOTE]



they may have only loaded a few cases and 5 figures of loose boxes who knows

I didn't have my payment info pre loaded, so I ended up with zero. Sold out in less than 2 minutes.

This was fun. Refreshed right at 11:00am EST, added to cart, checked out and oops, they're all gone.

Cases reloaded for a second, boxes are showing out as well now. Great price for 2 Autos and a relic.

I actually attempted to buy two boxes as I like the price point but at the last step is sold out as I hit the Pay button. Ah well, I'll live. It was kinda my fault as I just moved and hadn't updated my address/billing address yet, which delayed the process by a minute.

Honestly, this was a wonderful reminder of why I stopped wasting time trying to buy boxes of anything.

Haha I had no chance. I loaded items to cart, went to checkout, hit pay now and the page refreshed and order didnt go through. Guess im saving money here, not gonna fight for it.

Boxes back in stock

[QUOTE=JustinVerlander07;20120072]Boxes back in stock[/QUOTE]

I'm in line to check out, I'm sure this will work

They keep going in and out of stock, and if you're lucky enough to get any in your cart, by the time the page loads, they're gone again.

What a great way to sell product.

The process wouldn't be as bad if their shop software wasn't so poor. I mean if I try to buy something, it sells out before I check out, that's life. But with Topps it will re-appear as available for up to 30 minutes. Sometimes you get in line, sometimes you get in checkout, then you go to check out and it'll say unavailable, or cart is empty, etc. Then five minutes later it will show as available, same process.

I know some boxes will appear back in stock maybe due to failed payment etc. but it just feels like a broken checkout system which can add to the frustration.

Concur about the software. Inconsistent results while it pops in and out of stock.

Honestly, how hard would it be to just let people lock in orders in their cart? Once the items are in the cart, give people 5 minutes to fill in their info and if they don't do it in time, put the items back as available?

This whole thing of waiting "in line" then putting in your info, selecting to pay, and then having the "it's sold out" sign pop up is eternally frustrating.

I don't know of a single company that hates its consumers more than card manufacturers.

I agree, the reserve in cart would be nice. I had it in my cart so many times and it got removed everytime I tried to process payment.

That's not how Shopify works. That would be an entirely different website design.

When WWE Topps Chrome hobby released all you had to do was refresh the boxes page, click add to cart on cases, then the 2nd case click a different button they no longer have that automatically took you to the checkout page, then hit place order. It literally took less than 10 seconds and cases were there for like a minute. There were no errors, no we don't accept credit cards, we don't ship to your address, no cart jacking, no saying out of stock when it wasn't sold out, no going in and out for 20-45 minutes. But it would just be too damn hard to have all the product there for a minute or so and as many manual users checkout as possible.

It was that simple process for the first handful of releases when they switched to Shopify then it became miserable as some point soon after.

Take it with a grain of salt, but one of the hosts of the Hobby Nonsense podcast (spinoff of Sports Card Nonsense) today said he inquired about his cases of Universe and his rep said there was a "major delay" for this product. No date was given. There goes my idea of ripping something new during the Rumble.

I thought the latest on it was Jan 30th. I have a couple blasters in my cart waiting to ship

New date: 2/27/26. (Topps needs more data to see how much they can jack up the price/get the boxes to the breakers).
