I think this will be kinda set apart from the glut since it’s a brand new Topps thing. Chrome has its own followers like people who were into Disney Chrome.
UD marvel cards are currently in glut overdrive: FU Wolvie, Platinum, Metal, Flair on epack. I do wonder if people are PMG’d out at this point. This is sufficiently different and marvel card hobby needs this infusion of something fresh imo.
The more I think about it, I don’t think the license staying with UD for several more years would bode that well…it’d be the same PMGs, Jamba’s, mirages, canvas gallery etc ad infinitum. The hobby has been in a bit of a lull recently this summer imo. You’d think with all these sets, many with original art, it would be thriving, but it’s all running together to me, too much out there. Besides arguably platinum, just don’t have much desire to buy into another fleer ultra or beginnings set. Maybe I’m different, idk.
This marvel chrome set will do super well.
