Are we forgetting about Nico? Or does he just get no hobby love right now?

Not being forgotten about. Just doesn't have the sizzle that the top few guys have. And therein lies the potential strength of this product IMO. Not necessarily that Alvarez and Lux and Bichette are headlining, rather that there are very worthwhile names further down the list. Potentially very deep with impact players.

GUYS - I just bought a case in the million card break. I have never bought a case to myself, break or not.

INNNNNNN.

This would be similar to 2018 when you had Hoskins, Devers and Hays as headliners but then had a very deep group of other quality RC behind them.

Yeah I think unfortunately for all of the other products Series 1 and Heritage are going to dominate. The next most interesting release doesn't hit until Bowman in April so they will have a great stage to work with.

Haven't read the previous 400+ posts, but this design is hideous. Looks like a cheap Flagship insert.

Stadium Club has full bleed photography cards. Bring back borders in Flagship.

Every single iconic RC in Topps has borders. Why mess with perfection?

ETA: I stopped buying master sets in 2017 because of the borderless design, and bought TSC. This will be the first year I won't even buy a hobby box, let alone a case.

Hobby cases are now at $750. Out of stock on Jumbos, but the boxes are available for $125, so $750/case for those as well.

A lot of people were waiting for this announcement. Thanks for confirming.

I had bought my first case of Hobby ever and planning on to break and flip. I see a lot of pre-sales for team lots and base sets. Any experienced breakers/flippers have any tips they would like to share? I planned on flipping this the same way I do retail. Make team lots and auction them off. Grade the color and "hot" rookies and flip those with but it now/best offers. Anything special i should note with a hobby case?

[The Chad]

I was going to try something different with my 2 cases and possibly not sell any "sets". I am planning on hopefully grading a bunch of rookies and then listing a lot of the inserts/base on sportlots. going to see how that looks salewise. listing numbered/relics and such on ebay.

and fleabay has them for a LOT less

[Cardsfan84]

The current prices on BO don't seem sustainable. They are capitalizing on the hype and seemingly getting a few extra bucks from those suffering FOMO. This thread is already full of people talking about rip & flip, rip & grade, and rip, flip & grade for the first time. I wish everyone luck as I'm going to be doing the same. It will be exhausting for the first several days. I have no idea how someone like Brent used to rip 100 cases.

When do checklists typically come out? I know... tough question. I'm guessing it varies.

Yordan Alvarez
Bo Bichette
Gavin Lux
Aristides Aquino
Jesus Luzardo
Brendan McKay
Nico Hoerner
Kyle Lewis
Dustin May
Zach Gallen
Adbert Alzolay
AJ Puk
Brusdar Graterol
Zack Collins
Jordan Yamomoto

Is this close? Anyone I might be missing?

I think everyone on this list except for Graterol is included

[KhalDrogo]

It’s a monster RC checklist. Very pleased with that.

[mutigers77]

This is an A+ RC checklist. I'm stoked.

[BigSlim16]

The decades best, decades next, and Topps choice auto checklists are all pretty awesome

[yoadrian49]

The checklist shows a "retail tin Exclusive" that could be interesting

[speedyjg13]

Same old song with the Angels auto cards: Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. Patrick Sandoval RC and a Matt Thaiss RC parallel auto card. Hard pass.

[Stech36]

Nice, pretty much nothing held back for series 2. Don't know what Topps is thinking with that, but still! I have a Hobby and Jumbo Case locked in, so can't wait for Tuesday/Wednesday next week.
