Max Verstappen auto is a redemption. Weak job by Topps!
Still like the design!

Caved and picked up a case... hope the price doesn't plummet like flagship did

For how much? Good luck!

Should be interesting to see if these go up and also what the colors go for

Bob Ross · 03-08-2022, 12:35 PM

I wonder if Chrome will actually release on Topps' website tomorrow.

i would think so, what are we looking at, maybe $300 for hobby? Curious if they'll also release Lite as well.

JediScavenger · 03-08-2022, 02:49 PM

Has anyone seen any of the details of the Lite boxes? Are they different odds for the serial cards than the full hobby boxes?

I knew flagship would plummet! All those people who overpaid for the boxes! How much was the case? Regret not picking up a few cases of 2020 chrome last year

cj828282 · 03-08-2022, 04:54 PM

Looks like from the few lite boxes I have seen open that the expectation is for the 4 raywaves and refractors and maybe one colored parallel. Guess there will be a few boxes with more than 1 parallel and some with non parallels. Think I am going to pass unless I am lucky to get some on the Topps drop at a reasonable price.

mnvikingstwins · 03-08-2022, 04:57 PM

Paper is garbage, retail is better than hobby

cj828282 · 03-08-2022, 09:08 PM

Posted on Twitter. Have not checked for accuracy since I have not seen odds. Does anyone have 2020 pr handy for comparison?

Noted correction: Checkered flag is /590 and Hobby Cases is not correct since value boxes have not been considered.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I prefer the simpler design of the flagship over the chrome.

Check these out below. I can’t be the only who thinks these look bad. They didn’t just add a chrome foil on top of the checker…. They overlayed another offset checker pattern on top and a different color?!?! And the black and white ray wave… it looks like the card is experiencing technical difficulties.

I am sure some of these sounded really good on paper but the finished product had other ideas.

How invested in 2021 paper are you?

I agree the pics aren’t great but that’s pretty typical with scans of chrome parallels.

you're like the Jim Jones of Paper.

are you going to keep chugging that kool aid when boxes get down to $200?

bhundley · 03-09-2022, 06:49 AM

Certainly from past experience with these Raywaves in Bowman, the scans don’t do them justice.

rgatta26 · 03-09-2022, 08:45 AM

Is there a list of all the international Topps websites out there? Italy, Germany, Uk, etc.

Swung and miss on all F1 public sales, hoping to change my luck.

Just click on the flag icon in the upper right hand corner. A dropdown appears of all the different country sites.

Keep in mind though not all will ship to the states. I think only UK and German sites (maybe one other I'm forgetting) have US shipping, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

nickdrizzle · 03-09-2022, 10:08 AM

is this actually going to drop today? usually they tweet the night before that it is "coming soon." trying to throw off the bots by not doing so?

I know Topps doesn't do anything with any rhyme or reason but F1 paper dropped around 2pm for reference.

All the bots have the link for the drop already. I know UK, DE and USA has been loaded onto the Topps website so far.

elp11 · 03-09-2022, 10:31 AM

There’s your tweet.

Women's Division dropped earlier this morning. Probably Opening Day next and F1 last would be my guess.
