Sucks that there's multiple variations for select rookies (especially the most desired ones) but I'm not surprised as it's a Panini product. I'm just happy that they didn't have multiple variations of the Veterans.

No problem. Agree about the rookie variations. Almost bought a purple titan FOTL Luka yesterday but would like a gold instead if I can get for a decent price. Do you know the odds on the silver Titans? Didn’t see them on the CBC list but do see them on eBay.

they are still somewhat short print. the checklist is large for this insert, 100 players. They fall one per box. That means 1 lamlelo per 8.3 cases if they all have the same print run.

I have seen 4 Curry's already sell and a bunch are up for auction.

I was considering going for a KD and Curry.

There's already 28 of them listed. I think that answers your question.

I'm in the same boat as you. I want to add the Curry but wasn't sure about the print-run so didn't pull the trigger yet. There's a good number of them available on eBay and I expect more to become available. I'll wait a little longer before adding one.

I picked up a Curry purple scope /38 because I liked the look of the card. I might also go for the gold scope depending on what it looks like and price.

No clue on odds for the silver Titans.

Kaboom, Mosaic Genesis, Marvels... I'd say they've done a pretty good job making cards not very rare but desirable, though.

Interestingly enough, in football they've released a few extremely rare inserts with no parallels, that are designed beautifully. Only issue is they have not taken off because nobody has them. Since nobody has them, there is nobody to hype them, hence, nobody notices.

There is such thing as 'too rare', apparently.

again, was just going off the checklist and 1 per box and 100 players. and by sp, i meant to the set, with this having retail and being the new hoops premium, nothing will actually be rare in it except the numbered stuff.

Even with the 3 LaMelo variations, that’s a massive hit!!!

I feel ya. Makes sense. I just thought everyone in the set was going to have all variations.

LOL pretty funny how we all had different views.

I think i understood that there were different checklists, but my assumption was that there would be much less of the exospheres making them really really rare.

It doesn't appear to be though, just another insert set (SP compared to others though since 5 "sub divisions" in the set)

eastbayak · 12-16-2021, 09:16 PM

Such a sexy card!!!

beavers · 12-16-2021, 10:25 PM

I hate to admit it, but I really like some of these cards.

HunterConnorMom · 12-17-2021, 07:32 AM

Wow Curry looks incredible! Picked up a Luka purple and silver titan cards after the discussion yesterday. Based on case breaks, silver titan of a player is one per 9 cases.

TSonn · 12-17-2021, 10:27 AM

The Titans were sweet when they first debuted in 2019 Chronicles Baseball and then again in 2019 Chronicles Football. I was mad when Panini didn't include the set with 2019-20 Chronicles for Zion/Ja. Glad they did something with that brand - they seem to be the chase hit for Flux.

oshmeehan · 12-17-2021, 11:16 AM

Does anyone know if the Flux Signatures set is Retail only or some other SKU? I have yet to see any listed on eBay and it is a pretty big checklist

You aren't the only one. Honestly, I don't even care for the base cards because I'm in love with some of the insert designs. Sort of reminds me of 2019-20 Spectra (base cards were meh but the Color Blast insert was sweet).

Thanks man!! Congrats on picking up the Luka Titans, share some pictures when they arrive. I was watching a Curry silver one for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger on it at $79.99 only to have found that it had already sold. Oh well, hopefully another one pops up soon. Going to add other parallels too?

I had no clue that Titan previously debuted in a product (albeit in other sports). Too bad they didn't include it in 2019-20 Chronicles because it would've been cool to own a Zion one, especially at current buy-in prices.

eastbayak · 12-17-2021, 05:35 PM

Damn, someone bought the Curry Titan Gold Scope FOTL /18 for $799.99.

Now it'll be more challenging to find that card any cheaper because all future sellers will reference that sale as a comp.

oldgoldy97 · 12-17-2021, 05:38 PM

My box had a Lebron killer Isaiah Stewart Titan purple scope /38 and a Larry Bird gold scope /8 FOTL.

Those gold scopes are sexy.

Absolutely agree with beavers, the gold scopes are truly aesthetic. Bird is a good one to hit too.

That Black scope KD is incredible. Scope is one of my favorite parallel designs. cool to see them use it on these with different colors.

I snagged an Ant Thermosphere & Jokic Gold Scope Titan today. Will post when they come in.

Is it possible we are actually seeing a lot of these cards because people are actually ripping them? IE Those that got in for a decent price at release and not pay an arm plus leg.

Here’s a picture of the Luka purple scope. Really like the design of these cards.
