2022 Topps Chrome Update Sapphire--Could Be the Product of the Year? Pump it Up!
 

Looks like 2022 TCU Sapphire releases on January 11. The checklist is below. Short auto checklist but could mean the autos will be difficult hits. Looking forward to seeing everyone's box breaks:

Product of the Year 2022!

POTY!

Love 2022 products releasing in 2023

I hate redemptions but it would deter hoarding. The box sitting is getting ridiculous.

330 cards on the checklist, 2 of them are JRod. 32 cards in a box.

Good luck you riverboat gamblers!

If autos are 1 per box, maybe it's worthwhile given the small auto checklist. If they aren't guaranteed 1 per box...... woof.

Im not sure its "box sitting". Its "people aren't buying it at all".

Also, remember that the past two years, Target has had these on sale online (and a few in store). So watch the Target's website for release on Wednesday morning. At least there is a 5% discount with the red card.

I think people with lots of free cash/credit still bought TCS, though fewer and solely for wax reselling.

With all the changes made under Fanatics I wouldn't bet on anything.

I don't see how on earth there's an auto per box with that checklist.

This is a Target Exclusive or will Topps be putting these up on their site? And what's the price point? 32 cards per box? Seems like a small amount of cards for a 330 card checklist. Hopefully 29.95 a box? Doubtful.

Will be on Topps site for sure. Not sure about Target though for reasons noted above. But it will not be $29.95. Last year the price was $150 but I am going t say it will be more than that this year if autos are 1 per box.

It's sapphire so even if watered down and no auto per box expect a min $200 price tag based on other recent sapphire products.

Hi

I know 2022 Topps Chrome Update Sapphire Baseball wont be out until January..


Currently Wander Franco Rookie cards will be in this product and we could possibly see BOBBY WITT JR / JULIO RODRIGUEZ / RILEY GREENE / ADLEY RUTSCHMAN and a few others if they get called up soon.
at $250 / box doesnt it sound to good to be true?

Francos Base Rookie will probably sell for $50-$75 while Witt-Jrod could be in the $25-50 range.

By this time PSA should have a $35-50 grading level


Any thoughts on the potential of this product as well as the current price?

I think it could be one of the hottest products if not the hottest of these past years.

DAMN!! At $200 a piece for 32 cards and a 330 card set?!? Gonna be crazy expensive to complete a set or get lucky to find the top rookies.

Yeah, that's the sapphire way. I have not been able to complete a set since 2018.

There is so much sarcasm around here that I am finding it hard to separate legitimate takes from sarcastic/tongue-in-cheek takes.

God help the newly returned collector.

While I fully expect these to be over $200, has Target ever sold a trading card product that expensive?

This is the way.

Only the stoo-pid would buy a product like this.

And the even dumberer would actually break it.

I’m just glad I know about a sapphire release ahead of time, thanks BO!

Question on my mind: will it matter? Or will I still not be able to buy any due to bots??? :(

Yes, this is unusual of Topps/Fanatics.

All depends on the price.

I don’t think it’s guaranteed that Target has it this year. Yes I know they historically have.
